Was there a thread to explain scoring yet?

Scoring is ridiculously simple and intuitive. Basically, scoring is linear (non-participants get 0, last place gets 1, each higher place gets 1 more point). For team scores, just sum the 3 highest individual scores for each team. Sum the five weeks for the final scores.

Copy paste from what I said in another thread:

mikwuyma asked me to explain DMC's scoring proposal since I explained it to him and he thinks most people don't get DMC's explanation. All he is suggesting is that the same scores are used for both individual and team.

Ex: an 8-man tourney with team A in the first 4 spots and team B in the bottom 4. Original proposal would be 6 + 5 + 4 vs 3 + 2 + 1. DMC suggests 8 + 7 + 6 vs 4 + 3 + 2, which are the same individual values anyway. Even simpler.

This is more fair and also gives the non top 3 finishers something to accomplish for their team. Don't worry, you cannot be penalized as a team for no-shows or terrible 7th members. The only way you are hurt is if someone's say, 4th place finishes above any of your top 3.

Ok, easy enough. I saw that post before but I wasn't sure if that was the official system we were using.
