    Hey I have a question for the admins because there is something that I don't understand.
    Currently, CW is number 1 (congratz!!) with 81.22% and 1,064
    I am second (yea ;)) with 81.06% and 1,032

    BUT when you look at the uploads, I have this month 38 stills in the game and CW has 1.
    So I have 1,032 + 38 = 1,070 and CW has 1,064 + 1 = 1,065

    Did I do the maths wrong? Is there something I'm missing? I don't understand...

    you add your uploads to your solves, but you should subtract your uploads from the total of stills posted.

    Toffetomas is right, it's a question of substraction and percentage, not total adding of solved shots + uploads.

    Let me explain :

    At the moment of calculation, the total of shots in FF is about 1312.

    The percentage is calculated on the total of shots, minus the total of your own uploads.
    Total : for CW : 1311 ; for theoffice : 1274

    Then you take the percentage of the solved shots, with regard to the personnal number of "potentialy solvable" shots (preceding totals) :
    for CW : 1064 regard to 1311 ---> 81.2
    for theoffice : 1032 regard to 1274 ---> 81.00


    Conclusion : CW is the best, theoffice is like Poulidor.

    Raymond Poulidor (born 15 April 1936, Masbaraud-Mérignat, Creuse, France), is a former professional bicycle racer. He was known as the eternal second, because he finished the Tour de France in second place three times, and in third place five times, including his final Tour at the age of 40. Despite his consistency, he never wore the Yellow Jersey in 14 Tours, of which he completed 12.

    His career, despite being distinguished, coincided with two great riders - Jacques Anquetil and Eddy Merckx. This underdog position may have been the reason Poulidor was a favourite of the public.
