There was a thread a little while ago about what you do with your score sheets after a contest... I finally decided to look at all of them at once and write down the results from contests within the last year...
Everyone has there own way of measuring success or failure of performance at contests
(Ex. # of calls in any category during awards, # of top 10 placings, # of GC or RGC, total points, pt. gap between you and winner, percentile of placing out of total (ex. Is 15 out of 100 teams better than 10 out of 75 teams ??) how much fun you had regardless of scores/placings etc.)
7/06 - 583.427 pts (winner 660.571) placed 15/39, 1 call
8/06 - 609.713 pts (winner 634.713) placed 7/42, 2 calls
8/06 - 630.285 pts (winner 665.714) placed 9/72, 2 calls
4/07 - 602.142 pts (winner 658.285) placed 30/60, 0 calls
5/07 - 615.999 pts (winner 638.285) placed 3/47, 2 calls
7/07 - 616.570 pts (winner 638.857) placed 9/42, 2 calls
8/07 - 603.428 pts (winner 639.428) placed 9/57, 1 call
So, I asked myself which was I most proud of...
contest I scored the most points ?? contest I thought had the toughest competition ?? contest with my highest placing ?? contest with smallest gap to the winner in points ?? Contest I thought my finished product was the best ?? Contest I was best prepared at ?? Contest I had the most fun at ??
In the end, I had a hard time answering for myself. What I wanted to share is that I hope everyone realizes that each contest is unique and needs to be judged as such.
