If Farsight went to this number, would you promise not to beg for even more tiers in a few months?  <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite2" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=";)" />Here's one thing that I do think is a problem: Farsight's point system.  If Tarek and Dizzer2012 enter, they are almost guaranteed to get all the bonus points that you get only for finishing first or second.  (Of course, this can easily be checked with the web data.)  I think third place should get some bonus points, too, and the point curve should probably be exponential or some kind of concave-up curve, so that all places would get bonus points.(Just in case: bonus points mean the points you get over the linear number of points.  The current point system goes 100, 90, 85, 85-X, 85-2X, ...  where X is the linear point difference.  Thus #1 gets 100-(85+2X) = 15-2X bonus points, #2 gets 90-(85+X) = 5-X bonus points, and every other place gets zero bonus points.  Maybe I should call them "supralinear" points.  <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite2" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=";)" />)</blockquote>
