Question about Batting Average 2009-01-01 02:52:07 Reply

Is the batting average based off ALL of your Flash Submissions or Just the Top 3 Flashes.

Because I checked my B.A. and it didn't make sense that my B.A. is 3.93 when my Top 3 submissions are 4.07, 4.07, and 4.06.

I thought they changed it to Top 3 with the redesign.

What you're thinking about is the fact that you have to have at least 3 flashes to have a batting average.

But yes, your batting average is an average of everything, just like the literal meaning of the word.

I'm really not sure, because when I calculated my BA, I got the following results:
BA from top 3 submissions: 3.86
BA from all submissions: 3.59294118
BA shown: 3.86

However, it certainly doesn't make sense in your case..

BA from top 3 = 4.18333
BA from all submissions = 4.0075
BA Shown = 4.19
For me, it's the top 3.

No, you only get a batting average when you submit 3 entries into the portal, once you've done that and you submit more flash, it will affect your batting average. So it goes off all your flash.

Yeah, same with me
with my top 3 I should have a 4.05, but my average shown is a 3.74

That used to be the case, but I´m pretty sure they changed that. I remember when I had two flashes in the portal, my batting average was about 1.72 while both submissions had scores of 2.00+. Turned out that if you have two flashes, the system adds a third flash with a score of 0.00 to calculate your BA.

Anyways, the reason why your batting average is off probably has something to do with co-authoring. As you can see here, Bahamut´s batting average is 4.32 while none of his movies are even close to that score. He has been co-authored by AfroUnderscoreStud a lot however, who does have a few movies with that score or higher.
