As Gargoyle stated, it's not the golfing down that's the issue, it's getting a working solution that's often the problem... _________________________ The Code is out there

I believe that there should be participation points for anyone that can show a valid attempt. Maybe bonus point for a working solution. And the usual bonus points for the top 5 _________________________ Today is the tomorrow you worried about yesterday.

One could post a shell UDF that fails most or all tests and claim it's a solution and thus worth points. I do believe that anybody having spent effort on creating a solution, even if it fails, and posts the results in the UDF Forum should be rewarded with a participation point. I also think that posts during the private round should be worth more. That's why I came up with this weird scoring approach. What I could do is change the granting of the private round point from "1 Point for the 1st to 5th Place in the private coding round (if valid script was posted in public round)" to a broader "1 Point for all participants in the private coding round (results posted in private round and valid script posted in public round)". A script would be valid if it demonstrates an attempt to create a solution, even it it doesn't pass a tests. _________________________ There are two types of vessels, submarines and targets.

If that is the case my vote would be yes. _________________________ Wait don't order yet,... get KiXforms Designer .NET 2.0 (Beta) KiXforms Designer .NET 2.0 (Beta)

Sealeopard Sealeopard KiX Master Registered: 2001-04-25 Posts: 11165 Loc: Boston, MA, USA	Yes, it is but only the first five would get the bonus and only if the solution passed all tests. The new version would make anybody eligible for the bonus that demonstrates at least an attempt to solve the problem, even if not all tests are being passed. _________________________ There are two types of vessels, submarines and targets.
