The point system for the Official Name that 80's Song Thread works as follows (for now...it's like the BCS, it keeps changing)
Correct Guess (title & artist)= 1 pt, Stumper (over 24 Hrs w/o a correct guess, Fri-Mon = 1 day)= 2 pts, Incorrect Guess = -1 pt (board senoirity will break ties for now)
In the Game Thread, You'll see this every once & a while
CUTOFF
That is a marker for me so I don't have to count ALL the guesses all over again...
I'll try to update the standings at least once a week. After a certain length of time There may be Prizes (this is on my own of course, but if it catches on, maybe I can persuade the Jazz Doctor for a small supply of FFR Magnets!!! One can hope) Have fun And guess those 80's Songs!!!!
Jeremy Riggs none correct...(He loses a full point for having at least two bones thrown his way and missing them both, but he gets a 1/2 point for having the Jazz Doctor in Studio on Monday...His first correct answer will bring his score back to normal, though he may never be)
(7th) Indiana University - 1/32 pt (finally fired their terrible FB coach, 8 wins in 3 seasons..adios, don't let the door hit your butt on the way out)
(8th) My Jokes -0 pts (yeah...I'm just not that funny, Won't stop me from trying)
Accumulated answers since last cutoff
Trish 2 correct
Mocrzy 2 correct
StevieB 2 correct
Jeremy Riggs...Holy Bah-gee-bers...he got one right.... he's still in last, but no longer goosing it...
