The Top Ten Lists are possible in any Gallery, but are really only useful if the Host is holding Contests

in the Gallery.

 

 

 

The Top Ten Lists are all about achievements!  

 

AND bragging rights (you know… SnapBraggin! )

 

 

By achievements we mean, the earning of points and awards in your Gallery's Contests ! 

 

 

 

The TOP TEN INCLUDES TWO LISTS:

 

TOP TEN MEMBERS: The Top Ten includes a display list of your Gallery's Top Ten most awarded Members

and their seven Highest Point photos.

 

TOP TEN PHOTOS: The Top Ten also includes a display list of the Top Ten highest point achieving photos

in your Gallery.

 

 

 

Each TOP TEN LIST ALSO INCLUDES TWO POINTS VERSIONS:

 

Whenever Contest results are Recorded, SnapBraggin tabulates and keeps track of the points earned

by the winning photos that have been judged or rated in the Contest.

 

Points are tabulated in two ways:

 

PLACEMENT POINTS: Placement Points are earned per how many photos have been defeated.

 

AWARDS POINTS: Award Points are based on how many 1st Round Ribbons, Champion Rosettes and

Grand Champion Cups have been earned.

 

 

 

HOW ARE TOP TEN POINTS CALCULATED?

 

 

While viewing one of the Top Ten Lists pages, you may click on an Explanation link to read about

how the points were calculated for that specific Points version.   

 

 

PLACEMENT POINTS EXPLANATION:

 

Placement Points are earned per how many photos have been defeated.

 

Here's how it works... A point is given for each entry you beat in competition.

·       For First Round (standard) contests, the top ten placements earn points.

·       For Champion and Grand Champion contests, the top three placements earn points.

 

NOTE:  Only valid entries are counted.  Valid means that the entries COULD be selected by the Judge as Finalists. 

Non-valid entries (such as Pending Approval or Rejected photos) are hidden from the judge, so those are not counted. 

Entries in the Contest that are Disqualified by the Judge are also not counted (because they cannot be Finalists.)

 

For example:  

Let's say a photo places First Place in a Contest in which there are 15 valid entries.

 

Well, in that case, the photo beat (was placed higher than) 14 other entries, which means that the photo therefore

earned 14 placement points.

 

Another example:

Let's say a photo places Third Place in a Contest in which there are 15 valid entries.

 

Well, in that case, the photo beat (was placed higher than) 12 other entries, which means that the photo therefore

earned 12 placement points.

 

 

 

AWARD POINTS EXPLANATION:

 

Award points are earned by achieving awards (Ribbons, Rosettes or Cups), based on the following scale:

 

 

Grand Champion Award Points

 

These points are earned by achieving these awards in a Grand Champion Contest.

 

FIRST PLACE CUP = 48 points

SECOND PLACE CUP = 32 points

THIRD PLACE CUP = 16 points

 

 

Champion Award Points

 

These points are earned by achieving these awards in a Champion Contest.

 

FIRST PLACE ROSETTE = 12 points

SECOND PLACE ROSETTE = 8 points

THIRD PLACE ROSETTE = 4 points

 

 

First Round Award Points

 

These points are earned by achieving these awards in a Standard Contest.

 

FIRST PLACE RIBBON = 3 points

SECOND PLACE RIBBON = 2 points

THIRD PLACE RIBBON = 1 point

 

 

For example:

An entry will receive 32 points for winning the Second Place Cup award in a Grand Champion contest.
