Week 6 "Bye-out" Eliminations
Dec. 14th, 2007 05:05 pmWell this is a first.
And considering that this season is the first for the byes, that means it is an LJ Idol first as well!
4 people missed the deadline and would have been given an auto-bye.
However, they had already used both of them.
Which means all 4 of them have been eliminated.

have left the building.
They will be missed in the competition, but hopefully they will stick around.
There are currently (and I don't have the sheet open at this point, so this is from memory, which might be faulty) 28 people on the verge on of doing the same! Which means this entire game could shift within a week! You just never know which way things are going to bounce next!
I certainly didn't expect any of these 4 to be out at this point in the game! But you never know...

2. How many people haven't used ANY byes?!

Date: 2007-12-14 10:55 pm (UTC)Also, good question. I've been forced to use both thanks to real life, but it's going to calm down after finals are over, and then the usual mad writing will resume.

Date: 2007-12-14 11:06 pm (UTC)Maybe after top fifty (I think that's when our chances to use our byes end) people with extra byes can do something with them. That'd definitely shake things up.

Date: 2007-12-15 12:14 am (UTC)26 who have used both.
35 who have used one.
For a current total of 103...but again, I could easily be off by a few.
no subject
Date: 2007-12-15 04:19 am (UTC)44 with 2 left
38 with 1 left
27 with 0 left
For a total of 109 players... so I think I have too many people!
I am not counting manually... I have a special page that shows a 1 if the player took a bye or 0 otherwise for each round. Datamining gives me the counts of 0 / 1 / 2 totals. Only problem is I have to make sure I remove the sum entries for people who are out of the competition.
Does anyone have a summary list?
ETA: I just datamined the entries I have this week and it looks like 109 might be the right number. Again, anyone who wants to confirm the "auf'ed" list, please do!

Date: 2007-12-15 05:41 pm (UTC)So, by my count, we have 108 people left. 104 when voting is over.
27 with no byes left
39 with 1 bye left
42 with both byes left
let's consult the sheet
Date: 2007-12-15 08:00 pm (UTC)# no byes - correct
# 1 bye - 38
# both - 43
if you want to send me your sheet I can cross check where the difference is...
Re: let's consult the sheet
Date: 2007-12-15 11:44 pm (UTC)I try to double check the byes every week with the voting poll.
Here's my spreadsheet: http://spreadsheets.google.com/pub?key=pQTxQ5f5DX7MymFFudcSDZQ
[Edit: Looks like they do match. Not sure where I had the numbers wrong earlier...]
