Metaverse Score calculated correctly?

May 5, 2003 11:41 AM from

I understand, that Metaverse Score (s) is sum of points (p) devided by sqrt of number of games (g): s=p/sqrt(g)
My points (p) are 1925 with 7 games (g). This is 727,57. But my Metaverse Score says: 966,3
But I tried a bunch of scores of players and most times the score is correct according to the formula. But for Andrew Chai and Ralph Crosswhite, the Metaverse Leaders, it's also too high. Is something wrong with the formula or did I miss something?

Some of these leaders had scores deleted/manually adjusted and I'm not sure that everything was re-calculated correctly. Further, with them planning to retroactively adjust scores according to the 1.03.057 algorithm, hopefully they're also going to recalculate the whole metaverse from scratch (otherwise a lot of people are going to have medals for score totals they no longer have among other things).

I have no knowledge of one of my scores being deleted or manually adjusted by someone. But I think we agree, that something is wrong here somehow? Can't really understand the problem, its just an easy SQL or maybe SQLplus-Database recalculation based on a simple formula.
