A "regular" ranked list results in a total of 55 points available. (1 point for 10th, 10 points for 1st, etc.)
No list can earn more than 55 points.
No vote can be worth more than 10 points.
If a person gave 10 games but did not rank them, each game gets 5.5 points.
If a person gave less than 10 and did not rank them, they still only get 5.5 each.
If a person gave less than 10 and did rank them, they forfeited their points available for 10th, 9th, etc. (i.e. a list of 8 ranked is a total of 52 points)
If a person doesn't rank their list, but specifically says the last game they talk about is their GOTY, then that game gets 10 points and the rest get 5.
Based on this, the community lists should now be Top 5 instead of Top 10. Just a thought.
From what I understand, the staff will have full lists eventually. As for your own list for the Community GOTY, you can put whatever you want on it, but it'll still be a max of 10.
