Okay, here are the unofficial official results through Contest 9.
http://www.padens.com/files/MM_Contest/MMScoreContest2012-Thru9.pdf
I went ahead and left everyonoe in on the spreadsheet even those who haven't entered enough contests to qualify so they can see where they are. After you get to the bottom of the ones eligible for the contest they are sorted strictly based on which contests they have entered and then based on alphabetical order, so don't think the guy listed at 345th place is any worse than the guy listed at 241st place, they all have an n/a in the net column so they aren't sorted for the total contest.
Here's an explaination on how the contest and the spreadsheet works.
You get to drop the worst 3 scores if you enter all of the contests. If you miss a contest that counts as one of your drops.
The spreadsheet simply totals the score differences for each contest and that's what goes in the total column. That is your gross difference. Then it counts the number of contests that the user has entered and puts it in the "Cnt" column. Based on the number of contests entered, it calculates how many drops that person has and puts that in the "Drp" column. Next the spreadsheet calculates the largest misses and puts them in order in the "Large 1", "Large 2", and "Large 3" columns. Then checks how many drops that person gets and removes the largest drops that it can to get to the net. If you don't get 3 drops it still calculates them and puts them in those columns, but when it calculates the net score it only takes away the ones you are eligible to drop.
Still getting a lot of participation this year compared to last, 229 folks are still in the running on the contest with 351 different folks who have entered at least 1 contest.
One thing I mentioned on the contest thread, the B&C system doesn't have 1/3rds or 1/5ths. If you enter 1/4 or 1/2 I enter that as .25 or .5, but if you put down 1/3 or 2/3 or 1/5 I assume you made an error typing in the number and meant for it to be 1/8, 2/8, etc. and that's how I enter it. Hopefully this won't ever be a problem with someone winning or losing a contest, but PLEASE enter your guesses on an even 1/8 fraction. I can deal with the 1/4 and 1/2's but not the 1/3rds and 1/5ths.
Lastly, I've had a few duplicates slip through the cracks in my system (that's my job) so double check that too. This week there were 3 duplicates that I caught so hopefully that was all of them.
Okay, I think that's everything.
Good luck everyone!
Thanks, Nathan
