Ok so you may be
wondering how I decide who gets this award.
I have come up with a
different method to do this award, only the top 9% of my winners will
be considered for this award.
All the platinum
winners will qualify for this award and only those gold winners who have
scored a 91-94 will qualify.
Since this award is
only given twice a years, for the first judging period in June, only the
winners from January through June will qualify. For the second judging
period in December, only the winners from July through December will
qualify.
After I decide who
qualifies, all scores are wiped clean and everyone will start off with
125% , from there I deduct points not add.
First I go to the
sites to make sure they still comply with my general criteria.. all
sites must meet my stated criteria for my other awards, be careful here...
if your site no longer complies with my stated criteria I reserve the right
to remove it from the winners circle at any given time.
After I have made sure
your site is still in compliance with my criteria it will then proceed to
the judging stage.
I will deduct
points on a point system based on design and content, creativity and
originality, navigation, award presentation and impression.
The point system is
based on a 0-5 point rating, with 0 being poor and 5 being perfect. Out of a
possible 25 points you can lose as little as 0 points and as high as 25
points
0-5 points for Design
and Content
0-5 points for Creativity and Originality
0-5 points for Navigation
0-5 points for Award Presentation
0-5 points for Impression
If I give you a 3 for
example in creativity and originality, a 2 in Design and Content, 4 in
Navigation, 2 for Award Presentation and 5 for Impression.
Now deduct those
numbers form the possible high five there, in other words:
3 - 5= 2
2 - 5= 3
4 - 5= 1
2 - 5= 3
5 - 5= 0.
Now add those numbers
together, 2+3+1+3+0=9, now deduct that 9 from the original 125% I started
you with and you get your final score.
I would continue to do
this until I have the highest remaining score and a winner.
in the event of a tie
all who tied will be awarded.
