Formula for the grand finale

I was thinking of using the same formula Henrik used for the '90s last year, but I remember some new formulas were devised for the all-time polls. I'm partial to using Henrik's formula, but what do you guys think?

This is his formula:

Score=100*(1+20)/(Position+20)

Place 1 100.00
Place 2 95.45
Place 3 91.30
Place 4 87.50
Place 5 84.00
Place 6 80.77
Place 7 77.78
Place 8 75.00
Place 9 72.41
Place 10 70.00
.

.
Place 91 18.92
Place 92 18.75
Place 93 18.58
Place 94 18.42
Place 95 18.26
Place 96 18.10
Place 97 17.95
Place 98 17.80
Place 99 17.65
Place 100 17.50

Or one of the new ones.

I should really look over my posts before pressing post message, that last sentence should have been removed.

That looks good to me

Are you gonna send us Excel files like Henrik did last year ?

There are only 15 albums I haven't heard in the finale

Re: Formula for the grand finale

That formula worked pretty well last year, so let's go for it. And I feel honoured that DrDre's formula is still alive!

In my memory the general formula I suggested was

Score = 100 * ( 1 + x ) / ( Position + x )

and than Henrik suggested to take 20 for x. So credits to Henrik too.
