Hey maths fans,
I've finally completed the calculations for the global scoring sheet. I've tested the results with Connz & my own times and it spits out results exact to the point, which was something of a relief.
Obviously the credit for this goes entirely to GrantR and those who helped him collecting earlier data (predominantly ben1bob). I've prettied it up a little from earlier versions and hidden some of the data. Also added World Record times and current holders for reference'll update these periodically).
Interesting fact: If one player held all the records in the game they'd have a Global of 23,280,162 and a Global + DLC of 41,568,504.
Download it at the link below. To use, just fill in your own times and faults in the yellow columns. Just be sure to use the same format I have (minutes:seconds.split). Note that there are 3 sheets on the document, one for the main game, and one each for the two DLCs.

UPDATE: Latest version uploaded 22nd July. Changes: included pics of track groups and updated World Records.
If you're still having dramas with the DL, or are just feeling lazy, send me a PM on forum messaging with your email address and I'll flick you a copy.
Cool sheet man!
Only wish that Redlynx would use this.
Cheers Blaster.
I suppose, in essence, they do. This spread sheet merely recreates the calculations occurring in the game's coding. Not sure what's lead to your score glitch and I don't know anything at all about coding, so don't really understand why they can't manually input an updated score for you. It may well be possible to override the system and manually adjust your score, but then they'd probably need to do that every time you improved a track.Originally Posted by iStriide
Have there been any updates on it recently?
I am sure the code for the scoring exists somewhere, why can't they take the official code and make a spreadsheet to check scores and then give the player the correct score.Originally Posted by iStriide
Nice effort Adam, have to check this out later!Originally Posted by Defoliator
Unfortunately no updates.Originally Posted by Defoliator
Edit: It tells me i have to log in if i want to download the file. So it's free but i have to register?
No mate, first click the Download button under the file info (next to Share with Friends button). A new page will pop up with two boxes: One has a priority download button and the other a Free Download button. Click Free Download and your download manager should pop up with the correct Excel file. I might post download directions with pictures as it's bloody easy to get misdirected to register or pay for stuff.Originally Posted by Eevan80
UPDATE: Sorry Eevan, figured you'd just clicked wrong, but got a PM from darkgiggsxx having the same problem. Tested it on my GF's computer and yeah, piece of **** website won't let a download happen without registration. Have switched to Dropbox so hopefully it works now.
Forgot your score was broken as well. Has it completely frozen? Because that might give me a chance to catch up a little.Originally Posted by Eevan80![]()
Just went to the Redlynx site with all the leader boards on it and it says they're down for maintenance, so maybe a fix is happening now.
Pheew, lucky me!Originally Posted by DefoliatorDownloaded very well, thank you!
No, my score isn't frozen, i'm missing around 10,000 points (ca. 8-9 spots on the LB). And i'm not convinced this can be fixed, RL anyhow remain silent. I'm also wondering if iStride gained all lost points now, which would explain why it can't be fixed that easy, but this is just an assumption.
Anyway it's totally disappointing!
I saw you improved a lot of runs in the SP over the last weeks, good work!![]()
Cheers mate, as we discussed earlier, March Madness really upped my skill level. Have gone from average track rankings of around 2000 to 500ish on most tracks with relative ease. There's still a big gap between us (& Stego), mostly due to your work on TYM. Might have to bite the bullet and have a crack at platting that bastard.Originally Posted by Eevan80
Love your new track Colonies BTW! Will upload a vid of your run tonight to your thread. Assume you've beaten my time already?
Just noticed a couple of comments disappeared from here when the board went down as well.
GlobalWorleythink) noticed that his score was out by 1 when he changed his time on Elevation.
Just FYI mate, it's unlikely that this was due to an issue with that specific track. Your score should be accurate to +/- 1 as occasionally rounding errors will throw the score out by one point.
