Well, I am confused myself. I tried to work this out but could not come up with the same answer as EI have.
These were the rules as of the time of the competition:
- For each review submitted, a star ratings given for each area of the review will have a points value. The higher the outcome for each area selected, the more points that review will be worth. The escort with the highest points value by the end of the month will be declared the winner.
- The month that the escort is announced the winner will be the winner based on the points totalled from the previous month; i.e. 'Miss September' is calculated from the reviews submitted in August, and so on.
- Reviews will only count when a) the reviewer has held a message boards account for six months and b) their reviews will only be counted from their tenth review.
- If a client resubmits a review for an escort that they have already visited, only their first review will have a points value. In any event, the new review will always replace the old review.
- If we believe that a review is fake, we may disqualify an escort from the competition for the month. If there are more serious cases of cheating, we may disqualify escorts from all future competitions.
- Escorts cannot win the competition two consecutive months. In the event of an escort receiving the highest points a second month in a row, the person in second place will take the winning spot.
- Reviews that are submitted from a masked (proxified) or non-Irish/non-Northern Irish IP address will be deleted.
- Once the winner has been announced for a particular month, any review points that are received for that month thereafter will not be counted or carried over into the next month.
This is how I calculated the points!
Sarah received a
total of 11 reviews during September and Larissa received a
total of 10 reviews submitted during the same period.
At this point I removed the reviews from clients with less than 10 reviews as per the rule 3.
I then removed the reviews from clients who have been registered for less than 6 months on the forum as per the rule 3.
Having removed those reviews
Sarah is left with 6 reviews and Larissa still has 10!
Qualified reviewers of Irish Sarah:

red boy (135)
tom rambo (82)
Shaners2000 (18)
dan8808 (23)
Charlie Brookes (12)
Qualified reviewers of Larissa Laurentis:

SteveB (60)

green (12)
jamieboyo (21)
tribesman (24)
d96 (13)
tom rambo (82)
peadarr (11)
willie wacker (40)
I now had to check how many points each escort had accumulated.
Points are awarded in the following circumstances:
Overall Experience:
Rating Score
1 star = 0 review points
2 star = 0 review points
3 star = 1 review point
4 star = 1.5 review points
5 star = 2 review points
Would Repeat:
Yes = 1 review point
No = 0 review points
Would Recommend:
Yes = 1 review point
No = 0 review points
Sarah has in
Overall Experience 5 x 5 star ratings and 1 x 4 star rating = 11.5 points
Larissa has in
Overall Experience 10 x 5 star ratings = 20 points
Sarah has
6 Would Recommend and
6 Would Repeat giving her
12 points
Larissa has
10 Would Recommend and
10 Would Repeat giving her
20 points
Adding the Overall Experience, the Would Recommend and Would Repeat points together for each lady I got the following result:
Sarah has a total of 23.5 points
Larissa has a total of 40 points
It should also be noted that Sarah has 2 reviews for September that were submitted in October - theses don’t count as they were submitted after the deadline (
they don't have a qualifying review count either).
So if this is correct how can Irish Sarah be the winner 23.5 points? Why is Larissa Laurentis not the winner with 40 points?
One thing that does need to be taken into consideration is
rule 4 “repeat reviews” I believe Larissa has one repeat review so if this is correct then 4 points need to be subtracted from the original total of 40 which would leave her with 36!
So if there is a review that has to be removed my calculations lead me to the following points
Sarah has a total of 23.5 points
Larissa has a total of 36 points
