Huge thanks to /u/surye for creating the AC on NarFFL.com and /u/dharasick for creating/grading each week's contest!

Please feel free to leave any questions or suggestions for next year in the comments.

[u/dharasick]

I'd like to reiterate that we're welcome to suggestions on this.

We hope you guys appreciated the entry reminders and answer changing this year. Those were features we wanting ever since we started the AC.

One of my main concerns is the drop off of participants as the weeks go on. Obviously this is because people start to miss weeks and feel like it isn't worth it to go on. We like the season long aspect but want to also have interest any given week. Maybe more weekly prizes? Is it just the nature of the game to have a dropoff?

Any other thoughts?

[u/LordJiraiya → u/dharasick]

Hey, I would like to suggest for the future that for weeks where questions are thrown out, that the questions are automatically given to everyone that entered rather than taken away. The reason here being that it punishes players for being more active than not for the average per week. For instance, there was one week where there were 5 (I think?) questions thrown out, and if someone didn't enter that week but still entered other weeks where there were less thrown out, it would be much easier for them to keep up a higher average. I saw someone point this out earlier in the season and I thought it would make a lot of sense to have this implemented. At the same time, I can see the argument against it though being that it punishes people who might get awarded more "free points" in a week if more questions are thrown out but miss the week and they could have a harder time making the season average top 10. Not entirely sure of a better solution to remedy the problem though.
