| How is it that someone wins for the day in a catagory but if you view the top 100 they have more points then the winner ? How does this work?

Category and daily winners are awarded at midnight, Pacific Daylight Time. Images must have received 15 votes (standard or signature) to win their respective award. Other images, without the awards, may have a higher average, but may not qualify for the awards due falling short of qualifying votes received at the time of rollover.

Hi there!
The winning image of the day is the highest scored image with 15+ votes at midnight. So, there may be a higher image but it may not have accumulated those 15 votes yet. Hope that helps answer your question!

I believe I understand you. Most of the top 100 in all the different categories have already won a categorie award unless they don't have 15 votes. Some think you shouldn't be able to see photos on the top 100 list if they havn't received an award yet. I think I agree with those people.

| Thankyou it at least makes sence now, so any photo can win around here good or bad as long at they got the 15 votes for the day, therefore if when voting you only get to vote on everyday average pictures , its the luck of the draw. If you has an outstanding photo, but it never comes up for anyone to vote you may not win that day, but on another day that photo comes up[ more you do win that day. Thios way everybodys a winner here good or bad or great.

That's ridiculous! No offense intended. Just to clarify how the system works... The active images in the voting pool are presented to voters in a random manner. Each voter gets to vote once on each unique image. The current site-wide vote ratio is 3.4512. That means you should expect to receive, on average, about 3 or 4 votes per day on each active image. 15 qualifying votes will be collected in about 4 days.
In general, the best images in each category win the award for which they qualify. Best average weighted rating wins. Weak images carrying poor ratings will not appear on the front page.
There has been some discussion of increasing the number of votes required to qualify for an award. Maybe the DAGC will address this issue, as time permits. Also, there has been some concern about skipping voting on some images. Since that distorts the random voting a bit, the DAGC should think about preventing scrolling through images via the voting window. I don't think is as big an issue as it was about a week ago.
