Trophy Race update!

First of all, race rules:

1. See race formula below for calculating the winner *UPDATED*
2. The race will end on October 13, 2013 at 9pm PST. Screenshots will be taken and winner will be calculated from the race formula.
3. Only members with more than 200 donations by the race end time will be eligible to win this race.
4. New recruits who donated more than 200 troops will be eligible. 
5. Top prize increased to $30, courtesy of harvmister and deb2qt2bstr8!

Now, I did a trophy distribution graph today and compared it to the old graph on September 15, and found this:

A few things to learn from this graph:

1. Our clan overall has gained trophies on all player levels above level 25 (that means everyone). 
2. Higher level players have gained more trophies than lower level players over the last 3 weeks, as evident by the increase in slope. 
3. To make the race even more fair, we will change the race formula to reflect these new findings.

New formula:

• Expected Trophy = Player Level * 20 + 400
• Trophy Surplus = Player Trophy - Expected Trophy

Top 5 players using the old formula were (player level, surplus):

1. harvmister (87, 690)
2. deb (71, 689)
3. zeroratio (84, 681)
4. damien (63, 586)
5. lil josh (52, 585)

Top 5 players using the new formula are (player level, surplus):

1. lil josh (52, 365)
2. mac (51, 323)
3. deb (71, 279)
4. damien (63, 256)
5. selmankara (63, 210)

So, calculate your own trophy surpluses using the new formula, and see how far you need to go to claim the top prize!
