STEP 2: Rank your 10-show roster
Based on the point breakdown, you get more points when giving the more likely-to-be-canceled shows a rank of #1 or #2.

 










 
STEP 3: Tiebreaker #1: When will the first cancellation of a new show occur, based on last episode aired? Closest to the date, over or under, wins this tiebreaker

Tiebreaker #2 goes to the contest participant who locked his/her roster in earliest.

Point breakdown

  1. Points Based on Rank: Based on your personal rank, you will earn points for each of your shows regardless of when they get canceled: if the show you rank as #1 gets canceled at any time, you'll earn 100 points.
    ( #2 = 90 points; #3 = 80 points; #4 = 70 points; #5 = 60 points; #6 = 50 points; #7 = 40 points; #8 = 30 points; #9 = 20 points; #10 = 10 points)

  2. "Berman Bonus": You'll get "Berman Bonus" points attached to every show, based on Marc's prediction of each series' odds of survival.

  3. Unique Show Points: You get bonus points for picking unique shows (shows not commonly chosen by your fellow players)...

    • The formula to determine Unique Show points for one show is:
      { (Number of participants -1) - (Number of participants picking this show) } × 0.20

  4. Duplicate Rank Deficit: ... however, if you do pick similar shows like others, you are only penalized for ranking them the same as others. So for example, if everyone ranks "Private Practice" as their #1 show to be canceled, points are deducted from everyone's total.

    • The formula to determine Duplicate Rank Deficit for one show is:
      { (Number of participants picking this show and ranking it the same) } × - 0.20

  5. "First Ten" Bonus:

    1. The actual first 10 CANCELED SHOWS get bonuses:
      • First show that gets canceled this season earns you a 100% bonus
      • Second show = 90% bonus
      • Third show = 80% bonus
      • Fourth show = 70% bonus
      • Fifth show = 60% bonus
      • Sixth show = 50% bonus
      • Seventh show = 40% bonus
      • Eighth show = 30% bonus
      • Ninth show = 20% bonus
      • Tenth show = 10% bonus

       
      If more than one show gets canceled occurs on the same day, this is considered a TIE and I'd take the average percentage. For example, if the cancellation of the first two shows of the season happen on the same day, each show gets a bonus of 95%
       
    2. The actual first 10 PLAYERS who get their entire 10-show roster canceled get bonuses:
      • First player that gets entire 10-show roster canceled this season earns you a 100% bonus
      • Second player = 90% bonus
      • Third player = 80% bonus
      • Fourth player = 70% bonus
      • Fifth player = 60% bonus
      • Sixth player = 50% bonus
      • Seventh player = 40% bonus
      • Eighth player = 30% bonus
      • Ninth player = 20% bonus
      • Tenth player = 10% bonus

       
      If more than one player gets their 10-show roster canceled on the same day, this is considered a TIE and I'd take the average percentage. For example, if the first two players' rosters get entirely canceled on the same day, each player gets a bonus of 95%


    Here's the mathematical formula for calculating the points of each show of your roster:

    { Points Based on Rank + "Berman Bonus" + Unique Show Points + Duplicate Rank Deficit }
    ×
    "First Ten" bonus

    Keep in mind that this contest ends on the final day of the May 2009 sweeps.
