Who are the World's Best Fans? Announcing New FanIQ Points
by Ty Ty
>7 days ago

 When FanIQ first started, your FanIQ was based on your ability to predict sports.  Pretty limiting, huh?  Starting today, you’ll be able to prove your “fandom” and “knowledge” via dozens of metrics and compare your FanIQ to tens of thousands of sports fans from all over the World.

 

FanIQ Points = Fan Points + IQ Points:

 

Fan Points (Prove your fandom)  -  Fan Points measure your passion for sports and your contributions to the FanIQ community.  Earn points for activities that other FanIQ members judge as valuable.  For example, you earn points for every thumbs up you receive or every time someone views a video that you upload.  The bigger the contribution, the bigger the reward.  Earn huge points for submitting a blog, news link, video or poll that gets featured on the homepage by our editors.  Recruit a new member to join FanIQ and earn 1,000 points!

 

IQ Points (Prove your knowledge) – IQ points measure your knowledge of sports.  Earn points for entering prediction polls and pick’ems, playing trivia and quizzes.    We've dramatically increased the points for pick'ems and predictions so keep picking.

 

We’ve spent months crunching data from existing members and calculating how much each contribution should be worth.  We’ve tweaked the formula dozens of times.  We've translated ALL of your historical points into the revised point system.  Click here to see how you earn points.   This new point system is going to let us do all kinds of cool things.  We plan on tweaking the points awarded system regularly, like a stock market,

 

So, who are the top fans on FanIQ?  (Just a note that Critical Fanatic is not eligible due to his editor role):

 

1. Scott

2. Jon

3. Ryan

4. Seth

5. KSBengals

 

Questions?  Feedback?  Let me hear it.

I am 35. I say we go around calling each other by our fan number like they did in the Stonecutters episode on the Simpsons.

Wait a minute...does this mean no more medals and trophies?  No points trophies?  No gold medals? No weekly trophies?

I have to admit that I thought something was way wrong when I saw I earned 3170 points for NBA pick'em tonight.

There's a bug in the pick'ems, which will be corrected in tomorrow's update.  Sorry, #35...you might drop to 36 tomorrow. =)

 

Awards, trophies, etc. won't be going away...we'll be updating them too in the near future, so stay tuned!

I thought there might be something funny about that. I mean I knew I was good at Pick'ems but that was a little much.

So will the numbers (FanIQ Points) update every night or "live updates"?

I am just wondering where would Jason (Critical Fanatic) have fallen in the top fan list if he was able to be part of the list.
