This may be a silly question, but I have a hard time reading the standings. I’m assuming it goes based on % lost that week for the team. But sometimes a team wins, and when I look back on there, it’s not the highest % lost. (Like in week 3 of April, I believe Gutbusters won but another team had a higher %).

I’m just wondering if I’m missing something lol. I enjoy checking in to see how we are doing but I don’t trust the numbers I see lol.

After the week ends, and the winner's post is made, the totals may change due to team member drop outs after the weekly standings are published, or if a weight was entered after the weekly winners were posted. For example if someone posted their weight late, it will change the numbers due to the new information, but as they posted late, we do not correct the winner's post. It someone is no longer on the team, the totals will change as the calculations were done with them on the sheet and now that they are no longer there, the calculations change because it's re-calculated with them removed, all of the calculations happen automatically, not manually. And we do not change the weekly results in this case either as they were a part of the team at the time the post was made. Each time a change to the spreadsheet is made, the totals update, automatically.

If you went back and looked at the first weeks of the challenge, the totals would most definitely not match the weekly posted winners as a lot of the members do not make it to the end of the month. The spreadsheet always contains the most up to date standings, as it contains the most up to date team member information, but you will see the totals change on the spreadsheet and there is no way around that as the spreadsheet updates itself every time someone leaves the challenge.

Basically, the weekly postings contain the winners at the close of the week at the time that the post was made.
I hope that explains the discrepancies.

And on a side note, if this is in reference to Week 3 of April** this is because one of the members of the team (Gutbusters) made an error in posting their weight on the thread which showed an inaccurate loss for that member and thus caused Gutbusters to show as winning when they did not and I am correcting the post today, I just have not been able to make the change yet due to time constraints.
