Re-Do "Let's Play the College Ranking Game (+/-)"

College Confidential Community

<p>If you're not familiar with a plus/minus ranking game, here are the rules:</p>

<p>1) You may play once a day (called a 'turn')</p>

<p>2) Each turn, you may add a point to one college, and subtract a point from another. State your changes at the end of the post, and make the change to the actual numbers beside the colleges. Obviously, you should copy and paste the post before you instead of rewriting the entire list.</p>

<p>3) Once a college reaches '0', it is removed from play and given a ranking (ex. 'UVA is the 23rd ranked college on College Confidential.').</p>

<p>4) When all but one are eliminated, the remaining college is named the winner.</p>

<p>So, do you want to find out where your favorite colleges stand? YOU decide their fate. Once all the colleges have been ranked, I'll post a final list of the rankings.</p>

<p>A little additional info: The colleges present on the list are those ranked in the top 33 for the 2011 US News rankings. Yes, I know these rankings aren't necessarily accurate, but I needed a cut-off point (the game wouldn't be any fun if there were too many on the list). If your favorite college isn't included, sorry. I can't please everyone. The single addition and subtraction rule is subject to change, though. Eventually, a few colleges will share hundreds of points, and it'll be beneficial to allow posters to subtract two points while only adding one. </p>

<p>Come on, we aren’t even done with the first one. You can’t just copy and paste the rules I created and tweak a few things. Please end the thread. </p>

<p>PS: Don’t worry, a new ranking game is planned in the other topic that will incorporate all of the above colleges and more! Don’t be impatient… ;)</p>

<p>I agree with StudiousMaximus - why are we doing the same game again? Just wait for the new one.</p>
