Re: WOC SOTA Summit Values


 

If I remember correctly, the short answer is the standard formula is highest N% of peaks in that association get 10 points, the lowest M% get 1 point, and they spread out the rest.? Since Colorado is it's own association, and we have a lot of high mountains compared to neighboring states, it creates a bit of a skew.

Complicating matters further, there was apparently some drama when they split the US into smaller associations, and people didn't want the mountains near them to go down in value.? Some associations managed to keep their points with the percentile bands reflecting the entire US, instead of just their association.? This was before my time, but I'm sure if you ask on the nasota list people would be happy to provide more information and/or re-litigate old arguments.
