EXPERIMENT: The Weekly Recap - A legend

For Season 40, I am going to try a new concept. Every Saturday, I will post a table showing that week's shows and the performance for the games.

LEGEND:

Show #/Airdate: Straightforward. Just the production number of the episode, and the date it aired. The production number is hyperlinked to the show recap. An asterisk (*) by the production number represents a Couples' Price show. Models will be represented by the first letter of their first name, in order of appearance, on the third line.

Rounds: Each round cell is divided into two row cells.
The top cell has the player that won the pricing game. The BG color represents their podium. Names in capital letters are First Four contestants.
If an asterisk (*) appears by their name, then they had an exacta on the pricing game and won the $500 bonus.

The bottom cell is the pricing game results. The name of the pricing game is in a smaller font for size considerations.
  The dollar amount is the total money won by the player between the IUFB and the pricing game. A game that was bailed out will be noted with an asterisk (*).
The color code for the backgrounds are as follows:
RED: A single-chance game that was lost, or a multi-chance or multi-prize game that suffered a wipeout.
ORANGE: A multi-prize or cash game that was not won or was bailed out, winning $1,000 or less in cash and/or prizes.
YELLOW: A multi-prize or cash game that was not won or was bailed out, winning more than $1,000 but less than $10,000 in cash and/or prizes.
LIGHT GREEN: A multi-prize or cash game that was not won or was bailed out, winning at least $10,000 in cash and/or prizes. (This is the realm of Punch a Bunch, Plinko and Pay the Rent.)
DARK GREEN: Any game where the highest possible prize was won.

SCSD: This is further subdivided into three columns. The cells represent the players, and are in play order.
The winner receives a dark green background and a check mark. "O" represents a player that went over.
A background color of orange represents a player that went to at least one tiebreaker, but lost.
  An asterisk (*) represents a spin that did not go all the way around (there may be more than one for a player), and a carat (^) represents a wheelie.
If a number is in the SCSD cell, that means the player had a bonus hit. The number will represent how much money they won, in thousands of dollars. A check mark will still denote who won the showdown.

CNAOS: Contestants not appearing on stage will have their own cell, in left-to-right order. If a First Four contestant failed to make it on-stage, they will be bolded and in caps.

SHOWCASES: Also subdivided into two cells. For each showcase, the left cell will have the player name and their showcase bid, while the right cell shows the ARP and the difference, unless they are over.
The winner's difference cell will have a dark green background. If they get a Double Showcase Win, the cell will be soft blue, and the number of the DSW for that season will be noted.
In case of a Double Overbid, the entire set of cells for the showcases will have a red background, and all text will be white.

Very interesting, looking forward to it.

[therealcu2010]

I like it...but is there any way to make the table not as wide? As it is, it's too wide for my screen...

[Macsen]

It's too wide for my screen too. And my screen is 1080p. The only way would be to make it a graphic, but doing it up in HTML takes less space. I will consider it.

In the meantime, that's why having a scroll wheel on your mouse is useful. Hold it down over the table and move the mouse right to see more.

[brosa0]

It's a very nice concept but there are way too many colours in the table to be able to make much sense of it.   Perhaps have the light green for any win, or $10,000+ win on a cash game.   Orange for bailout, Red for loss.  Drop the dark green and yellow.


Perhaps the scrolling issue could be solved by switching the axis around - Show dates along the top and rounds down the side.

[Wayoshi]

Too extraneous. Scorpz does relevant week-by-week stats already, and too many exact details people would only want to know looking at the single recaps.

[GSB92]

I agree with Wayoshi. It's a little too cramped and the colors could give you a headache. If you spaced the episodes out, then maybe it might work

[Flerbert419]

I admire the creativity and effort you have shown in coming up with this concept.

Unfortunately, in my opinion the table doesn't really add much to the data collection throughout the season.

All of the detailed information shown is contained in the recaps and just redisplayed here in a colorful format.

For me, this is something that I wouldn't use on a weekly basis.  However, others might find it quite helpful in tracking the show.

[thepriceis_J]

I'd simplify it to be similar to your Rerun Guide. A link to the episode, vitals, and notable moments. I'd also add the biggest winner of each week (similar to Scorpz) and a basic list of all the games played (date included) and the result. I like the concept.
