Hello All!
I have a question:
How are the prizes calculated on the forums to determine who won what individually? Since the only totals given are cumulative totals, how is/does Golden Road.net break down the values of each prize? That is GREAT that you do that for us!
Regards,
Joe

You know, that’s a good question. Except on a few rare occasions, prices are given out to individual products: see every Item Up For Bids, multiprize game, car game, etc. Most of the time, if it’s a prize package in a fee game, Adam just treats it as one giant prize. In cases where an ARP isn’t given, like Master Key or Clock Game, Adam will try to find out if that prize has been offered by the show before (e.g. the robotic vacuum cleaners on the 2/10/23 Key playing). He doesn’t go back to past shows if a product appears later in the season though.
For CSS purposes, yeah, it’s mostly guesswork based on assumptions that might involve ARPs on manufacturers websites and such.

If the contestant who wins a prize (package) whose value wasn’t revealed also wins their showcase, then I also think Adam determines the value of the prizes by working backward from the contestant’s final total. At least, that’s how I would do it.
