I want to find out what the quantity or percentages of covers that make the cut with each progressive day in the BBA voting period are. It's a mystery I'd like to see become transparent.
I'm sure a clever person could take a snapshot of the in-week BBA leaderboard and see the covers no longer moving up the ladder. For those rankings, those are the covers that are frozen in time until the current BBA week ends.
The only days I know for certain is TOP 100 final day, Sunday, and beginning day Monday everyone is theoretically in it.
- BEGIN OF DAY 1 - MONDAY - Everyone is in it
- BEGIN OF DAY 2 - TUESDAY - Who knows ??
- BEGIN OF DAY 3 - WEDNESDAY - Who knows ??
- BEGIN OF DAY 4 - THURSDAY - Who knows ??
- BEGIN OF DAY 5 - FRIDAY - Who knows ??
- BEGIN OF DAY 6 - SATURDAY - Who knows?
- BEGIN OF DAY 7 (Final Day) Sunday - TOP 100
- For any given studio that has a single cover still standing on the final day, the chance that cover comes up for vote is 1 in 50.
- If a studio has 10 covers in the TOP 100 on FINAL DAY, the chance of that cover coming up for vote is 1 in 5.
- If they have all 30 members with covers in the TOP 100 (a rare feat I'm sure), the chance increases to 1 every 1.6 times.
Looking at the 1 in 5 ratio (10 in the Top 100), a diamond-spending studio would only have to try 4x to assuredly see one of their covers come up (on average). 1 vote can go along way in buying a champion.
