Yesterday I shared how the P-Score could have changed the results of the women’s leaderboard at the 2024 Rogue Invitational. Then I posted about it on Instagram…and people got all fired up.
Go check out the comments…
Engagement on social media is good.
Ok, now onto the men. First, a quick refresher on P-Score. The intent behind P-Score is to reward excellent performances and penalize those who fall well off the pace.
Here’s a quick graphic that explains how it works:
Ok, ok…NOW it’s time to look at the men’s leaderboard and the potential P-Score impacts.
The Podium
Just like the women, the men’s podium would have a change for 3rd place (sorry, Hopper). While Jeff Adler would still win under P-Score and Brent Fikowski would still be in 2nd place, Jayson Hopper would drop from 3rd place to 6th place!
Ricky Garard, who took 4th, would STAY in 4th. Which means that Dallin Pepper would leap frog from 5th to 3rd if P-Score had been utilized.
Why did Hopper drop so much? Well, in Event 1, Hopper’s P-Score was 63.50 points versus the 90 points he received with the standard scoring. On top of that, E4 where Hopper took 19th and earned 10 points he would have LOST 63.12 points using P-Score.
-56,234.67 Points
The title of this section, -56,234.67 points, is the point total that Giorgos Karavis would have if P-Score would have been utilized. Karavis finished in last place at Rogue.
However, the extent of his finish can really be seen when looking at the P-Score. In five of the nine events Karavis lost points.
On the pegboard event, Karavis completed one rep, which was half of one traverse on the sideways pegboard. Every other athlete finished the workout under the time cap. Athletes who finished the event averaged between 3-5 seconds per repetition. It took Karavis 1,440 seconds to earn one rep.
As such, Karavis’ score on E7 was -56,100.32 points. It is by far the worse score using P-Score I have ever seen.
Minor Movement
Outside of Pepper jumping onto the leaderboard, the rest of the movement on the leaderboard utilizing P-Score was not drastic. There were some athletes who moved up a few spots, but not to the extent that was seen on the women’s side.
Here’s a look at the P-Score leaderboard compared to the official Rogue standings:
