    Might of missed this in the 25668432467 rule/change posts but do we have a sleaze mileage?

    Oh and FS2020 T-900

    First mile still nets you most points per mile, so technically sleaze mileage would remain the same.

    I would also point out that the concept of a sleaze ride has gotten a bit mangled this year. In prior years, riding one mile got you 11 points, but each subsequent mile was only 1 point. This year, riding one mile gets you twenty points, the second mile gets you 9 points, the third 8, etc. Only at 10 and above miles do you get down to 1 point per mile. It will be interesting to see whether people who did those 1.1 mile sleaze rides in past years (because that produced the maximum points per mile) will be motivated to do longer minimum rides this year.

    Yes, perhaps a new category will emerge the megamile aka 10 miles. Happy new year !

    I think this thread may have led to the emergence of a new FS hashtag #FSmegamile

    Pointless prize category sponsor anyone???

    Technically a “decasleaze.”

    I upped my sleaze minimum. Need to stay solidly mid-pack!

    I think the ultimate individual “winner” of FS2020 is he or she who has the most points per mile AND rides every day.

    Interesting. So you are saying that the person that rides the most wins? Unamerican. We all are winners!!!

    We have a leaderboard that can be used for that!

    https://freezingsaddles.org/pointless/points_per_mile

    Nobody has offered to sponsor a pointless prize for this leaderboard this year – I won the “most efficient” prize my first year riding (2017)!

    Nope, it’s the other way around. The person who rides every day, but has the fewest miles, wins the points per mile contest. For example, if someone rides exactly one mile every day, they get 20 points per mile. If they ride two miles per day, they get only 14.5 points per mile. (Ten points for each day, plus ten points for the first mile, plus nine points for the second mile=29 points, divided by two miles=14.5 points per mile.)

    The way this contest is structured, maybe we’re not all winners, but a substantial portion of us are winners of something.
