Roles could receive up to 10.0 and then had points removed from their score:

Final Score = Unadjusted Score - (((Character Level/13.5)+1) - # of Role Entries)

So a level 27 character could have 3 role chapters before it started negatively affecting her score.



I created the formula before the contest and probably would not make it so punishing to long roles in a true contest. However, this one was supposed to reward concise writing. I do feel like mid-range characters got the better end of the bargain, but I think that's due to people entering their "starter" roles and then powering to hero.
