The Top Ten - Achieving a Fair and Representative System The Top Ten chart achieves a fair and representative chart system for members. In the Top Ten, five reviews is the minimum amount required to enter and start to assess a book’s representative rating. Members are also required to gain one reading credit per 7 days once they enter the Top Ten. This ensures that book chapters continue to get a representative amount of reviews each. While developing the site, we and many members were keen that books should all keep to the one credit a week rule so that each Top Ten member continues to get a representative amount of reviews, so this rule was automated. We also introduced the ‘no new entries in the last 7 days of a month’ rule as we and many members were keen on books not leaping in at the last moment against books that had substantially more reviews. This, again, helps keep the chart fair. Each of these rules, designed as a representative system for members, means that books must gain 5 reviews and have attached 1 credit within the last seven days to enter the Top Ten when the nightly ratings are calculated. A book will enter the Top Ten because it is the next highest rated that also meets the 5 review and reading credit rule. It is important to remember that if it leaves the Top Ten because of new ratings it will be positioned below all chapters that are higher rated. This is an important and necessary part of the system, which, for example, prevents books with three reviews, where members are choosing not to get more reviews, rating higher in the Top Ten against books which are meeting the credit rules and thus gaining many more representative reviews. By working this way, the system also recognises the next highest rated book that keeps to the rules and maintains consistent high ratings over a sustained period of time. Thus the system gives such books opportunitys to qualify for the Best Sellers Chart through the ‘longevity in Top Ten’ rules. See Top Ten rules. An example of how the system works in practice to achieve fairness and representative ratings: On March 1st, books 11 and 12 are very highly rated with 3 reviews, indicating they may have very good potential. They attached a reading credit the day before but have not yet met the minimum five reviews rules to qualify for the Top Ten. These books may be initially higher rated than current Top Ten books but need to meet the minimum five review rules which is the Top Ten qualifying rule required to start to assess a representative rating in the Top Ten. Books 13 to 14, on the same day, have met the 5 review rules but have not attached a reading credit within the last 7 days. These books may also be higher rated than current Top Ten books, but have not passed the Top Ten rule of attaching a reading credit in the last 7 days. This, as mentioned, is necessary for the Top Ten so that each book continues to get a representative amount of reviews over each month. This was automated as we and members were keen that each book should continue to get a representative amount of reviews. Books 15 to 19 on the same day similarly don’t qualify for the Top Ten because of the five review minimum and/or reading credit requirement. Book 20 is the next highest rated book that qualifies for the Top Ten as it has five reviews and meets the reading credit attached in the last 7 days rule. It enters above the books that don’t meet the rules at position number ten. This recognizes the many books which keep to the rules and maintain consistent high ratings over a sustained period of time. Thus the system, over time, gives such books opportunitys to qualify for the Best Sellers Chart through the ‘longevity in Top Ten’ rules. Taking this chart scenario further, on the same day, book 11 gains the minimum 5 reviews to enter the top ten and attaches a reading credit. It is still very highly rated and meets the rules now so it qualifies for the Top Ten on the nightly ratings. It can enter the Top Ten at any level depending on its score level. It will then have to gain one credit every seven days so that it will continue to get a representative range of reviews over the month to see if it maintains a consistent score. This is a fair and representative system. Book 10, on that day, is relegated by book 11’s entry. It drops back to number 20 past all the higher rated books in positions 11 to 19, as outside of the Top Ten, the Top Ten rules are not applicable. This is because it is not as highly rated as books 11 to 19, and because chart positions 11 to 30 are designed for accessibility and as a development zone, where members can get reviews and develop and not be tied to the one credit every seven days rules if they wish. At the same time, however, book 20’s sustained performance has been recognized and it has clocked up another day in the Top Ten. This recognizes books with a sustained high score over time. It may possibly enter the Top Ten as decribed above again, and continue to add to its qualifying days for the Best Sellers Chart. Book chapters highly rated by members, with sustained performance in the Top Ten, such as Snagglefoot and The Blue Dress, have already benefited from this system and entered the Best Sellers Chart. This is as fair and representative a system as we can make it for all books.
