Or you could just do one, and then SAY the other one is a DNF even you you never tried it...

I also know that there are programming languages (Python being one of them) that can access .xls files.
Craig: If 50 people participate in 3x3x3 and you end up as nr. 10 and Harris as nr. 1 you will only be 9 points behind him. Just by competing in 5x5x5_bf you will beat him. If you look at the results from last year you will see that people that participate in lots of events are high in the overall rankings, not people that just do 1 event.Also, what about applying this to real competitions, so that they can give out an award, "Best Cuber" or something...that way it awards people who do ALL events...As opposed to someone who does JUST 3x3, and is really good at it *cough* Harris *cough*.
At Canadian Competitions, Harris may come first, and win say...50 points, plus the participation, and then I may go and compete in EVERY event, and come say...3rd in each one (hypothetically) So that would be all the participation points...Maybe 30 in total based on what you said...And then the award points, but not all events have a lot of people...so I may only end up with 49 points for coming in 3rd in every event except the 3x3...And so I wouldn't be the best all around cuber, Harris would be, even though I do a lot more than him, and am fairly successful at it. It just *seems* faulty in a way.

We haven't decided on anything yet, but it looks like 3c is going to be the winner.So what did we decide on? The participation points as laid out in the original post, with the bonus of having last place get 1 point, and every place above that get 1 more, and is there a minimum?
I am thinking about giving "partial participation points" though:
For 4x4x4_bf and 5x5x5_bf I might give participation points even if you just do 1 cube (if 3 cubes give you 10 points 1 cube would give you 3 points)
