Otherwise, calculate Range, Closure, Intercept relative to... ??? What?
Days until they reach the position the show belongs in based on Weekly average votes per day?
Days until their next expected position change?

So once that hurdle is crossed, I'm thinking of posting the stats for the top 10 VOTE Getting shows (Firefly, Bonanza, Xena, BSG, XFiles, Gunsmoke, Lexx, Buffy, Ponderosa, Farscape), regardless of current position in the standings. This way we'll all be able to see the "Serious" players, and know if anyone is coming for us.

Ok, but if you use an average that includes the time span of House MD, you will find that show is on it. They are busting along at about 200 votes a day. The other problem is what will be the criteria to be on that top10 list... single day? Rolling weekly average? Monthly average? I think a rolling 2 week average would be good; provide enough stability shows won't be constantly popping in and out of the group, but dynamic enough we'll easily see any show before it is a real threat to Firefly's position. You might find at times it is simplest to do perhaps 11 or 12 shows in the top list of this sort; but if your macros are set to handle the flux in and out of the group, don't sweat it. Personally every time a show goes in or out of my list I have to tweak the formulas, so I hate flux.

Otherwise, I don't have much to say beyond "go for it."
