Theory on how the Stadium is judged

[Elektra]

Ganz says Academy Classes improve your Chances of winning. I tend to believe that and have an idea on how it may factor in.

When you enter a competition (open for example) you get a random number. Either 1-5000 or 1-number of entrants. Subtracted from that number is Academy Experience. My guess is that the experience is figured by the number of levels or multiplication of the number of levels in a particular class. I also don't think the Class is the one use for gaining pro access in the competition or all your Classes. If it were I'd expect to see more of the same people in the top 10 in Cooking & Beauty.

If your random number - level is less than 11 your pet goes into a finalist pool. From there the top 10 are randomly picked. This would also explain why sometimes you see a competition end without all 10 places. In those case less than 10 people made it to the finalist pool.

Just a theory though

That's a very interesting theory.

I also believe letters may influence it. Do you see some days pets winning w/ the same names? Lots of pricess, cotton candy, etc. I've also wondered if the pet type influences the outcome. I see a lot of retired, season, & POTM pets. but who knows?
