I think the score tracker could be advertised better. Its a really good tool, only practically nobody uses it. Especially for study events.

I agree.

I didn't even know it existed until it was mentioned. I have almost 200 posts. It definitely needs more advertising.

Forgive me of my ignorance, but what is a karma system? Karma is a Hindu/Buddhist belief, but still I don't get it.

When will the switchover take place? Right after nationals ends, or when the rules come out?

Last year it happened in August.

Its a system of reputation points you can get a up vote if you post good info or a down vote if it is bad info

Most likely gradually over the summer for small things (wiki clean up and what not)
As soon as a official list comes out for event topics

I actually think that the score tracker would be much better if it were only building events. The problems with study events on there is that-
A- You rarely get your score back for study events
B- If you do, it means nothing to others since all tests are different

Well if we could link the scoretracker to the test exchange there is some good potential for usefulness in study events.

Maybe for study events you could post percentages? Nearly all tests have a different amount of points; it would just take some simple mental math by the user and we're all on even ground. I like starpug's idea of linking the score tracker to the test exchange.

I don't like the idea of karma
