I am definitely against the proposal to calculate the overall score by taking one result from each stage. It will be the same thing. Simply, those who haven't played all the stages, specifically stages 4 and 5, will have their results from only THREE stages counted, while those who have played all versions will have their results from FIVE stages counted. Obviously, their chances increase significantly, and therefore the number of contenders for the overall title decreases.
There is a nomination for the absolute champion! Here, you can win four stages in your favorite versions and quietly play a couple more, and you'll have a chance to climb to the top.

Kamikaze! You're not exactly a math whiz, so quickly estimate how many contenders will realistically be able to compete according to your proposal (considering eight stages and taking one result from each of the five stages for the overall title) and according to my proposal (considering only the six best results for calculations).

I recalculated, taking into account the elimination of the two worst results, and besides the fact that vbn moved to first place, there are no other significant changes!
