(Yet another Leader board Question)

Yes I know it's becoming an annoying topic but I just had an interesting idea and thought I'd put it out there and see what others thought of it. Yes I know the LB shouldn't be a hot topic, it should be about having fun playing the game, but I do find the idea of a LB motivating to some extent. If someone has already suggested this then sorry for the repeat. It seems some people like the old leader board and some like the new leader board. One thing I don't think you can argue with is that the new leader board does solve the problem of uploading tones of crappy recordings just to advance on the LB. However others have pointed out, and I think it's a good point, that the current Olympic style leader board isn't as fair to those who have say 2 1st place recordings and 50 2nd place ones as opposed to someone who has just 3 1st place recordings. So what about the idea of combining the two LB systems. You would have a point system like the old LB but only the top 3 scores would count. So for example you would get 100points for 1st place 50 for 2nd 20 for 3rd and 0 for anything else, this is just an example.

What do you think crappy idea or good idea?
