I’m replacing an old contest system on my site with NorrCompetition and would like to replicate the same point-based voting system I used previously.

To make voting more interesting, users had to award 5 points to their 1st place, 3 points to their 2nd place, and 1 point to their 3rd place. This approach often produced interesting results, especially when there were only a few entries or voters.

It appears that assigning 5/3/1 points is not possible within NorrCompetition by default.

My question is: would it be difficult to achieve this through custom development, so that the contest settings include an option to choose between the default voting method and a 5/3/1 point system?

Alternatively, it seems theoretically possible to simulate a 5/3/1 system within the current setup by allowing users a total of 9 votes per contest and 5 votes per entry (if this setting applies per user giving the votes).

However, when I try this, the system does not allow me to cast multiple votes on the same entry in quick succession.

Is this expected 

Yes, this would be awesome and a great addition.

As explained above, according to the settings, it should already be possible to vote 5/3/1, but something seems to prevent me from voting five times in a row for the same entry.

I think this is because of the vote frequency set under Entry Voting Options.

Under Contest Voting Options it’s possible to set the voting frequency to No limit, but this isn’t available under the Entry Voting Options setting. It can only be set to once an hour, which means a user is allowed to vote five times in a row but has to wait an hour between each vote. That seems a bit much, and most voters probably wouldn’t come back to do this.

Would it be possible to also have the "No Limit" option at the Entry Voting Options settings somehow?

If I’m correct, this should allow users to vote five times in a row with just a second between votes.

 

Ah, ok, I see now that it’s possible, but only when the user refreshes the page. It probably needs AJAX to allow multiple votes on the same item without refreshing the page. Or is there perhaps another way to achieve this?
