Hello everybody, and welcome to my latest forum game, Half the Average!
Gameplay
This is a competition that will be conducted in rounds. Each round, every player will PM me a number between 1 and 100. At the end of the round, I will calculate the average of all the numbers that have been submitted (Note: If a player does not submit a number for a particular round, their submission will be 100). I then take half of that average, rounded (hence the name of the game) and use that to calculate player scores for each round.
Scoring
If a player’s submission is below half of the average submission for that round, they are automatically eliminated. For everyone else, their score is calculated by taking the number they submitted and subtracting half of the average submission for the round. A player is eliminated if their total score exceeds 100 points. The last player left in the game who has not submitted a number below half the average or exceeded 100 points will win the game (in the event that all players remaining are eliminated in the same round, that round will be redone with all those players staying in the game).
Example Round
Here is an example of scoring with 5 players.
Player 1 submits 15.
Player 2 submits 42.
Player 3 submits 69.
Player 4 submits 39.
Player 5 fails to submit (counted as 100).
The average submission is 53, half of which is 26.5 (rounded to 27).
So the scores for this round would be:
Player 1: Eliminated (submitted below half the average)
Player 2: 15
Player 3: 42
Player 4: 12
Player 5: 73
Other
I will be accepting up to 15 players for this game. The deadline for signups will be May 21 @ 11:00 AM CDT/GMT-5. Each round will last 48 hours, and results will be posted as soon as possible after the deadline for a round has passed.

You die if your score reaches 100. You probably missed something in the OP.
