IntroThe biggest issue with Sports Genius isn't a lack of content to annotate - it's a lack of annotations. Some sports receive more attention than others and that's okay, but we still want to grow Sports Genius and make it a top place on the web for sports content.

An easy solution for the time being is to reward users who annotate Sports with IQ bonuses for their time. Annotating Sports is different from annotating Rap; you rely on your knowledge of the game more than your reference knowledge. Our friends at Screen Genius instituted a similar project for scripts, so mad props to them for inspiring this project.How much IQ?Meme: +100 IQ per 6 annotations
Off-Site: +100 IQ per 4 annotations
Everything Else: +50 IQ per 6 annotations
Forum Bonus: +50 IQ per 5 discussions

There is a limit on the amount of bonus IQ you can receive per month. You can annotate 10 x's with the correct number of annotations per x for your maximum reward. For the Forum Bonus, there is a max of 150 IQ per month for 15 total discussions. Overall, there's a maximum of 2,650 IQ per month. You're encouraged to annotate beyond the maximum - they just won't count for an IQ bonus. Remember: you can create pages to annotate!Annotation StandardsIf you're unfamiliar with Genius annotation standards, take a look at the general Contributor Guidelines as well as the Sports-specific guidelines. As long as your annotations follow the guidelines, you'll receive your IQ. If not, MrXercules will reach out to you via PM and help you get your annotations to IQ bonus level.Pages• May 2015
