My Xcess number is projected to be 87. Mikerascan is projected to be 5,015.

And to think, one year not so long ago I had >250,000 PQM.
(2017 final PQM-100,000) + (100/12) * (2017 final PQD-12,000) = Xcess

is more reasonable IMO given the order of magnitude difference in requirements. Maybe even

(2017 final PQM-100,000) * (100/12) * (2017 final PQD-12,000) = Xcess

to really reward people who get close on both.
