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.
I can see where this could get quite involved--I was keeping it simple. But, by mduell's 2 formulae, I'd be either

175, using

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

or

7,500, using

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

Mikerascan would come in at 5030 or 83,550.

I think a better weighted score might be to simply add up the percentages that you exceeded the 1K limit by for each criterion--so for me it's projected to be 0.075% (PQM) + 0.10% (PQD), totaling 0.175%. Less than 2/10ths of a percent in excess seems like a pretty close shave!
