disagree. The list is so long that most people don't look at the list. They just start scrolling and realize it is huge. Now if they were able to start with it that way, the same thing would happen, but then they would say, hmm, maybe let me look at the mass shootings with at least one death, and they would go "wow, look at that" then they would be like what about more than 1, what about 3, etc. and in general interact with it more than just dang, too long of list.

Some things to note:

A score of 8 is impossible to get in the current format. I put that 0 percent of 8 advance, but it really could be any number because 0 have ever scored that.

It is impossible to advance to the next round with a score of 0, 1

It is possible to advance with a score of 2, but it has never happened.

It is possible to advance with a score of 3, but it has only happened 1 time

It is possible to not advance with a score of 5 or 6, but this has never happened so far. Every score above 5 has advanced.

A score of 7 or above guarantees advancement to the next round.

Edit: I had erroneously stated that a score of 2 meant you couldn't advance, but that is not correct, it is possible (though never happened) to advance with a point total of 2.

Edit 2: Also to be clear, this is point total, not points in game. 3 points are awarded for a win, 1 for a tie. I should have used points as opposed to score, my bad!
