Points and Levels\nTo encourage participation and reward great answers, Yahoo! Answers has a system of points and levels. The number of points you get depends on the specific action you take. The points table below summarizes the point values for different actions. While you can't use points to buy or redeem anything, they do allow everyone to recognize how active and helpful you've been. (And they give you another excuse to brag to your friends.) \nPoints Table Action Points \nBegin participating on Yahoo!

The more points you accumulate, the higher your level. Yahoo! Answers recognizes your level achievements with our special brand of thank you's! \nThere's also a color associated with the levels. These colors will have more meaning as Yahoo! Answers rolls out new features in the coming weeks, and you'll see how "sharing what you know" and "discovering something new" can be fun and rewarding.

Big Willie,\n\nYour points total is presently 132 and you need 250 to move to level 2.  You need 118 to get to that level.  So, once you get another 118 points to bring your total to 250 you will advance to level 2.

Now you only need 19 points to get to level 2. If you pick me as best that is 3. So then either answer 8 questions or rate 16 and you'll be there. Good luck!

I am on level 6. It takes a long time but it was fun. Yes, I believe that their are greater responsibilities once you get off level 1. By now you are finding out if you enjoy helping others, and you should do so with out ridiculing people. Not everyone on the higher levels take their responsibilities serous but luckily that is only a few. Answer to the best of your abilities and you will move up to the higher levels in no time.

At first, don't shoot too high.  Build your "resume".  Allow yourself to coach at lower levels like junior high kids.  As you gain experience, always keep an eye out for job opportunities out there.  Don't be afraid to take chances and become a volunteer assistant coach (or what we call in the college level, a graduate assistant).  These are unpaid positions, but definitely will get you experience and gets your name out (networking).  Always display yourself in the best attitude.  The best method is word of mouth.  \nIt took me 10 years of coaching volleyball (I know it isn't basketball but it is still "coaching") before I made it to the level I wanted.  I started off playing.  I built my resume when I was playing.  I kept solid track of my record and abilities.  Teams want coaches who can play well or know the game.  I coached club ball for 10 years now.  I kept my eyes open and when a coaching position came up for the high school level, I applied.  It wasn't a power-house school, but an inner-city school with no budget.  Even though the job was hell, I stuck with it for the resume purpose.  I stayed there for two years or until I obtained my short-term goal of winning districts.  At that point,  I continued coaching club ball and keeping my eyes open.  Finally, a position opened up for the college level.  I applied and showed them that I coached 8 years of club (at the time I applied) and 2 years of high school.  I'm on my 2nd year of the college level and I reached my short-term goal.  \nSchools don't tend to hire someone who doesn't have much "coaching" experience.  Get some by coaching everywhere you get the chance.\nStick with it and always look forward.

On the next day try to answer as many question as you can. Because if you can get onto a higher level you will have the opportunity to answer more questions.

if you check out the particular rules governing points and levels, you'll see that the higher level you are, the more questions you are allowed to answer.  the highest levels have no limits.  :)  click on the blue number next to your level near the top of the answers page.

From what i see, it is like a game, you gamed up all the points.. put you on a higher level so you can game more; ask more questions and answer more; to gain even more points

Answer questions (2 points), rate answers or vote for best answers (1 point each), log on (1 point per day) and answer questions well (10 points per 'best answer'), and eventually you'll level up.  Think of it as an RPG for the mind ;)
