In season board member games

[azgreg]

If there is interest I will run the survival pool again. however, I would like to do some game where we can keep more members involved the entire year. I'm thinking about a game I've seen on another board. Score Prediction Challenge. Something in the way of predicting both scores and receiving points based on accuracy. I'm thinking everyone starts with zero points. Predict the score and receive points based off the difference. For example: if you pick the Cat's to beat the Bruins 28-24 and the Cat's win 35-17 you would receive a score of 14 points (7 point difference on both scores. You would then get a 5 point bonus for picking the winner for a score of 9. The lowest score at the end of the season wins. Any other ideas?

Sounds interesting. I'm interested in both, but don't have any suggestions.

So if you pick the Cats to win 28-24 and they win 26-24, do you get 2 points? -2 points? Before the +5 obviously.

If the Cats lose 28-24, do you lose 8 points? (4 off on both teams) Or do you get 0? (the cats -4 and other team +4 cancel out)

I'm pretty slow when it comes to this stuff lol.

2 points (score differential) minus 5 (bonus) for a score of -3.

If the Cats lose 28-24, do you lose 8 points? (4 off on both teams) Or do you get 0? (the cats -4 and other team +4 cancel out)

8 points (score differential, no ±), no bonus for a score of 8.

Hmm. I guess I will have to see it in action to fully understand.

So if you guess we win 100-0 and it ends up being 28-24 Cats, what would the points be like?

Wow okay I missed a very important part of the OP and didn't realize lowest score wins. It all makes sense now.

[azthrillhouse]

I like whichever one lets you make your pick with boobs. That one.
