I am kinda tempted to run a contest to show my support for the territory, though my wife may kill me for taking on additional activities. But hey, my 3 fantasy leagues are over now lol
USA vs the World 26 will start this week. If you want to do something for the playoffs that’s great. If you don’t have the time for it, I can manage it. Not a problem.
Here's what I'm thinking.
- 1k sats buy in
- Wild Card Round - pick winners of each game, each is worth 1 point
- Divisional Round - pick winners of each game, each is worth 2 points
- Conference Championship round - pick winners of each game, each is worth 4 points
- Super Bowl - pick winner, worth 8 points
Most points at the end wins the entire pot.
Tie breaker: Whoever had the most correct picks throughout the contest
Second tie breaker: Whoever got their super bowl pick in first
Picks for all games of a round must be in before the first game of the corresponding round starts.
What do you think?
Edit: Maybe the points should increase by 1 each round, not double? so 1, 2, 3, 4 instead of 1, 2, 4, 8?
I think most correct picks and most points are too highly correlated. With the increase of points each round you could have one player get the same amount of points as another but less games correct which solves a 2 way tie but if there are multiple people tied there is a good chance that 2 of them have gotten the same amount of games correct.
Tiebreakers could just be some arbitrary stats from the Super Bowl- points, yards, touchdowns etc. That would also make it kind of fun if we had numerous people tied heading into the Super Bowl.
Any other feedback? Do you think 1, 2, 4, 8 is good compared to 1, 2, 3, 4?
I'll prepare a post to make later today/tonight with your feedback
Wildcard round- 6 games (6 possible points or 6 possible points)
Divisional round- 4 games (8 possible points or 8 possible points)
Conference round- 2 games (8 possible points or 6 possible points)
SB- 1 game (8 possible points or 4 possible points)
I like 1, 2, 4, 8 better.
Fair enough! you are the contest expert haha
I thought maybe like a points challenge that spans every round maybe? Haven’t thought much yet
