[QUOTE="Voyageur, post: 943613, member: 17953"] After this round, we need "tie-breaker stuff" to get separation in scores. Maybe something like not only predicting winners, but adding or subtracting points based on how close we are to picking the actual score. Count the difference on both winner and loser. Let's say you pick the game at 27-24, and the final score was 31-20, but you got the winner right. Your differential would be 4 on the winning score, and 4 on the losing score, so a differential of 8 points. If the next person picks it at 27-10, as an example, they would be 4 off, and 10 off, for a total of 14. Let's say the next person picks it 30-23. They would be off by 1, and 3, for a total of 4. They would have the best prediction. Give points based on rank. Giving additional points out based on closest to actual scores. Just an example: Probably the top 6 for points? 1st: 50 - differential 4 = 46 2nd 45 - differential 8 = 37 3rd 40 - differential 14 = 26 4th 35 - differential 5th 30 - differential 6th 25 - differential It's not as complicated as it sounds, and it would help to create some separation the rest of the way, with only three games on tap after this coming weekend. Just a though, nothing more. I'd only go to six spots, and give points for everyone tied at that point for the day. Use the format that they use for golf. All ties at the bottom of the cut off for points. [/QUOTE]
