You should’ve put your predictions here sooner, as I indicated in the other location.
Tell you what, Dave, I’ll count your predictions for now, as I have verified the date / time you posted the predictions on the forum I run. From now on, I need it to be posted on GuysNation.com
you scored a 5 for Bragging Rights
Admittedly, I didn’t read your rules before posting here… but the competitor in me has to point out. You get over punished for picking the surivivors. I mean… You have a 1 in 7 chance of picking a survivor, IF You picked the right team.
Example: KO DAVE just says Smackdown. Gets his point. Doesn’t lose anything because he didn’t say “Big Show”, or someother Smackdown guy.
MZ, also picks Smackdown. He lists Edge a survivor, but rey. Why be punished for not listing rey?
Also why am I punished for listing Miz/Punk – I got punished by not getting the match correct.
I think if you’re doing partial points for guessing things like survivors correct/incorrect that has to start with “if you get the match right”. Me getting double punished for being wrong takes out any future reasoning for picking specifics like “surivivors”. I’d have been half a point better for just being vague and saying “Raw” – again look at MZ who actually got the Match AND a survivor, but is awarded an equal amount of points as KO who was more vague … and yes I realize how ludicrous this argument is and can become, but I was thinking about it and with Surivivor Series being NEXT I think the scoring needs some tweaking.
Great point. I’ll have to consider the options and see what shakes out, because MZ should be rewarded for getting the match and one of the survivors, not punished for getting one wrong.
I do want to make sure that someone doesn’t just pick the winning side and list all the people as survivors, because that would take the creativity out of it. Maybe a system where you get an extra .25 for each survivor you pick correctly, but you lose .5 for each additional person you put in there who didn’t make it.
So if you said “Smackdown – Edge, Rey, ADR”, then you’d end up with 1 point for the winner, but you’d break even on the survivors.
Very tricky in deed.
1 in 7 chance of picking a survivor if there is a “sole survivor” … let alone the mathematical possibilities if there are 2 or 3 survivors.
