Do not edit your post after it is submitted or it will be disqualified. Tie-breakers are determined by the order of entry (earlier wins), and post-edit time stamps complicate that process. If you change your mind about your prediction, submit a new post, and your previous post(s) will be removed.
5. Do not enter conversational posts on this thread, they will be removed.
ENTRY SCORING AND WINNER SELECTION:
The differences between the actual and predicted scores of each team are combined for your score. A lower number is better, and a perfect prediction gives a score of 0. The earliest entry with the best score is the Winner. Later entries with the same score are Co-Winners but will not receive a prize. 2nd place entries are awarded "2nd Team", 3rd place entries are awarded "Scout Team", and 4th place entries are awarded "Water Boy" status.
SCORING EXAMPLE:
Predicted final scores:
NU 56 /
WYO 21
Actual final score:
NU 51 /
WYO 38
WYO difference:
21 - 38 = -17
Absolute value of differences, combined: |
5| + |
-17| =
22
Prediction score:
22
PRIZE AND FINAL RESULTS:
The thread will be updated as often a possible, likely 2 to 3 times per week.
Results of this contest will be posted on the BBS as soon as possible and practical following the conclusion of the game.
