We did a version for this last year on the beta site, so I'll recap the rules and structure.
1. You have to do every team. No picking just relevant teams, bad teams, or your team and it's rivals. All 30 teams if you want in.
2. Post yours in the following format:
Rosez
Atlanta 44-38
Boston 50-32
etc.
I'm making you type in your name because it's going to work better with an SPSS formula I've got for this.
3. There is no punishment for choosing 1400 total wins instead of 1230. If you want to be off a bit that's your prerogative.
4. The scoring will be different than last year's format of whatever 寂しいマグナエクス went with. We're not doing it by average off, because that's dumb. We're not even doing it with how I did it last year, on the 10 point scale. Instead the system is going to be more similar in nature to the structure of the annual playoff game, and combining it with the 1-10 scale. Every person will select up to five (5) bold picks, and those are worth double.
So using the Atlanta prediction I posted, say I bold Atlanta at 44, if they win 43, 44, or 45 games I get double the points so instead of 9-10 you can get 18 or 20 respectively. But this only occurs if you're within two games of the actual W/L record. There is no penalty for guessing wrong on your bold picks. They'll still be worth 0 points if you're off by more than 10.
5. You have until Halloween to get your picks in.
6. You may post your picks here or PM me, but once November 1st hits, I'm making the sheet public.
7. There is a special prize for the winner, and whoever has the least amount of points at the end of the season will also be subjected to having their avy changed for the entire summer.
8. The loser's avy will be voted on by the board. There's going to be a nice submissions thread, followed by a public poll which will be open for the first round of the playoffs. After the Finals are over the loser has to change their avy until the first game next season.
9.Questions, comments, and brickbats can be directed at me via message or OutRosez.
Finally, feel free to offer suggestions on the scoring format, but I really like the idea of the bold picks. However, if you guys really want it changed feel free to make suggestions and if they gain momentum I'll adjust the system.
