Let's Play a Game for Convo Saturday (Challenge)
Posted: Mon Mar 05, 2018 10:14 am
Just to spice up Convo Saturday lets play a game. You need to pick the winner of each game, and then by how many points that team will win. You will get +20 points just for picking the team correctly. Then, any points you were off in the prediction will be deducted. ALSO, if you pick the wrong winner, you're automatically deducted -20 points and the "margin" you chose doesn't matter because it won't be counted.
For example.. First game you pick Coal Grove by 10... Coal Grove wins by 7... You get +20 for the win... and then -3 for missing the total by 3 points (10-7=3) --- you receive 17 points total for that game. If you picked Coal Grove by 4 and they win by 7, you would receive 17 points total for that game just as you would if you picked them 3 points over.
This makes it much more challenging because picking each winner is obviously crucial but you have to guess the winning margin somewhat in the ball park otherwise you will lose even if you pick the correct winner.
Rules:
- Deadline is Saturday, March 10th at noon. NO EXCEPTIONS!
- You must pick the winning team of each of the 4 games, and by how many points that team will win by.
- +20 for picking the correct winner. -20 for picking the incorrect winner. Points then are deducted by how close you were to the actual winning margin. So the closer you are to the margin, the less points are deducted, and the higher chance you have at winning.
- I will count the scores up and post the winner sometime on Monday, March 12th.
I have nothing to offer the winner, but perhaps mattash could throw in a SEOPS shirt?
GAMES:
12:00 - South Webster vs. Coal Grove
2:00 - Peebles vs. Green
6:00 - Wheelersburg vs. Piketon
8:00 - Oak Hill vs Eastern Pike
