Guess the Crowd 2013-2014 proposals.
« on: May 15, 2013, 07:43:00 PM »
I'm a bit concerned about the current 11 for exact being too many points. It could move a team a ridiculous number of places up the league. Also late guessers, like myself, having an advantage over those who post early.
These are my proposals. Feel free to comment.

10 - Exact (posted at least 7 days before the match)
7 - Exact (posted less than 7 days before the match)
6 - Up to and including 10 off.
5 - Up to and including 50 off.
4 - Up to and including 100 off.
3 - Up to and including 500 off.
2 - Up to and including 1000 off.
1 - More than 1000 off with submitted guess.

I think we need an incentive for early guesses so that is what I have proposed. We never really know the capacity, so I suggest we drop it. Everyone has the same chance, so, with the incentive for early guesses, it should not be too bad.

I'll go with that.
To be honest I'd go with anything, you run the competition in your own time, we all love it, make up the rules how you want I say!

Happy with that, but would prefer 8 points instead of 7.

Looks fine to me Dave. I think 10 for hitting an ace is ok. That deserves special points .
