chasmmi Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 (edited) Okay, have had this idea in my head for a while and thought I would finally post it and see if there is the interest to actually try it.The structure is quite simple. It is a league where each week players compete against one other player within the league until everybody has played everybody once. So if there were an 8 man league for example then the season would last 7 weeks. (plus play offs if I include them)(For the sake of simplicity I will continue using a theoretical league of 4 players: A, B, C and D.)Each week consists of 5 questions about box office that must be predicted (via PM) by all players before a set deadline. If you beat your opponent for that week you score 3 points, if you lose you score 0 and if there is a tie both players score 1.Final league placings will be decided based on these points. I will go into detail on scoring in the next post so not to clutter this one too much for the uninterested.Final Confirmed Entry ListFilmsCHDGodzillaAlisson23King KongRuthieGoffeBlankmentsTelemachosGrim22FilmovieBaumerTawasalGlass FairyMahnamahna Edited December 10, 2013 by chasmmi 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chasmmi Posted August 28, 2013 Author Share Posted August 28, 2013 (edited) So how does scoring work... Well lets say that in week 1, A is against B and C is against D. The questions are: (real questions will be more varied) 1) Predict the 3 day weekend for Avengers 2) Predict the 3 day weekend for Batman 3) Predict the 3 day weekend for Scooby Dooo 4) Predict the 3 day weekend for Megatron 5) Predict the 3 day weekend for Zombies vs Vampires 3: This time it's personal. [*]Scoring higher than the opponent on any given question will score you 1 goal [*]Scoring higher than 80% on any given question will score you 1 goal [*]Scoring higher than 90% on any given question will score you 2 goals [*]Scoring higher than 95% on any given question will score you 3 goals So lets pretend that A and B's answers looked like the following: Q1: A - 74% B - 77% (Final score for this question would be: A 0 - 1 B ) Q2: A - 85% B - 84% (Final score for this question would be: A 2 - 1 B ) Q3: A - 97% B - 91% (Final score for this question would be: A 4 - 2 B ) Q4: A - 0% B - 0% (Final score for this question would be: A 0 - 0 B ) Q5: A - 93% B - 93% (Final score for this question would be: A 2 - 2 B ) So therefore the final score between these 2 players (in goals) would be: A 8 - 6 B and so A is the winner and gets 3 points for the league. If the final score between C and D finished 7 - 7 then the league after week one would look like the following: Pos Player Wins Draws Losses Goals For Goals Against Goal Difference Points 1st A 1 0 0 8 6 +2 3 2nd B 0 1 0 7 7 0 1 3rd C 0 1 0 7 7 0 1 4th D 0 0 1 6 8 -2 0 The final table at the end of the season will have places decided through the following criteria: [*]Points [*]Goal Difference [*]Goals Scored [*]Result Between Tied Players [*]Results Excluding Bottom placed player, then second bottom player and so on. [*]Whoever gives me the most likes during the season. ***NB: if a player does not predict for a week they automatically lose the round 5-0 to whoever their opponent is. If a player misses 3 rounds then they are removed from the league and all previous results deleted.*** The above has been changed to: The current rule is: NB: if a player does not predict for a week they automatically lose the round 5-0 to whoever their opponent is. If a player misses 3 rounds then they are removed from the league and all previous results deleted. This will be changed to: NB: if a player does not predict for a week they will be awarded a score of 0.00% for every question. This allows the opponent to be eligible for all of the percentage bonuses for each question and is not punished for the misfortune of having a great week and not scoring as high as they deserved due to an opponent no show. If a player misses 3 rounds then they are removed from the league and all previous results deleted involving this player. Play offs: The top 2 players will qualify for the semi finals with the next 4 (3rd - 6th) making the quarters.

I'm going to Singapore on September 11th so maybe the weekend starting September 20th can be week 1 if the players are there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
