POTUS 2020 Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 Andy and I discussed creating a prize for accuracy for the year. There are many derby players that are predicting well but missed a few games and may have hard time catching up in points. In baseball both highest total hits in a year and highest batting average are acknowledged. Starting players can average 650 plate appearances. Leadoff hitters can have as many as 700 and often have the most hits, catchers that need a day of rest per week or an injured player may have only 500-550. MLB requires 500 minimum to win the batting average title. I am offering a prize for the best accuracy. Like baseball, a large majority of the year must be played. We've decided on 40 weeks. So if you started late or spaced out a few weeks you still have a chance at an annual prize and bragging rights. A $50 gift certificate(TBD) will be awarded. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyLL Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 Thank you No Prisoners for contributing the prize. Although the prize is provided by a forum member the Derby is run by the forum. That means the terms & conditions that exist for all Derby prizes are in force for this prize. http://derby.boxofficetheory.com/ClaimPrizes.aspx I am not eligible for Derby Prizes. Therefore I will be determining the winner and awarding the prize. As No Prisoners stated you must play 40 or more weekly games in the 2016 season to be eligible. The highest % as calculated on the Standings page (2016) will win. No Prisoners is eligible to win this prize. Good luck all. Andy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rolling Thunder Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 This is an excellent idea! I was looking at my schedule for the year and there's at least 3 weekends where making predictions might be challenging for various reasons. This gives frequent players who miss a week here and there something to play for, as well. Unlike professional sports, there are no off-days or bye weeks in the Derby so I extend a sincere 'thank-you' for making this opportunity available to us. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
