Updated Ladder in Tipping Comp

[Pseudo]

You can tell her you were the only one to get 4/4 in an absolute horror round - Bravo!

Bravo indeed. I had a squiz on this board solely to see if anyone had managed 4 from 4.

Me, I got 3. I couldn't be happier 'coz I got the right game wrong

[johntheclaret]

WooHoo I needed that

[therisingblues]

Eh? What's Army tank doing up there? Recount! Recount!

[smac]

He is alphabetically superior, theri.

I am signing up as Aaron Aardvark next season, it would see me 8th instead of 12th right now.

[therisingblues]

Alphabetically superior? I may follow your lead, and next year will become a contest to see hwo can include the most "A"s at the beginning of their name. I'm going to opt for the cunning Aaron Aardbark.

[Wedgie]

Just remember the Top 10 go through to the playoffs in the finals (or those tied in 10th place plus those above them).

[therisingblues]

Just remember the Top 10 go through to the playoffs in the finals (or those tied in 10th place plus those above them).

Seriously? How's that going to work?
* Final five system with the top place getter getting the double chance, (ie. a rest in the first week and then picking the margin of the 1st semi final etc..)?
* Top ten returning to zero points and some other novel playoff system taking place?
* Top ten standing as is with their end of minor round totals counting toward the finals?
* Will margins be part of the finals competition?
* Have I swallowed this hook line and sinker?
* Does the "minor premier" win a doughnut?

Good question theri, I should have detailed my thoughts earlier but Im sure noone will accuse me of bias as none of my family look like making it.
My initial thoughts and the thoughts Id like to go with are:

Top 10 (or those tied with the tenth person) go through to the finals.
The tipping website can't handle the change of setup so it will be done manually on here.
The finalists will keep their score from the minor round.
Winners and margins will be picked for each match.
Margins will only be used to decide the top 3 at the end of the finals if there are ties.
For eg two people have 70 winners in first spot but person a's total margin is smaller so he/she gets first spot and person be gets 2nd spot.
If in a match (say North v Glenelg) person a picks North by 20 pts and person by picks Glenelg by 20 pts and North win the game by 30pts then person a will be deemed to be 10 pts away and person b will be deemed 50 pts away.
Minor premier will be awarded a bun simiilar to the crowds threads.

I hope that makes sense but any questions feel free to ask, Im glad we're getting things clear before we hit the business end.
It was never my plan to have everyone in the top 10 (or similar) to return to equal points, people who have built up a lead during the year deserve to hang onto it but they will be deemed to have choked if the minor premier doesn't win the big one!

[therisingblues]

Sounds good to me Wedgie. I think it would also be good if all finalists PM you their predictions once the finals start. I think it makes a huge difference to the results if you know what the other person's tipping. For example Army Tank has caught up three points on me in the past two weeks, if I had known what he was tipping before hand I could easily have entered the same tips as he, and still been three points ahead going late into the season. If the luxury of knowing th eother person's tips was there I probably wouldn't intentionally follow them, just to protect a lead, but it would be hard not to be influenced by what other people think, (especially an ex-pat like myself who draws his conclusions based entirely on what people have written here). The other thing is (like the BFC last year) once the first person has made a points prediction (eg. North by 30 points) it is so much easier for the person tipping second to just go higher or lower ( "Hmmm, North are good, but not that good, I reckon they'll win by 6 points, but I'll play it safe and go North by 29, because the other clown has them 30!" In this scenario the person tipping second has been handed a big advantage, if North were to win by 19 points then the person tipping second has won it based on prior knowledge.)

[Wedgie]

Yep, I agree with that Theri, just in case the finalists don't peruse every topic regularly I'll pm every finalist next week with the full rules and post it here again.
Finalists will have the chance up to the exact starting moment of the first final of each week to PM me with tips as the time shows on PMs like normal posts.
If I haven't put up a post by noon on Sunday, can someone please pm me to remind me?
I have so much on my bloody plate these days I forget so much, if I live to be old I hate to think what I'll be like then.

[Wedgie]

PS If the finals started this week then we would have had 12 entrants in the finals, I hope that makes it clear for people.

I was in a work tipping comp a few years back where 3 of us finished equal top because we knew what each other was tipping and safety over-rode instinct - Theri makes a good point about knowing other people's tips before you do your own

Army Tank didn't get his tips in!! I feel as though I have eased ahead a little unfairly, I wonder what happened?
And who is this Aaron Aardvark that has sprung form nowhere? And why has Smac suddenly disappeared?
