S56 Sim Pick'em: Random Stats edition
Posted: Fri Jan 14, 2022 9:04 pm
Welcome back everyone! Like you, I got tired of seeing gman, k100 false9 and mamba lead this show. So, maybe, just maybe, this switch up will get us some new winners.
I certainly miss winning pick'ems :*(
So here we go! The way you engage will be exactly the same: click the link to the form and select one of two teams for each named game of pick'em.
...You're just not picking the winner of the game anymore!
You're picking, for example, which team's starting center will grab more rebounds. Which PG will have more turnovers. Which team will have a better 3P%. Stuff like that.
What happens with a tie, you ask? Well, you will get credit for whichever guess you made. So if the Pistons are playing the Magic and Kai Jones and Mitchell Robinson both grab 11 boards, you could have guessed the Pistons OR the Magic and it will count toward your final score.
In the interest of working out any kinks, we are holding a trial round for preseason this year. I have selected six games, and from each of those six games...
Which team will have the most entries on the league leaders stats page at the end of the preseason?
Make your selections here, and following preseason I'll see who theoretically would have won. No points will be administered for this trial run, but hopefully this makes it clear how it will work and Quailman won't have any questions beyond "I submitted late - will my responses still count?"
Like last year, we will negate your lowest score from consideration, and the top three winners will still be awarded points accordingly:
1st: 12 pts
2nd: 8 pts
3rd: 5 pts
And the winner of each sim may also claim 1 point, even if we have multiple GMs with the highest score.
Sound good? Good. Be sure to have your responses in by sim time each sim and please also post in the respective thread when you are done for verificaiton purposes.
Best of luck and have fun everyone!
