2014-2015 #SLOE Pick 'Em - Sim 8
Posted: Tue May 30, 2017 10:41 am
This sim on Pick 'Em, I noticed that there are 6 days with exactly 8 games, so we're going to play a complicated game I invented called CRAZY 8s. Although, I guess there's already a game called Crazy 8s, and I didn't invent it. So, let's call this game, uh, CRAZIER 8s. Yeah, that ups the ante.
Anyway, pick 5 of these days and throw one out and pick the winners of each game on each of these days. Then, rank the days from 1-5, 1 being the least sure and 5 being the most sure you are about your picks that day. (Use all the numbers: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5). Each win you get right, you get the amount of points corresponding to that day's ranking (e.g. if you rank a day as 3 and get 5 games right that day, you get 15 points).
If you get all the games right on a day, you double the amount of points you get for that day.
And as a final twist, select 8 games from the field where you think the margin between the scores will be exactly 8 points. You get an additional 8 points any time that happens. In my example, I've denoted those games by writing CRAZY 8 next to the winner.
You can see my official entry at the bottom of this post as an example.
As always, EVERYONE can play every week. The best score from your division will be ranked against the best score from the rest of the divisions, so participation can only help your division's cause. And remember, you'll get points at the end of the season for having good attendance. Here's how the participation points break down.
Participate in 11+ Pick 'Ems: 5 points
Participate in 10 Pick 'Ems: 4 points
Participate in 9 Pick 'Ems: 3 points
Participate in 8 Pick 'Ems: 2 points
Participate in 7 Pick 'Ems: 1 point
Participate in 6 or fewer Pick 'Ems: No soup for you
Furthermore, if your division has the most cash at the end of Pick 'Em, you get 5 points...UNLESS YOU DON'T PARTICIPATE IN ANY PICK 'EMS. Here's the standings after week 1.
4th Place: Midwest - $1450
3rd Place: Pacific - $2150
2nd Place: Atlantic - $2400
1st Place: Central - $3900
For this sim, the prizes are the same as last sim.
1st Place: $1100
2nd Place: $700
3rd Place: $300
4th Place: The satisfaction of at least reading the rules and executing them properly, if not skillfully, this time.
