Didn't want to clutter up your thread, so I started this instead.
What happens if there is a tie?

You could pick all ties and get 5 points. Strategy would come into play at the end of the season. I'm going to agree with big_thurst and ties = 0 points. Being wrong = 0 points, picking a tie or picking a winner.Can't Never Tried wrote:Just my opinion here, but I think if you pick a tie and it hits, you get the same points as if you called the winner.
If you pick a tie, the teams would have to tie in order for you to get the point. If either team wins, you'd get no points for it, which is why it's probably not too good an idea to pick a tie (obviously). Unless, of course, Bob's rules are different from how I'd interpret it. It's his contest, so how I see it is just, well, how I see itNeutron 14 wrote:You could pick all ties and get 5 points. Strategy would come into play at the end of the season.

For now, just the boys. The girls board is still probably a year out.eastsidehockey wrote:Is this just for boys or did you start something for girls boblee? Just wondering as I "catching up" on what is going on
I do plan on posting a weekly standings, right before week 3, then continuing through the season. For people reading this, if you don't post your scores, I don't count them. I can enter them in my file easily, but I don't have time to look through 100 picks per week. CNT, feel free to start that other thread. I think that is a great idea.Can't Never Tried wrote:OK is there going to be a HS pick em standings thread?
And...... should we have another thread for the fun stuff? that we are not putting in the picks and scores threads?? Just an idea.
I mean this things gonna go a couple months! and it might be nice to have a common place to talk about the wins , losses, upsets. etc. and of course a little banter on others picks.
what a ya think?
