Well, we are getting close to the start of the pre-season and the regular season, so time for me to get to work. :groovy:
So for this years predictions there will be something new to the whlfans.ca game day prediction contest, not only will be playing for the honour of being the best predicter, there will be PRIZES.
Yes that is correct, there will be prizes awarded during the year, which will be detailed below.
First the rules:
POINTS:
1 point for correctly prediciting a winner
0 points for predicting wrong.
Winner is in regulation, overtime or shoot-out.
POSTING TWICE
If by chance you post picks twice for the same game day, I will use your FIRST set of picks to calculate your score.
POSTING AFTER GAMES START
Predictions made after a game has started will be null. Please be sure to get your picks in early. I will only count games that have not started into your total for that day.
ERRORS
Hey I make mistakes in counting sometimes, I only have so many fingers and toes. So please check your totals when I post them and alert me to any mistakes and I will fix them asap.
I will post at the end of each game day thread the respective totals for that day just like in years past.
Once a winner has been declared, it will be too late, so check often.
GAME DAY THREADS
I will post the game day threads 3-4 days prior to the start of those games, please look to see if one is already started BEFORE starting a new one.
PRIZES
How scoring works:
EG:
Player A: 90/150 - 90 points (60%)
Player B: 60/100 - 60 Points (60%)
Player C: 6/10 - 6 points (60%)
Even though all 3 players have the same %, Player A would be the winner with 90 points.
------
In the case of a tie, the person with the highest percantage will be declared the winner.
EG:
Player A 90/150 = 90 points 60%
Player B 90/120 = 90 Points 75%
Player C 90/100 = 90 Points 90%
Player C would win in this case with the higher %
--------
This is done with the simple idea of the more you play and participate the better chance you have winning.
MONTHLY PRIZES:
At the conclusion of every month, all the points will be tallied, and a winner for that month will be declared.
Monthly prizes will be announced, by HAF, prior to the start of each of months contest. Potential prizes include, hats, togues golf towels etc.
YEAR END PRIZE
The person with the highest score at the end of the year, will receive a whlfans.ca Jacket. All games for the entire year EXCEPT PRESEASON GAMES, will be counted into this total.
Potential monthly prizes and the Jacket can be seen in this thread here:http://www.whlfans.ca/showthread.php?t=7628
SPECIAL THANKS:
To HAF for offering up these prizes for the players of this game. You get 2 big thumbs up. :thumb: :thumb:
So, have fun and enjoy yourselves, and good luck.
DISCLAIMER:
In case of any dispute about the winner of either the monthly prize or the year end prize, the decision of the judge, ME, will be final. :)
Since Beaner Runs this deal and HAF is the administrator if either Beaner or HAF happen to win a month the prize will automatically become a youth hoodie which will be donated to the Clothes for Kids drive. HAF's Will be donated to TC's and Beaners will be donated to his charity of choice.
Cheers
