Hello All,
I am not going to sticky this, because it is not something that I am using yet. Using this year to see how things go and see how closely it matches the table week to week. This scoring is too easily manipulated if people realize how it works, so playing with ideas of penalizing people for wrong picks. But, all in good time.
Here is how it works. There are x points available every week where x is the number of tippers. Like for week 2 this week, 61 people got their picks in. So there were 61 points available each game. Those points are divided up evenly, to the nearest 0.05 point (always rounding down to make sure I stay UNDER the x points each week), for those that picked right. Those who miss picks in a week get 0's for everything. People getting underdogs has a huge effect in this type of scoring and those that pick it right deserve the max points.
So, how does the table look after week 2? It is below. I have week 1 score and week 2 score after the rankings. The range is MUCH bigger in this type of scoring and it makes you go outside the box for picks, because if you only ever pick the favorites, your score is going to suck.
I guess we will see how this goes. Will be interested to see how closely it resemebles the Leaderboard as we get further into the week. Just take this is a bit of fun, it means nothing.

I guess we will see how this goes. Will be interested to see how closely it resemebles the Leaderboard as we get further into the week. Just take this is a bit of fun, it means nothing.
