2014 Weekly Predictions Game

Post by coachouert » Mon Aug 25, 2014 10:01 am

Thanks to the kmax, the annual Weekly Predictions Game is now LIVE just in time for game week! So much to think about, so little time. Big thanks to kmax for taking the time to do this again.

Now, let's get to the fine print also known as the rules.

Each week you can go to http://bobcatnation.com/coachschallenge" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; to make your prediction. Also, the link is available from the homepage under the contest tab.

-- 1 entry per message board user, must have message board login to enter
-- Entries lock 1 hour before kickoff each week
-- Entries can be edited up until they are locked
-- Entries will be scored by taking difference between your guess at the MSU score and the actual MSU score and adding it to the difference between your guess at the opponents score and the actual opponents score.
-- Entries without a valid guess entered by lock time for a particular week will score the same as the highest difference (the worst score) for that week. That way if you miss a week you aren't completely out of the running for the season.
-- The user with lowest score in a week wins that week
-- The user with lowest combined score of all weeks wins contest.

Prizes are TBD

Note that you can predict all the scores for the whole season without impacting your score until the final score for that game is recorded.
So if you want to predict all the scores and then edit them before each game you can do that without worry. The results are only calculated for games in which there is a final score posted for the game itself.

The game will ONLY consist of the regular 12 game season. Even if/when the Cats move to the postseason, the weekly prediction game will not.

When entering your scores, keep in mind that the VISITING team is always the first one to show up. This means the Cats will be second when that week's game is at home and they will be FIRST when they are on the road. I repeat THE VISITING TEAM ALWAYS HAS THEIR SCORE ENTERED FIRST.

Each week I will create a prediction thread as a reminder to enter your scores for that week and to banter about that week's game.

Please let us know if you encounter any issues entering your score. Good luck and as always GO CATS! GATOS!
