Title: Need help with a new contest
Post by: MURP on November 11, 2005, 03:49:52 PM
Im going to have another contest started... even though it is half way through the season.  I have a basic idea of how it should go, but I need some ideas from anyone else as far as scoring etc.   

The Basis of the contest will be a weekly pool involving the Eagles games.  You will get points based on if you guess correctly etc.   Each week the points will add on to the previous week and there will be a winner at the end of the season. 

Examples.   The question might be:  How many sacks will the Eagles get vs the Cowboys.  Over/Under = 3

-  If you said under and the Eagles had 2 sacks you would get a point.  If you said over you wouldnt get anything.   This could be used for # of times rushing, INT's, FG's, passes, etc etc.    I feel it could be more interesting than that as far as scoring criteria and questions....  It cant be too complex since scoring would be down on the board (probably by me).

Any Ideas?  comments?  Sound interesting? Geh?  bueller?

Sounds just complicated enough to last for one week.

It's cool.  I think you (MURP) can make up 4-5 random multiple choice questions before every game and run the whole thing, and people will just follow along like the lemmings we are.

Sounds cool.  I'm in.  Hey, do the questions have to be limited to strictly what takes place on the field?  This week we've got the Monday Night game so I think there should be at least one question regarding how many times Madden refers to Cheesesteaks or Brett Favre.
