onejayhawk Posted August 19, 2023 Share Posted August 19, 2023 How would you set up a contest of picking the 1st and 2nd place teams in each division? You could do eight exactas, ie 1st and 2nd in the correct order. You could do eight quinellas, ie 1st and second in either order. You could parlay the above You could give points for the correct team and place with fewer points for one place off. You could try something else. Some consideration needs to be given to ease of scoring and tiebreaker procedures. This is intended for office use, but I can see it going to a much larger audience. Like picking the NCAA tournament, getting everything right will be difficult to impossible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaguarCrazy2832 Posted August 20, 2023 Share Posted August 20, 2023 I would say have them pick exact order 1-2 but give partial credit if they arent in the right order Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pick 1-2 and assign 3 points for the right spot, and 1 point for the wrong spot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaguarCrazy2832 Posted August 20, 2023 Share Posted August 20, 2023 I wonder if in a way to promote not being chalky there was a bonus for correctly picking the least picked outcome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's eight points for the exacta, five for the quinella, with five, three, and two for single picks. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
