Here is how I propose to keep score

  • 20 points awarded if you make the right prediction
  • 20 points subtracted if you make the wrong prediction
  • 10 points awarded if you make the correct score prediction for a team
  • Subtract 1 point for every point you're off of the actual score for each team

Let's use Brent's predictions for this week for example. Let's say that the actual scores for the games end up being:

Clem 45 - UGA 35
Scar 31 - UNC 17

Brent's predictions were:

Clem 37 - UGA 31
Scar 20 - UNC 17

Brent would get 20 points for each game he guessed correctly. In this case he get's 40 points.

He was off by 7 points for Clem's score and off by 4 points for UGA's score. That's 40 - 11 = 29.

So after the Clem and UGA prediction Brent has 29 points. On to the Scar and UNC prediction.

He was off by 11 points for Scar's score and guessed UNC's score correctly which is plus 10 points. That's 29 - 11 = 18. Then 18 + 10 = 28. Brent's score for this week would be 28.

Sure it's a little more confusing method but it will keep us honest as far as what we really think about our score predictions. I would be more than happy to keep score every week and let everyone know their point totals and how I came up with them if their are any questions.

Let me know what you think.
