Week 1 picks NFL 2015

[Androidpk]

Same rules as last year.




A) No editing pick posts. Make a new post if you need to make changes. (If you quote your original post in that edit post, it makes my life easier and will reduce potential human error in the score tallying.)



B) Games that started before a post/edit time stamp will NOT be counted.



C) ** CHANGE IN TIEBREAKER ** For years, we've done "Price is Right" rules for picking the tiebreaker score for the Monday Night Football game. After a few questionable "wins" by tiebreaker last season, I feel that needs to change. SO.... here's how it's going to be. Obviously, if someone guesses exactly the combined score of the first Monday Night Football game, they will break the tie and win. For all other values, a simple calculation will be performed.

METHOD OF TIEBREAKER CALCULATION:
A = actual score
G = guessed score
I = Intermediate score
T = Tiebreaker Value

I = A - G
T = I if I >= 0
T = I * -2 if I < 0

I hope that makes sense.... but here's an example to clarify.

Assume the game's combined score is 56, and a tie between two people leaves us with tiebreaker values of 50 and 60.

I = 56 - 50
I = 6
T = 6

I = 56 - 60
I = -4
T = -4 * -2
T = 8

If after that calculation, there is still a tie, the lower value will be considered the winning tiebreaker. This would've been the case had the higher value been 59 instead of 60 in the above example.



D) Scoring will be by the following filters to determine both weekly and overall winners.
a) Overall wins
b) Winning %
c) Total games picked

[Androidpk]

Good question. Best of two if need be?

[WRoss]

In the past it's always been the last game of the week. I just through two in there because I was really tired and started the trend. Sorry.

Changing pick to the Steelers tonight. Question: Could I have changed my original post? Or is this the way to do it.

This is the way to do it, don't edit your picks post.

As long as the edits are made before the first game of the week that is fine.

Fix your last pick.

[subzero]

Wow, talk about a nice win for Dallas!

Yeah, all except for Dez breaking something in his foot.

[Androidpk]

Week 1 results!

I tried putting these results into a table but I'm encountering a user error so it'll be quick and sloppy this time. Essentially it is wins, losses, total games picked and win %.


Ardwen: 08/08/16/50.00%

Wross: 09/07/16/56.25%

Maviur: 07/09/16/43.75%

Tyrant: 07/08/15/46.66%

Kembal: 09/07/16/56.25%

Gompers: 06/10/16/37.50%

PK: 08/08/16/50.00%

Hoy: 11/05/16/68.75%

Elcid: 06/10/16/37.75%

Drinin: 08/07/15/53.33%

Shaft: 12/03/15/80.00%

Subzero: 12/04/16/75.00%

Chaddy: 07/08/15/46.66%

[Androidpk]

Assuming I followed Gib's method correctly (someone please check) then it looks like Shaft is this weeks winner.

However I'm not sure how missed games are treated so I need some clarification.

[Ardwen]

Unless Hoy posted in a time warp I am fairly sure his Niners didn't count lol, and weekly winners is just a most wins thing so pretty sure ya need to check the tiebreaker.

[Androidpk]

Why wouldn't his pick count, it came in before the game.

Okay, if it is total wins then I'm not sure. If we go by last game of the week then Subzero wins.

Interestingly enough if we went by both monday games (and Subzero missed the other game so I counted his guess as 0) abd then combined both tiebreaker scores then Shaft and Subzero have the same tiebreaker score. I would give the win to Shaft then since he had both numbers picked.

I blame Wross!

[RSR]

Completely left my results off the list.

[Archigeek]

What a shitty game by Minnesota. Holy stinkbomb batman. From play choice to offensive execution they wreaked. Defense played ok.

[WRoss]

Here's a format for you to use if you'd like:

Ignore this while I play with it.

PLAYER|WINS|LOSSES|%
Ardwen|8|8|50%
WRoss|9|7|56.25%



The winner should be whoever has the most wins followed by the tiebreaker. If the tiebreaker is a tie, I always went with whomever picked first.

[subzero]

Okay, if it is total wins then I'm not sure. If we go by last game of the week then Subzero wins.

Typically, it's total wins. The last (scheduled; moved games would be an exception) game of the week has points as a tiebreaker when people are tied for number of wins.

Why on Earth would you bother to complicate things by having two tie-breaker games? It might happen, what, one more time this year where we have two monday night games?

Also, fuck those monday night games!

Oh. And one more thing.

Yes. Ideally there are no ties because people pay attention to the scores already posted, but...

Yeah, we should have clarified all the rules and possible questions before the games started. It's too bad no one made a thread about it :)


I'll agree two picks was wonky. In case of multiple Monday night games lets go with the last game of the night. In case of a tie after that then the win will go to whoever picked first.

Because of that I'll have the weeks games up on the Sunday night before, lets say 9 pm EST.

RSR, I'll get your picks/numbers up. Twat.

Subzero you are the winner of week 1.

Shaft in like a boss.

Anything else?

Derrr, yes, thanks to WRoss and Kembal for the tabular help.
