Spurstalk Prediction Contest (Feb 26th - Mar 13)

[ffadicted]

Spurstalk Prediction Contest:
Contest #1

As part of my contribution to raising the bar, I'm gonna be running a prediction contest until the end of the season, and hopefully the playoffs (if we make it :lol:(). From the rockets game until the postseason, I'm planning on 3 editions (9 games each). Note that the Thunder game is not going to be part of this edition, because it's tomorrow and I wanna give people time to get their predictions in. Here are the rules:

Rules:

* Predictions must be made before tipoff in the first game (in this case, before the tipoff in the Rockets game, Feb 26th 8:30 ET)

* Predict a win or loss for each game by copy and pasting the game list in your post, and putting a W or L beside the game. Also don't forget to include the bonus prediction (more on that in a bit)

* You don't have to predict all the games right to win! Since I realize 9/9 is a hard task, the user with the most predictions correctly at the end will win.

* In case of a tie, the following will be used as tie breakers:

- Predictions against teams below .450 will be worth 1 point, and between .450 and .600 will be worth 1.5 points, and above .600 will be worth 2 points. User with the most points will win the tiebreaker. These are records at the time of the game!

- If users have the same number of points, then the bonus prediction will be used to determine the winner. The bonus prediction this round is:

Bonus Prediction:

How many points will Manu Ginobili average over the 9 game stretch (To one decimal place)Make sure to include this prediction along with your wins/loses!

Prizes:

* Winner of the contest will win my sig space for 10 days!
* Regardless of tiebreakers, the person closest to the bonus prediction will win my avatar for the same amount of time!
* I'm trying to lobby for some vBookie cash to be included for the winner(s), stay tuned lol

Ok, here are the updates after the New Orleans game:

============================================
Results after 3 games
============================================
Spurs Record: 2 - 1
Max Prediction Points: 5
Manu's Average: 14.0ppg

Leaders:
1st Place: Penya [3-0, 5pts, +2.4 manu's avg]
2nd Place: NFGIII [3-0, 5pts, +2.5 manu's avg]
3rd Place: Spurs Brazil [3-0, 5pts, +3.3 manu's avg]
Bonus Prediction: tothrowed [14.2ppg, +0.2]

Spurstalk Totals (total predictions made right - wrong):
@ Houston (28-28): 17 - 34; 0.333
vs Phoenix (37 - 23): 37 - 14; 0.725
@ New Orleans (31-29): 30 - 21; 0.588

Below 0.450: 0-0; 0.000
Between .450 - .600: 47 - 55; 0.461
Above 0.600: 37 - 14; 0.725
Games to Date: 17 - 34; 0.549

============================================

Spurs Record means the team's record so far in the game list; max prediction points means the max tie-breaking points one could get by making correct predictions. Manu's average is just his average so far (for the bonus prediction).

Leaders just show who's leading so far. Format is Name [record, points, +/- on bonus tiebreaker]. The Bonus Prediction is who is closest to guessing manu's average, which is the little contest within this big contest.

Spurstalk Totals are just the total predictions made for each game or for each total of games. For example, so far after 3 games, there were 47 right predictions for games against opponents between .450 - .600, and 55 wrong predictions.

The record beside each name in the front page is just how many right predictions to how many wrong ones they have made, and the total tie breaking points they've gotten so far.

Hope this explains everything, and congrats so far to the 3 posters with perfect records!

=================================

All three leaders shifted, and Bukefal is currently the best. A chance to earn 2 points for a correct prediction tonight, and the rest of the games will only be worth 1 point, so this could be a big difference maker. We're also tied in the ginobili one, and I never thought of a tie breaker for that, but I will if need be at the end lol

Congrats to the winners so far, we're over halfway done, no perfect predictions anymore though

[DesignatedT]

this might be getting interesting!

[ffadicted]

It's kinda late here (1:18am lol), I'll crunch the numbers for the two games tomorrow, but wow I can't believe even I was way short on Manu's average...

Not including the LeBron no show (which would have made the loss at Cleveland far more predictable)... this overall prediction looks spot on (especially the comment at the end)...

So far so good... I actually screwed the pooch on the first game, but other than that, let's hope the rest is correct... :D

============================================

Ok guys, so the winners as promised, ohmwrecker you can have my avatar until next sunday, and apalisoc_9, you can have my sig lol. Just PM me. Also, few questions with input from you guys... should we have two more versions, or spread it out and have predictions until the end of the season? I noticed there were a lot of ties because there were only a few sensible choices for the predictions. So I think that if we spread it out, it won't rely so much on the tiebreakers to get a final result. I'm leaning towards until the end of the season, but lemme know what you guys think.

[DesignatedT]

sweet. looking forward to the next one.

[DesignatedT]

i think that the next 9 games will be a lot more difficult to predict, resulting in less ties. there were a lot of sub 500 teams that we played this last time... but it doesnt matter to me... we can stretch it out if you want.

No way I would have thought I'd even get close. I just looked at the schedule and Manu's recent past and took a shot. But if the Spurs didn't have those blowouts then I would have been toast predicting Manu's avg.

Thanks ffadicted for the poll and looking forward to the next one.
