@Ashley and I are working to create a Worlds Bracket contest that is a lot more automatic and scored over our current post solution. It will be powered off the Road To Worlds database and allow it to be more intricate. SO, that being said, I want to suggest how the game would work (or how I think it would work) and you all give feedback on if that sounds like fun, too complicated, too simple, boring.
We are going to have 2 winners this year: a coed winner and an all girl winner. Because the size of each version of the teams is quite similar (the smalls look similar, the mediums look similar, and the larges look similar) in makeup, number of teams, and how they operate this makes the most send to me. You can enter both!
Picks Saturday - Users will pick the top 10 for small and medium divisions. They will get 1 point each for each correct team in the top 10. Order does not matter. These are all at large bids.
Picks Sunday - You pick the top 5 for the Large Division (this is finals). You get 1 point for first, 2 for second, 3 for 3rd, 2 for 4th, 1 for 5th. You will pick the top 10 for the small and medium divisions (these are a mixture of the paid bids and the 10 from the day before). You will get 2 points for picking first, 4 for picking second, 6 for picking 3rd, 6 for picking 4th correctly, 2 for fifth correctly. You will get one point for each team you get correctly in the top 10 and 2 points for the right place.
Picks Monday - You will pick the top 10 for the small and medium divisions. You will get 2 points for picking first, 4 for picking second, 6 for picking 3rd, 6 for picking 4th correctly, 2 for fifth correctly. You will get one point for each team you get correctly in the top 10 and 2 points for the right place.
Tie Breaker - You pick the top 5 for international coed or all girl depending on your bracket for both level 5 and 6.
There are plenty of teams I am sure everyone is unaware of, but because the software is pulling from the RTW database it will autocomplete names and help you pick suggestions (it is REALLY cool). You wont have to do any math at all and we will have a running tally as the contest goes on.
What do you all like / dont like? Too complicated? I wanted it to be a bit more strategy than picking the winner of large senior (which will obviously be Orange #biased ).
