Morning all!
Fun format!
Its about to go down in the next 9 weeks.
Few questions :
Players split the pot of the Cloud they LOSE on, winners move on to next stage.What if a single player manages to stay high enough? For example by the time we reach the 6th week, only one managed to make it, shouldnt he win the pool every time he wins? Or will it go unclaimed?
Honestly I hadn't thought about this, so thanks for bringing it up! I think the best way to do it is if there's one player left, and they manage to keep advancing, then they will receive all of the pot for the Cloud they finish on. Any funds that go unclaimed will be used for a raffle or added to next month's competition prize pool.
I'm open to suggestions though
Players start on Cloud 1 and each successful prediction will move them up.
Does this mean any player can re-start from Cloud 1 once they get disqualified if there are still more weeks ahead? They wont be able to reach the max prize but they are allowed to play again right?
Unfortunately once you are out, then you are out for good
I might play with the format for future competitions (adding buybacks?), but I wanted to trial this as a take on the 'last man standing' predictor competitions I've seen in other places.
What format will the games be? Do we need to predict the score or just the winner?
Because one of these two is downright impossible.
Thanks for all the giveaways! Your competition formats are the most fun Ive seen done in here.
Unless we get high up the ladder with a large number of people still in, I'll likely stick to a simple Win/loss format to keep it simple (or win/loss/draw for relevant spots like soccer)
So the safety bet/safety net can be used only once during the 9-week long event?
Correct! My advice would be to save it for a week that you are completely unsure of the result, like a match with very close odds or a sport you aren't too familiar with.
Any other questions then please let me know! As I said this is a new format I'm trialing so i'm half-expecting there to be a few issues along the way, so if you spot anything then please drop me a message here or via PM.
I'll be announcing the first sporting event on Monday, but here's a hint: We'll be
kicking things off with a cup tie!
Thanks, and have a great weekend!
