Duration of the game:First Stage or 60-day Elimination Period - All qualified participants are to predict the winners of the games posted to earn/lose points.
The Final Stage - Only top 10 of the participants with the highest points will proceed to this stage. The first to reach 12 points wins the game. Once a participant reaches 12 points the tournament officially ends (all the remaining live picks for that day are still to be counted).
***In case of a 12 points tie. The *top 10 ranked finalists will continue with their prediction picks until there is an established
single points leader.
***In case of a tie in the runner ups, the First Stage ranking acts as the tie-breaker.
***If the First Stage ranking is not enough to decide (unlikely) on runner ups tie then we will set another games for them to predict until settled.
Mechanics of the Game:1. I will be posting games daily and qualified participants can predict the winner of each game.
2.
Cut-off time will be 23:59 GMT +8 or approximately 5 hours to 11 hours before every game starts.In order to be fair to participants having a hard time with the cut-off time. New cut-off time will be before the NBA official game time schedule,
https://stats.nba.com/schedule/.
3. It is not necessary to predict all posted games. This way contestants missing some of the games due to priorities in life are not in a disadvantage to those active with their daily picks.
4. Every correct game prediction will be given 1 point and a wrong prediction is -1 point. A bad prediction has consequences just like in the real betting world. Quality over quantity wins the game.
5. You can change picks before cut-off time by quoting your old prediction and posting the updated one. Do not edit and delete.
6. When the games are starting already
deleting and editing of predictions are considered cheating and you will be automatically banned in this game.
7. Participants reaching their accumulated total scores to -5 will be automatically eliminated in this tournament.
Additions to clarify and simplify the game NO NEW PARTICIPANTS AFTER DAY 30 MATCHESWith regards to the 60-day elimination round. Let us not accept any new participants after day 30 matches. It diminishes the spirit of the game. The possibility that most of the participants will continue to have low scores but were able to survive elimination, it is a good accomplishment already and they deserved the rights to fight for the top 10. We cannot allow new participants to just hopped in, take advantage and try their luck in the late stage of the elimination period.
This additional rule also means that those below the top 10 ranks need to step up. It is either they face the risk of elimination in order to reach the top 10 or stay below top 10 which doesn't make any sense. Remember, top 10 participants if feeling safe can stop predicting and hold on with their points. But for those trying to top the ranking in the First Stage, they do have an advantage during the Final Stage.
***In case of a tie in the runner ups, the First Stage ranking acts as the tie-breaker.
ONLY TOP 10 RANKED PARTICIPANTS LEFT IN THE GAME ENDS THE FIRST STAGE BEFORE 60 DAYSBecause the championship round or the final stage matters most. So if only the top 10 players remained in the game, they can stop predicting and just hold on with their points. So we would rather end the First Stage early and proceed to the final and championship round.
In case of inactive participants as the only remaining survivors outside the top 10, they will be informed thru pm with a deadline if they want to continue.
