World Series Contest

[2daBank]

But everyone seems to be picking all 4 division series winners, that would make for 9 points possible??

[2daBank]

I’m just gonna post mine assuming we only supposed to pick one Alds and one nlds winner since I’m not getting a answer. If that is incorrect hopefully I’ll be allowed to add the other..

[2daBank]

WC: nats., Oakland

Alds: houston

Nlds: cards

Alcs: houston

nlcs: cards

Ws: houston

Total ws runs: 42

While these contests are fun and free of course,

Mr. Drew or whoever types them up is often not totally clear on the structure

Spider then can come in and Disqualify posters

Just clean it up a bit ahead of time if you're gonna offer these, is my only input

And for now, please confirm whether Washington/Oakland is a zero or half a point (assuming Washington already won and Oakland loses tomorrow)

[spider]

Contest will be graded with max total 9 pts.

[SamsNCharge99]

I got 4/5 points so far. Thinking that’s pretty good

these contests are created by me with you guys in mind. This specific concept can not get any easier to understand. All you had to do was pick who won the games. Simple.

[SBR Drew]

And for now, please confirm whether Washington/Oakland is a zero or half a point (assuming Washington already won and Oakland loses tomorrow)

Where do you get half points from? You win or lose there are 9 points potentially.

[hotcross]

Mr. Drew, the comments were made because you are often making an small error in the original post. Not only this particular free contest, but in many of the others. This is not bashing you, this is the truth.

You just edited the original post for THIS contest TODAY, because you originally said maximum 7 points possible (not 9), which lead to the confusion.

Another example, the NFL Season wins contest, you DID NOT specifically say if picking a team that played Opening Night on Thursday, that those picks must be played prior to Thursday. In contrast, in other contests where that scenario is possible, you have stated that in the original post. So for the NFL Season wins contest, Spider has disqualified me and a few other posters who listed the Packers in our Groupings, but we posted our picks before the Sunday 1pm eastern deadline, instead of Thursday.

Bottom line, I (we) am saying you should be crystal clear on the rules and structure for any contest offered BEFORE posting it on the site.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

In this contest, out of the first 100 entries, everybody picked 9 teams. only 2 entries picked 7, so obviously everybody understood.


For the season wins contest, you and some other players picked Green Bay after they had played and won. of course you will be disqualified.
There's no contest in the world that will let entrants PAST-POST PICKS. It's a basic rule and COMMON SENSE for all contests.

[hotcross]

Spider I understand that, and the DQ

However it was not explicitly stated in the rules. Contrast that one with many other contests where it IS specifically stated if you are picking a team that plays on Thursday then the pick must be made prior to that game.

We have all witnessed many of these contests have the original post edited because Mr. Drew doesn't have it dialed in when he originally posts them. Hence the comments.

[SBR Drew]

The contest was never edited from 7 games to 9. It has always been 9 games. The only edit made was I placed an S in the two Divisional Round games.

We are putting out more contests than ever. In the future if I make an unclear portion of the rules with a contest it is best to address this before the contest begins. The SBR Forum community has always helped us out in the past with monitoring things. Going forward if something is unclear be sure to ask ahead of the start of the contest.

I appreciate the community and its feedback. Let’s move on and good luck to all.

Nats need to beat the cards then either beat astros or can lose to yanks (i think)

maybe an outside shot with cards/yanks but didnt check that scenario

I have Yanks over Cards in World Series

I have 5/6 possible points right now

[RudyRuetigger]

I have Yanks over Cards in World Series

I have 5/6 possible points right now

if its yanks/nats, you beat me with a yanks win and over 35 runs scored



yanks/cards i think you might have locked it up against everyone but not sure, didnt check

[RudyRuetigger]

i wasnt doing as well as i thought in here

especially if astros win this series with yanks

[maritsa1819]

GG?

[maritsa1819]

Anyone with perfect bracket so far?

[RudyRuetigger]

i mustve been hammered when i checked this

best i can do if astros beat yanks is tie for first and it has to be 33, 34, or 35 runs total otherwise lost

[dhristov211]

Only 4 scenarios possible now. If you have 7 or less very small chance to winning...

[leovegas]

Each correct answer gets you a point. Maximum amount of correct points is 9.





Any ties will be decided by answering the following question. Closest to actual answer WITHOUT GOING OVER (Price is Right Rules) is the winner.



How many runs will be scored in the World Series? (Only the World Series)

Need a quick 4-0 or 4-1 sweep by the Astros to have a chance in this one. My tie-breaker is 29.

[leovegas]

Washington, Tampa Bay
Minnesota, Houston
Washington, Atlanta
Washington, Houston
Houston

Total Runs- 29

After a quick check, at least 5 others will tie at 7 points if Houston wins WS.

you are out

atleast 1-3 will have 8 points if astros win


think i need a miracle nats win with 33-34 runs for a share

[RudyRuetigger]

ok i think 1 person will have 8 if houston wins??

i need under 34 runs or under if washington wins



ive been wrong 5 times here
