Re: AE10: Dawn Of A New Campaign: Brainstorm Thread
Well I will be back to defend my title.
As far as suggestions go, the Featured Games didnt really do anything for me. Not the idea, but just the format. Found myself not really taking too much notice of who and what I tipped in it, and just think the concept of tipping a game total within a 7 point bracket is just too much of a crap shoot.
So as far as ideas go, I would like to see some sort of pre-season predictions comp where we make predictions about the up coming season, like maybe division winners, conference winners and eventual super bowl champs and we score points for the ones we get right, and once the season starts theyre locked and we all live and die by it. Could be fun.
Another idea for a preseason predictions comp, is that prior to the start of the season, we all rank the teams in order from the team we think will win the most games down to the least, and when each team wins a game during the season, we get the points of the position we ranked them in. So for example if I pick the Giants to win the most games that season, that gives them a value of 32 points for each win they get during the season, much like the weekly confidence tipping scoring.
And on the subject of a Featured Games comp, maybe make it 4 games a week where we have to tip against the betting spread and the Over/Under for each of the 4 games. If you get either the spread or the over/under right you get a point. Get both right you get 3 points. Something like that.
Anyway, looking forward to the season.
