Additional comp ideas have been submitted this off-season to be considered by the AE alumi (members over the seven year course) in which up to SIX* will be applied for the 2014 AE campaign.
Please be aware that a sufficient majority (70+ members) will be required to lodge their multiple choices of the following COMP options that have also included 'tweak variations' of TWO of the MAJOR comps, 3XKO & NEXT DUEL. Please vote for one of the TWO of each version OR just submit ONE VOTE only to 'repeat' on last season's list minus Temptation.
The 2013 list of comps included:
CONFIDENCE RATING
3XKO**
NEXT DUEL**
DROP ZONE ELIMINATION
HIGH ROLLER SWEEPSTAKES
LAST CHANCE SALOON
****************************************
** Double Asterisk** denotes GG's alternate tweaked variation:
Tweaked 3XKO :
FYI on how that 3xko works.....first week you pick two teams. You have three lives. If you get a team wrong that week. You're down to two lives. Week two you pick another two teams. You get another team wrong. Down to one life. Week three, must always still pick two teams. You get one wrong, you're out, three strikes. Or, if week one you got two wrong, you'd have only one life left, but week two you still have to pick two teams. You're always picking two teams because there are 32 teams in the NFL, 16 weeks, so you will select all 32 teams if the comp runs that long. Week 17 reserved for a tie-breaker.
Alternatively....you COULD have three strikes, but every week pick one team only. Like Empire site did it. So you might only end up having gone thru 16 of the possible 32 teams of the NFL. Requiring a tie-breaker still week 17. One new team every week. Three strikes total.
Either method works.
Tweaked NEXT DUEL: using win odds ($1.30, $3.50, etc) times by ten to be a whole number and tallied up.
Spreads / Unders-Overs
2010 Monthly Comp recall:
Pre-determined four games per week selected by AE member in which either LINES- Unders/Overs are predicted for a points system that worked well. Most points accumulated in that four week period claims the MONTHLY reward.
GG's SIMPLIFIED TEMPTATION
Same as last year's Temptation except for the following changes...
- No 3 pt bonus
- No MNF double
- No rule that you must choose 6 non-playoff teams and 4 playoff teams
- Instead, you can pick any ten teams you want
- 10 teams chosen must be chosen before week 1 and are locked (like last year).
BROKEN's HOT STREAK
Basically you have to pick a streak of winners. Pick a loser and your streak resets and at the end of the season your highest streak during the season is used to determine the winner. You don't have to select every matchup, so you can pick and choose what games you want in your streak.
I could see this working one of two ways in AE:
1)
A simple streak count.
i.e.
16 CR Titans *
15 CR Seahawks *
14 CR Jets
13 CR Browns *
12 CR Bills *
Say the Browns lose, your max. streak would be 2 (Titans and Seahawks) and your current streak would be 1 (Bills)
2)
A streak count including CR values (with a tiebreaker being the amount of teams in a streak)
i.e.
16 CR Titans *
15 CR Seahawks *
14 CR Jets
13 CR Browns *
12 CR Bills *
Say the Browns lose, your max. streak value would be 31 (16-Titans and 15-Seahawks) and your current streak would be 12 (12-Bills)
At the end of the season the highest streak value would take home the lollies.
I thought it might be a bit of added fun and keep up a lot of interest near the end of the season with streaks being alive. If you have any questions about it please let me know.
(Thanks, Broken)
OSCARMAN's 100 POINT DASH
Each week you start with 100 points and you can spread those points accordingly on TEAMS chosen on your CR selections. This includes putting 100 all on ONE team to only using a select few of teams and liberally distributing those 100 points accordingly. Most points accumulated from correct chosen WINNERS. Prefer to Oscarman of the permutations of whether it's a monthly comp or yearly comp?
ROLL TIDE
It's a combined version of Oscarman's 100 Point Dash - Broken's HOT Streak - Straight Up WIN with the fixed price incorporated. No restrictions on amount of teams chosen but you'll be crazy to go with more than four in any given week but know that each losing team is a DISCOUNT AGAINST your weekly score. Taking at least an underdog a week with a price of over $3.50 will reward your chances in any given week and you'll have a chance to butter up the following week to go ALL HOG on the ONE TEAM on 100 points if that is your desired strategy.
ie: Take three teams.. 33/33/34 points on each, into their WIN PRICE = your weekly score.
If any of those teams lose, you deduct the waged POINTS for your weekly score.
Most will take 1.80 favs meaning 33 x 1.80 = 59.4 (rounded down if under .5) = 59 If one of the 33 point waged teams lose… you deduct that from weekly total score.
So this comp allows for a ongoing prizes throughout the season provided you're the highest points earner in that THREE week period. Six weeks of this comp gives everyone a SHOT to roll the dice. We can consider eliminating DROP ZONE and High Roller and make this NEW try-week comp, to supplement the boosted prize funds left over of the six comps in previous years = 5 comps in all.
*****************************************************************************
THIS IS A MULTIPLE SELECTION POLL meaning you should carefully consider your options here. No re-voting possible. This poll will be void IF:
Less than 70 AE members have submitted a vote (in any one option) or a non-conclusive percentage of votes have not determined enough support for an outcome to include a new secondary comp or a variation of either 3XKO or NEXT DUEL.
The support of the spoken majority will require a 60% swing to override the existing 2013 listed
Note: All votes will be visibly displayed.
THIS POLL WILL CEASE on the 7th of JULY 2014.
AE14 launch to follow on the 11th JULY.
