Crowd tipping comp - A dilemma

[Mr Ripper]

My fellow competitors, just yesterday I happened to have some correspondence from a certain nameless punter who wasn't satisfied with his/her score for last week (round 11) and wants his/her tips cancelled so he/she can be given his/her average score from previous rounds as last week's score.

Question: Should we, or should we not allow this to happen?

A yes or no answer from tipsters would be appreciated.

Its your competiton Mr.Ripper so ill let you decide. But If you ask me the answers NO.

 

[BIG POPPA PUMP]

No

 

[BIG POPPA PUMP]

but it depends on the circumstances, really. Youre being a bit vague

BTW, when will the scores be up for this rd?

 

[BIG POPPA PUMP]

...and does your first tip for the Carlton V Richmond match count or are you gonna cheat and lift your estimate up a bit?

 

[Dave]

No! Otherwise you'd have everyone who scored worse than 50K in any week wanting to do the same.

Giving people who couldn't post because of the board prob's their average was a fair call, but it shouldn't be open to abuse from those of us that did put them in simpy because someone got it wrong!

 

[Mr Ripper]

Friday, POPPA.

Gotta see who qualifies for a 'rebate' from last week's fiasco first!

Would ya be able to tell us who is ontop Ripper?
Has BPP caught ya yet?

 

[BIG POPPA PUMP]

No worries

 

[Mr Ripper]

The gap is narrowing, X_box_X! The competition organiser dropped 30,000 odd points!

No.

Having had at least 2 rounds where I would have been much better off not putting my tips in, I'd say NO.

No, if he/she tipped poorly then they deserve to lose lots of points.

IE, on the weekend i missed my tips for the first two games, which i would've tipped Essendon and Geelong to win, but because i forgot about them on footytips and the afl web-site, i didn't get a score from there. Subsquesntly i ended up with a pathetic 2 for the round, when i would've got an adequate 4.

It's my fault, not anyone else, so they shouldn't get punished for my mistake.

Since it wasn't me who was whinging, The answer is No!

 

[GoEagles]

Nope - If he/she/it was able to put his crowd tips in, then thats what should stand. I wasn't able to put my crowd figures in and I have to rely on my not so flash average - thats the luck of the draw

 

[jod23]

No

Your being pretty vague though.

 

[Mr Ripper]

Looks pretty unanimous to me. The nays have it.

Sorry, you-know-who-you-are.

 

[Mr Ripper]

See ya.
