Yes folks its back, with prizes prizes prizes (well, at least a badge).
Margin Mania, from rounds 7 to 23, plus GF bonus!
The rules are:
- You need to pick a team every week, that is different from all previous weeks. You will get their winning margin for the week added to, or their losing margin subtracted from, your running total.
- You must pick a team before the bounce of the first game every week. If you don’t your team will be the one chosen by random.org
- You can't pick against the same opponent two weeks in a row.
- You can only pick each team once through the competition
- As you have picked 17 teams by the end of round 23, there is only 1 team left over. If that team wins the flag, you get the points from their biggest win for the season added on to your score, which could make all the difference at the end. Previous comps have been won with this strategy (by me!). OF course, you could leave out a low ranking team all together, and try to win without the GF bonus.
- You can play up to 3 jokers through the competition, which will double the margin for that week - a positive or negative margin, it’s doubled! You have to nominate your joker when you send in your pick. Jokers cannot be used for the Grand Final.
- If you dont use all your jokers they are forfeit!
I will post a spreadsheet detailing the scores sometime after the last game of the round and before the first game of the next round. Probably.
The winner is the person with the most points at the end of the competition.
You don't have to send your picks in for round 7 yet, I'll send a reminder next week, this post is just to get you all thinking.
Lets see if we can beat last years' winner Gralin
