I'll get the site/webapp up and running again soon enough.
Same rules - be sure to guess before the time of the game.
It'll be under the same url as last year:

Re: GTS 2021-22
Assuming first game that counts is the Mich State game?

Re: GTS 2021-22
Yes.
And if you have voted here you start the season with negative one point ( which is a good thing ).

Re: GTS 2021-22
- Predictions must be made BEFORE the start of the game. This doesn't mean tip - it means the time listed on the website. Predictions submitted after that time won't count. The guessing will be locked.
Your Guess will be counted is the latest one, assuming it is posted before tipoff.
SCORING: The points you receive will be based on two factors: margin of victory and actual score. Margin of victory is weighted twice as much as the actual score. Absolute value of the difference is used. (NOTE - this is the same as in prior years)
Example:
--------
Predicted score:
KU 74
KSU 64
Actual:
KU 90
KSU 87
Margin of victory:
------------------
Predicted (74-64) = 10
Actual (90-87) = 3
Points = (10-3)*2 = 14
Actual Score:
-------------
KU (90-74) = 16
KSU (87-64) = 23
Again absolute value of the numbers are used so no negatives!
Total Score:
------------
14 + 16 + 23 = 53
THIS CONTEST IS LIKE GOLF - LOW SCORES ARE GOOD; HIGH SCORES ARE BAD.
Exceptions:
-----------
- If you incorrectly choose the winner of the game you will receive a score of 100.
- You will receive a score of -50 points for guessing the EXACT score for each team. Remember, low score = good.
- It is possible to pick the right winner but be so far off on the margin of victory that you get a score greater than 100. Since it doesn't seem fair to penalize a correct winner guess more than one that is wrong, the score for a correct winner guess will be capped at 99.
- Lastly, if you fail to submit a guess for any game (or if it is late), your score for that game is 100.

Re: GTS 2021-22
No actual score in yet.
So basically it's reading as if you all voted but got the result completely wrong - hence 99 points for everyone.

Re: GTS 2021-22
I'm going to sticky this ( sorry all ) for today just to be sure people who want to play see it.
I also added it to the index page navigation.

What a shitty start to this for me.

Re: GTS 2021-22
Not as shitty as last season's champ.
Re: GTS 2021-22
