Final Thoughts
I would like to say a big thanks to everyone that participated and also #teamaustralia for your support!
Good luck to everyone in the next contest and I hope your team gets the chocolates :)
@stnr Good work brother!
I got the first three and got excited. Dammit.
I know that feeling
Hang in there!
Are you guys maintaining an overall leaderboard somewhere?
not for this comp there isn't. just a weekly winner. I do play on the AFL website, though my tips sometimes differ...
Hey Mate,
Now I have the google docs running I was thinking I could add in a progressive with charts etc from next season.
I would like to get a upfront paid progressive competition next year up and running as a second option to the weekly non recurring tips once we get this year out the way I can start planning :)
Needed this season to get the word out so we can move tot he next stage in 2019.
Oh the joys of 'but not over'. I think this is the second time I've gone out in the TB due to being closer, but over and out.
Congrats to @stnr for the win and maybe this week I'll get back to the top...
On a side note, what's the procedure if, as was the case of TB1 this week, both tie breakers have everyone over the margin for both of the games? Unlikely to happen, but might be something to think about as there were 6 tippers with 7/9 and none of us were under the West Coast margin. Sure only 2 of us were over the doggies margin, but it's possible...
Good point, I will have to think of a plan rather than just split the pot multiple times.
Boundary conditions and result testing. It's how my brain works.
I'd suggest if TB1 and TB2 result in no division, you could do TB1 (Over) followed by TB2 (Over) to effectively double your tie breaker options. But only in the case of ties caused by no one tipping under the margin in both.
If there is still a tie from TB1 and TB2 with people tipping under the margins, I think that's a fair tie, where I'd only be concerned about timing of tips and one user riding another user's decisions (or you know, copying their tip). One of the NFL tipping comps I've played here have an earliest tipper wins tie breaker, but it mostly makes me check if my exact tip set already exists when I'm making it. I'm not sure I'm a fan of this, but with open comments, it's possible for people to copy other people's choices. I doubt that's an issue, but it could be.
If there's still a tie, and the tips are different (so both got 7/9 but at least 1 of the games they got were different), it's still a tie even if you use 'earliest post' as a tie breaker for identical tips. You could use a 'rarest correct' tiebreaker for the different tips, prompting people to take chances on upsets, as the biggest upset would win the tie break if things got there.
Congratulations @stnr
Thanks for your support :)
