NCAA Pick'em

[Loftin]

Is there a way we could see an overall leaderboard that compiles every week so far?

Here's what I've done so far:
Week 1 - 18th(Score:15)
Week 2 - 17th(Score:15)
Week 3 - 62nd(Score:14)
Week 4 - 7th (Score:15)

I'd like to see this too. I know the current rules are that only weekly winners get their name entered for the Big 12 Championship tickets, but is it too late to change that? I think it would be cool if the overall winner also qualified for the tickets. That would reward the most consistent performer and not just the weekly winners.

well we could add it (probably would take a few weeks to do now that im in school). the rules wont change though because the contest was designed so that people who join midway through still have a chance to "win".

[Pflugerville Ag]

I'm not saying that it should be changed so that people who join midway couldn't win. I'm just saying that the person who does the best overall should also get one entry into the final drawing. So we'd have the winners from each week plus the person who did the best overall in the drawing for the tickets. Just my opinion.

I think P-ville is on to something. I'm definately not gonna be that person, but I think the person who compiles the overall best record or point total or however, should get a chance at it too.

This was my opinion in online chatting with Jag. I don't want to do "overall" winner, because essentially, anybody not guessing since week 1 is out of the running (just by sheer numbers).

I do like the idea and would like to do it this way.

Your correct number of picks will be divided by your number of entries (essentially giving you an average). We will make a minimum number of weeks you must have guessed -- I will say 7 (that's more than half). This way, it's fair to everybody and rewards the most consistent performer, and not the person who has had more guesses. What do you think?

That sounds awesome, I might be in the running for that one, alright!

[jagowar]

you guys must be determined to make this as hard as possible on my coding skills... ;)

I think I know a way to do it (actually a couple of ways) but its going to take some time so you might want to do this excel spreadsheet for now (as my code is going to be very very complex... much more complex than the pickem output we have now)

They figured you needed a challenge.

[gigemcru]

a = any user
b = gigemcru

if a > b then b = winner
if b < a then b = winner

[TwelfthAG]

ha, nice :D

[jagowar]

a = any user
b = gigemcru

if a > b then b = winner
if b < a then b = winner

hah... i wish it was that easy.

[gigemcru]

i know, if you need help, let me know.

I missed last week for some reason. That was pretty weird.
