Who's Going Home This Week? Contest Wk8

[Jiggymike]

Hey Grifter, I was thinking the same thing as you with the best 6 weeks thing. However, there is a big problem: the last few weeks when only one person will be going home and most people will be going 100% every week. I guess we'll have to figure something out that will be fair to everyone, because like I said I respect your percentages over the last few weeks but I also think it is a little unfair to not include the earlier, more difficult weeks as well as participation since the beginning.

Percentage wise ?

Where the hell did that come from ?

The contest IMO was always about overall totals. If you join late you are obviously at a disadvantage, but it is possible to catch up (as Grifter has shown).

Jiggy is in the lead as far as I see it.

^ I agree. Why should we reward people for coming in late. There are enough people in the contest early on to keep it fair and competitive. Also, those who were in the contest early don't have a major advantage because points were harder to earn early on. I think the eventual winner should be the one with the most total amount of points.

Actually - Points above mean are easier to get in the early going than they are as there are fewer contestants.

Oops. There was actually a 6-way tie for the Wk8 Weekly Contest:

Jiggymike

soflat
GoRedBirds

so how is the winner determined? batting average or overall total? How about a compromise overall total wins but everyone drops their 2 lowest scores.


Also its getting boring with so few combinations left, points should start becoming worth more starting final 6, something like:
Final 6 and 5 points doubled
Final 4 3x
Final 3 5x
Finale 10x
