HU TOURNAMENT LEADERBOARD SIDEBET THREAD

durron597 · #1 12-09-2005, 04:25 PM

If you are interested in participating in a NCAA-leaderboard type competition, please reply to this thread and how much you are interested in playing for (it will probably be either $100 or $500).

The bracket can be found here

Click on "Predict it!" at the top of the page, and submit your entry (you have to register). We can work out the payment details later, since they are separate from the "Predict it!" engine.

Someone should also be nominated/volunteer to hold the money in escrow (I do not want to be the one to do it).

Someone please explain how an NCAA-leaderboard type competition works.

You just pick the winners for every match all the way through - but you do it all before the first match is played. Then each winning selection is assigned a point value - maybe 1st round is worth 1 point, 2nd 2 etc. Then at the end, the person who has the most points wins. It's really simple - hope this makes sense.

The reason that the later rounds get more points is because you had to get the previous rounds right in order to get the correct answer for the later rounds (obviously).
