Alrighty TimPig, looks like it's just you and me

Here's a fun idea. Let people enter predictions after the start of the season but penalize them points based on how many weeks late

You could also let people edit their predictions but you can go by the edited date

These are cooler kinda when I can have a sim or two to overreact to when making my preds

[jhb]

Ok we will try it BK’s way. Every sim you’re late will be 2 points off your score. The winning entry was 24 points last time so I feel that’s fair.

i wanted to suggest something this linear and simple but i think it would be so easy to enter halfway through and dominate but thats cool

ill try tomorrow

So auto -12?  Interesting, that would still get you 24 if you hit them all (ignoring 2 pt questions)

I think we should apply a cap to this.  Such as only allowing it through the first 3 or 4 sims.

[jhb]

I just want to see how it plays out

If there is some clear chicanery then deserving winners who entered on time will get their points

[jhb]

skrouse wins with 17 and tiebreaker over @bk who also had 17 despite his -6 penalty for submitting late
TimPig finishes in third with 16

Oh cool
