Also jbell I found a typo in trying to find out exactly how much edge that strategy gives. Since Kane scored on the 17th I should have positive 3 not negative 3.

FYI the leaders are the guys who had the most goal scorers correct. Seems like that's really the deciding factor here.

ill check it out and im keeping the rule guys. but the leaders have also had the same score throughout. partank cruzader geerb all did pretty much the same score throughout and they are the lowest scores. now that people know it does work everyone will use that strategy which takes the fun out of the game

Guys just keep in mind it's Jbell's game

He can run it in whichever way he chooses, and as its a new concept hell obviously want to make tweaks to keep it fair for the most number of users

Either way most participants will earn fg from this, as well as various other games aside from the 2 legs that will be run

we've got plenty fg donated and lots of opportunities to give that fg away!

This is the publics game. We've all donated fg towards it.

It's not much different from picking guys like Ovechkin, Crosby, Tavares, etc for the All or Nothing pools. We do what we think will win. The real deciding factor in this game is the correct goal scorers and when the series will end.


Whatever. I'll alternate between 2-2 and 3-2 games next round. If that's allowed...

Jbell is taking his own time to set up, organize and coordinate and score everything, we all acknowledge the fact the fg donated is left up to Jbell to run the games

I can speak with jbell about setting up an additional payout for after the 1st round though so the people who made their picks however they chose to do so aren't penalized

I'm fine if people want that to be the rule but be warned people are gonna do the same thing and vary it just enough to technically be within the rules. Personally I'm going to be a lot less likely to join this game again if my entry is restricted too much.
