Posted: 10/24/09 10:45 pm ::: The return of the prediction contest |
Reply |

(It keeps coming back, like your favorite horror movie villain.)
It’s time once again for the (nearly) annual prediction contest. This is for anyone who’s brave enough to predict how your team (or teams) will do during the season. This post is the instructions; the next post is a FAQ.
Last year's top 5, for those who are wondering:
1. fancy_daniel (California) 8.1 points
2. Stephen Shirley (Middle Tennessee) 7.7 points
3. fancy_daniel (UCLA) 6.3 points
4. mercfan3 (UConn) 6.1 points
5. fancy_daniel (Stanford) 4.9 points
The entire standings are available on this thread, almost at the bottom.
Oh, yeah, the rules:
Predict your team’s record in the regular season. You can make up to six (yes, six) predictions:
Worst possible overall record
Most likely overall record
Best possible overall record
Worst possible conference record
Most likely conference record
Best possible conference record
The regular season does not include the conference tournament, so your prediction should be based on only the games currently on the schedule (except for teams in the preseason WNIT, as described below).
For tiebreaking purposes, also predict any or all of the following:
How far your team will get in the conference tournament (except for the Ivy League, where you should predict the team’s finish in the conference)
Your team’s leader in scoring*
Your team’s leading rebounder*
Your team’s leader in assists*
Your team’s leader in steals*
*All of these are totals, not averages, and are through whatever day I do the final calculations.
For purposes of this contest, all games in the preseason NIT count (which means you have to figure out how far your team will go) and you stop predicting at the end of the regular schedule (which means you don’t predict conference tournament results). That pretty much means that any team not in the preseason NIT should have 27 games.
I’m going to score the contest like this:
1 point for reaching the worst possible record
1 point for reaching the most likely record
2 additional points for hitting the most likely record exactly
1 point for hitting the best record exactly
-1 point for a record better than the best predicted record
0.1 points for getting a tiebreaker right
-0.1 points for getting a tiebreaker wrong
(No adjustment if you don’t try to answer a tiebreaker.)
Entries are due before your team plays its first game. You can enter as many times as you want, but you have to have a different team for each entry. You can enter by posting in this thread, sending me a PM on this board or emailing me at beknightedru at aol dot com. I will post all of the entries when the last team has played its first game and will provide updates along the way.
If you have questions, check out the FAQ in the next post.

The FAQ, as promised, with a brand new example.
1. Can I make the same prediction for best and likely or worst and likely records?
Sure. It may not be prudent, but I won’t stop you.
2. Do I have to predict everything?
No, but you limit the number of points you can get if you don’t predict a best record (or a likely record). If you don’t predict a worst record, I will treat the likely record as your prediction for the worst record for purposes of calculating points.
3. Is there a prize?
You’re kidding, right?
4. How many predictions can I make?
You can make predictions for as many teams as you like, but no more than one set of predictions per team.
5. Suppose I guess wrong about the preseason WNIT or just mess up the number of games?
I will give you credit for everything but the two points for hitting the likely prediction dead on if your team has the number of wins or no more than the number of losses you predict. (E.g., if you say your team’s best possible record is 22-6 and it’s actually 21-6 or 22-5, you will get credit for meeting the “best” prediction.) I will not penalize you for exceeding the “best” prediction unless your team has both more than the number of predicted wins and fewer than the number of predicted losses.
6. When will you post updates and final results?
I'll try for two updates, with the first no sooner than early January, and the final results will be posted once all games are played and all tiebreakers are decided. I will try to post the final results before the NCAA bids are announced, but that depends on my work schedule, etc. I may try to post results to a web site and update them more frequently if I can make it work. If that happens, I will let everyone know.
7. Is there some way I can keep track of how I’m doing?
See above.
8. What is your favorite color?
Blue. No, yel-- auuuuuuuugh!
(This replaces last year's laden swallow joke.)
9. How does the tiebreaker work?
You make as many of the predictions as you want. You get a tenth of a point for each one you get right, but lose a tenth of a point for each one you get wrong. This approach keeps all the players who get a certain number of points ahead of everyone who got one less point and behind everyone who got one more point.
10. Why do I get penalized if my team does better than I predicted?
Well, first of all, in that case you should be happy enough that you were wrong, and not complain. More important, the idea is to predict your team’s record accurately, so of course you should be penalized for guessing wrong.
11. Can you give me an example?
Sure. If L.D. Vol predicts that Tennessee will have a best possible record of 26-3, a likely record of 23-6 and a worst possible record of 22-7 plus a best possible conference record of 12-2, a likely conference record of 13-3 and a worst possible conference record of 10-4, and Tennessee actually goes 25-4 overall and 13-3 in conference, she'd get 2 points for the overall record (1 for hitting the worst possible record and 1 for hitting the likely record) and 4 points for the conference record (1 for hitting the worst possible record, 1 for hitting the likely record and 2 for getting it exactly), for a base total of 6 points.
If she predicted that Tennessee would reach the conference final, made no prediction about the leading scorer, said that Vicki Baugh would lead the team in rebounds, and that Taber Spani would lead in assists and steals, and the team actually won the conference tournament, Baugh led in rebounds, and Spani led in neither assists or steals, she'd lose 0.2 of a point (minus one-tenth each for the conference tournament, assists and steals predictions, plus one-tenth for the rebounding prediction and zero for the leading scorer because she made no prediction). Her final score would, therefore be 6 minus 0.2 or 5.8.
12. Remind me again, what games am I predicting?
All of your team's regular season games before the conference tournament (or, in the Ivy League, any required playoff game). DO NOT include the conference tournament.
If your team is in the preseason WNIT, you just have to guess how well it will do to figure out what to predict. Sorry about that.

Our BEast schedule is jacked up. We can either be epic win or epic fail.

"Too hard" is the operative clause.

I hate to think how much people were laughing at me last year - I ended up with 1.1 points out of a possible 8.5.

Oh, how I love Franey. If UC Davis doesn't have the huge year I think the Aggies should have, then I hope the Gauchos hang on until the second round of the NCAA regional at Arco Arena.

I'm a big fan of Franey also. We call her floor burn Franey. She even did her dive after the ball in the practice we went to.
I've been hearing a lot about UCDavis, it should be a battle this year.

NewKid,
Your numbers are not much different from mine. But, we are ranked #7. I also don't think you took a close look at our non-conference schedule.

In conference play, my best possible is your worst possible. That's the main difference. I expect more from OK than apparently many folks do. I think Griner will be amazing, but I don't think it will be this year. I am really looking forward to seeing her on TV soon, and in person later in the season.

I think Griner will be amazing, but I don't think it will be this year. I am really looking forward to seeing her on TV soon, and in person later in the season. |
New Kid,
The way I did mine was take all the games I considered tough and having us go 50% in those. Now mind you, we are ranked ahead of everyone on our schedule. So while you might say I'm "drinking the koolaid", others might say my prediction is too low.

The regular season does not include the conference tournament, so your prediction should be based on only the games currently on the schedule (except for teams in the preseason WNIT, as described below).
For tiebreaking purposes, also predict any or all of the following:
How far your team will get in the conference tournament (except for the Ivy League, where you should predict the team’s finish in the conference)
Play for the conference championship
Your team’s leader in scoring* - Dorena Campbell
Your team’s leading rebounder* - Christina Nzekwe
Your team’s leader in assists* - Dorena Campbell
Your team’s leader in steals* - Darxia Morris
*All of these are totals, not averages, and are through whatever day I do the final calculations.

We now have more entries than last year.
Just as a reminder, the preseason WNIT kicks off on November 13. I'm not sure if anyone has a game scheduled before then.

Oh, all my totals ignore the game against a D-III team, Kean University, which doesn't count for NCAA purposes, but I'm assuming it's a win.
