Powerslam Predictions III: WWE Fantasy Predictions Game

[nightrain]

Hello there, I'm in the same boat as above and wouldn't mind joining if that's ok.  I apologise for my lack of posts but I've been really behind with my WWE lately and am now ready and caught up to hopefully make a good contribution.

Hope it's ok to join the game at this late stage, cheers.

Course it is dude, the more players the better!

when does scoring start?

HBK's big return is soon...

[Hammy]

^ What do you mean when does scoring start?  We already have one event scored...

Night of Champions Leaderboard
1. D = 91
2. EricxGNRxSTARx = 89
3. Gnrfan = 79
4. Rankin = 78
5. BlowUpYourVideo = 76
6. Evolution = 69
7. Tony = 64
8. More Cowbell = 59
9. High_times = 54
10. Izzy = 51
11. Slashfro = 43
12 James Lofton = 30

Edit: Were you thinking this was the WWE Game thread? 

[Hammy]

Here is an idea.

I think Jim and nightrain should start off with the current average score, because otherwise, having missed the 1st game they have essentially ZERO chance of winning.

Its been proven in the past 2 editions, miss a PPV or two and you are quickly out of the running, so I think its fair for late starters to get the current average. (65)

This rule would only apply for those who joined the game late, because otherwise people could use it as a tactical tool, for instance if you are top with one PPV to go, you could forget to put your predictions in and win based on the average score from the event being enough.

Thoughts?

Also remember, Summerslam this weekend, check the Powerslam Predictions Summerslam Thread for the card.  I'll probably send out the standard PM at some point this weekend to remind everyone  

[Hammy]

This looks to be the final card, so remember....

Match Order.  The Winner + Method (Pin/Sub/KO/DQ/Count Out/No Contest etc.)

In the tag matches, as well as method, who is beating who i.e. Big Show pins JTG, Triple H pins Cody Rhodes.

I think that covers it.

****. There goes my monopoly

[D]

I  run a ton of sports game that go the entire season and what I do is give everybody one BYE week where if they forget and miss, they get the average score of the PPV.

so yeah, its not only a great idea but very fair and practical.

The idea was just to use it for those who joined late.

But we could give everyone "One bye".

Like I said I only question it if someone with a decent lead heading into the last PPV uses it to guarantee victory rather than risking totally bombing....

[nightrain]

I appreciate the average score guys.  Hope everyone is ok with that.  I would have had no problem just starting from zero and seeing how I get on.  Just wanted to join up for a bit of fun and see what predictions I may get right.  I'm still pretty new to wrestling si I'm guessing I may not do too well anyway

Could have a cut off date. Or a rule stipulating it can't be used for the final one

[Rankin]

Aye thats best, can't be used on the final one.

Everyone has an "Average Score Bye" for every other event.

Obviously Jim, A Private Eye and Nightrain have already used theirs.
