maligned Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 So you think you can Punk the Genius POTENTIAL Ratings? Have at it. Last year, Genius missed several sectional picks; so I'm sure it will happen again. Here's the game: Simply pick 5 sectional winners that are different from Genius's picks below. Then, list your 5 picks in the order that you have the most confidence. (Example: 1. Reitz, 2. Columbus E., 3. Connersville, 4.Lake Central, 5.Mishawaka). Then, if your number one pick is right, you get 10 points, 9 for number 2, 8 for number 3, and so on for the 5 picks. No entries or editing after 8am EST on Saturday. We'll calculate the winning entry on Saturday night or Sunday. So...who can Punk the Genius? 1. East Chicago Central Favorite: Munster Next: Lake Central (-19) 2. Calumet Favorite: Merrillville Next: Hobart, Griffith (-100+) 3. Crown Point Favorite: Crown Point Next: Hanover Central, Lowell (-100+) 4.

xgamehoss Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 To fully incorporate the power of the genius ratings (and to what degree a player overcame them)....why not institute a reverse multiplier to calculate scores? For example: On someone's #1 pick, if they are correct, multiply by 5 the number of points the champions were underdogs according to the Genius. On a #2 confidence pick, multiply by 4, the points that the winning team was "supposed" to lose by. That would reward the handicappers that really outwit the rankings, rather than just choosing the mildest (and therefore, most likely to win) underdogs.

I thought about doing something like this, but we published the ratings a little later in the week than we'd planned--so I went with a simple and straightforward system (so people can just enter quickly). Maybe next year! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
