2. How does scoring work?
You will receive one point per confidence rank you correctly predict. If you get a pick wrong, all confidence ranks after that do not count towards your score. In the above example, the maximum points you could score is 6, if you get all three correct.
But if you get Jaedong > Rock incorrect, it doesn't matter if you get the other two correct, you score 0. So make sure to be very careful when you make your "most confident" picks. Every correct pick allows you the opportunity for more correct picks.
All confidence ranks after that - you mean increasing values of them, or just rest of the choices?
I don't get this, say these are my picks:
I get go.go's match right, but fail at Horang's.Would i still recive points for Effort's match, in case of getting it right?( becouse Horang's had higher confidence rank - I was less confident).
If it is like i understood, doesn't that basically mean the best choice for confidences ranks should be dropping from 8 to 1?Least chance to fail and not recieve points for next one, if you get it right.

I mean confidence ranks increasing in value, not the physical location of them on the page. I'll clarify that in the OP. In your example, if you get go.go's match and Effort's match right, you'd receive 9 points (5 for go.go's, 4 for effort's). Horang's match doesn't impact those two. However, if you were to get go.go or Effort's match wrong, then you'd receive no points for Horang's (and no points for #6-7, whatever those are), regardless of whether you get Horang's right or not.
For instance, if this was your rank:
Confidence 1: 2+2=4 CORRECT
Confidence 2: 1+1=2 CORRECT
Confidence 3: 3+3=6 CORRECT
Confidence 4: 4+4=8 CORRECT
Confidence 5: 2+2=99 INCORRECT
Confidence 6: 1+1=2
Confidence 7: 1+1=2
Confidence 8: 1+1=2
Since your Confidence 5 pick was incorrect, your Confidence 6-8 picks don't give you points, regardless of whether you got them right. You'd only receive points for the correct answers 1-4, for a total of 10 points (1+2+3+4).

Thank god for editing, I just realized that in my post-work haze I inputted all of my picks in the exact wrong order.
|
This is a really cool idea of scoring, thanks as always for hosting such fun fantasy leagues.

I did that the first time as well, lol. I'm not really clear on how it works (not that I read the explanation offered in this thread), but whatever, it's not like I need to know scoring criteria to make picks

This will be fun, good luck to everyone

Why are there two links per matchup?
Edit: 2 days, duh, haha.

I can't wait for PL Playoff hopefully I get to see it live (VOD's just don't feel the same). I feel confident about my picks...but first I have to sign up.

woooh
I'm done
didn't put in more effort than like 3 minutes in to this, I'm probably gonna fail hard
I even decided to go really crazy and bet on Samsung over STX in game 1 ^^
[spoiler = spoiler of todays matches]
sweet I guess predicting Samsung to win wasn't so stupid after all
but I still failed so badly: For example I predicted everything correctly in the CJ vs Hite match except for two matches, so yeah I got 6/8 right - how many points do I get?
Zero, because the two games I got wrong (Effort+ Leta) were on confidence lvl 1 and 2 xD
oh boy

HB steals all his ideas from SC2GG. 
(The format's actually pretty common for fantasy leagues)

all hail to the master of nagging

This format is so hard, I just tried doing my teams. Took some real brainpower, but I doubt I'll do well.
|
If the first game of the set is my #8 confidence and I picked wrong, my #1-7 confidences are still viable, right?
|
Yeah, if it helps just pretend the games (the ones that actually get played) go in order of your own ranking.
