Fantasy Proleague Playoffs



Check Who You Picked For Week 1



1. How do I play?
You will pick the winners for each individual game in each Best-of-7 Playoff Match, and also pick the winning team. You will then rank the picks on a scale of 1-8, with "1" being the most confident and "8" being the least confident.

For example, if you felt your pick of Hwaseung > WeMade is stronger than HiyA < Shine[kaL], but not as strong as Jaedong > Rock, your "Confidence Ranking" would look like this:
1. Jaedong > Rock
2. Hwaseung > WeMade
3. HiyA < Shine[kaL]


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.

The maximum number of points per Bo7 match you can score is 36, if you get all eight picks (all 7 games and the winning team) correct. There are four Bo7s for the first week.

Example: + Show Spoiler [Show Example] +
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).


3. What if all matches aren't played?
If a match isn't played it's just removed from the list and all your picks are moved up a slot (if you had a high confidence ranking for the match that wasn't played. Otherwise, everyone would rank in the same way to maximize points in case of 4-0.

4. Will this go on for the entire playoffs?
Yes, we will put up the entries as soon as new lineups are made.

This week, there are four Bo7 matches (32 total picks) you can make and rank. You will rank each Bo7 from 1-8. Do this for each of the four matches (STX vs Samsung x2, CJ vs Hite x2)

5. Is there a prize?
Other than glory, you will receive some sort of icon.



Check Who You Picked For Week 1




Deadline is right before the first PL Playoff Match, 2009-07-18 at 13:00.

Happy picking, and good luck!
P.S. look for a newspost wrap-up for Fantasy PL Round 5 soon

It'll just skip over it, as if you never picked it. All your picks move up one slot.

I love the idea but not the execution. Imputing all that information was confusing as well as disorienting. I strongly disagree that we should have to rank how sure we are about a result. Yes, it makes sense in theory, but the reality is that if you we're to ask me right now what I picked as my 6th most confident matchup for Cj entus v. Hite sparky's I wouldn't be able to tell you.

Picking the outcomes of the matches as well as who beats who would be a solid competition in itself. There is no need to get into trivial confidence measurements because they only confuse the participants of the survey as well as allow luck to become more a factor. Trust me, sometimes less is more.


Also, imagine if you will the calamity that would occur later in the tournament if jaedong lost to somebody like hyuk. It would completely throw off almost everyone's bets.

Stoked TL is doing something for playoffs. I am awful at Fantasy though, best ever was top 100 and I'm still proud of that. The fucking anti-team system has just raped me introduction.

It's not that difficult to remember what order you picked in. Write it down.

Picking the outcomes of the matches as well as who beats who would be a solid competition in itself. There is no need to get into trivial confidence measurements because they only confuse the participants of the survey as well as allow luck to become more a factor. Trust me, sometimes less is more.

The confidence ranking basically determines how many points you get, I wouldn't call that "trivial." Also, without confidence ranks, it's a lot easier to pick and there's less differentiation between teams.

Also, imagine if you will the calamity that would occur later in the tournament if jaedong lost to somebody like hyuk. It would completely throw off almost everyone's bets.

I don't see how this is a problem.

Wait, so failing to predict upsets will prevent us from doing well in Fantasy PL Playoffs?

Outrage.

Nevermind, I just realized that in a traditional scoring system, there'd be a huge incentive to rank the earlier matches higher because the later matches might not be played. I think this scoring works well.
Of course, you only live one life, and you make all your mistakes, and learn what not to do, and that’s the end of you.

What about matches that aren't played? If we pick the fifth match as our #1 and the match ends 4-0 what happens?
