NBO? NBA Chance 0-9 pool

Thanks for the heads up, but I'm going to pass on this one. I told my wife I wouldn't join any new BIFs (technically, re-upping in the NFL doesn't count, right?) for a while, so I need to pass. Funny though, I enjoy the NBA.

 

This is brilliant. I'm in if I can have the Rockets.

And I have a (small) LIF box of Houston locals for the team that gets the fewest distinct numbers, or the last team to get all ten.

 

This is actually exactly my excuse too. Sorry @hansenm72 , this sounds like a lot of fun though. Next year!

 

The degenerate in me can't help but signing up. Let's go with 'Utah Jazz' for 100, Alex.

 

Had wanted to the Celtics, I actually should skip this, not buying/drinking as much beer as I used to

 

Sigh... In. Blazers please.

Just to be clear;

1) Most unique scores by the all-star break wins a box of 44oz from everyone else? Same for after the all-star break?

2) Tie breaker is what?

Good question on a tiebreaker, my .02 is the highest score, which sets up easy 2nd, 3rd, etc tiebreaks as you go down the list.

 

That or most total points would be my suggestion.

Im fine with whatever.

 

I only want to risk one box in this BIF so I would be for the original concept of half people ship at all-star break and the other half people ship end. I am little confused though on how determined who ships each half, because if 12 people are in and 5 people ship first half and one winner that was half the group. 2nd half would be other half? but if the winner comes out of the first half than 6 people ship?

 

*Disclaimer: As a non-participant lurker, feel free to tell me to F off at any time.

I never quite understood the "half ship in the first half, half in the 2nd half" concept either; you could just do the bottom 6 (if 12 participants) ship both halves, which means some might ship twice and some not at all; I assume that distribution of unique scores, especially with varying game totals, should take care of the randomness, it's not like we're talking about conference standing.

Now that I mention conferences, while it makes half the season uninteresting for half the group at a time, another idea (given that 12 participants are split evenly) is to split it into East/West groups, East conference ships 1st half, West conference ships 2nd half.

Last idea I'll throw out there is to scrap the half-season approach entirely and make it a single season-long competition, winner take all (or maybe a runner up and 10 boxes go out)

 

I'm in with the Oakland Warriors

 

Tiebreaker in the HR league I was in was team to complete the series in the lowest number of games. If a second tie breaker is needed after that, perhaps total points? Just a suggestion

 

For HRs that's a great solution, but for "most unique scores in games" I'm not sure how "fewest games to get the most different scores" would really work

 

@Lehighace06 Are you getting in this thing ? or just commenting on how it should be ran ?

 

First of all, I'm not saying how it should be ran, I'm just throwing ideas out there to help out. Secondly... I'm still thinking about it, like others I have a hard time caring about the NBA even with beer riding on it.

This offer still stands.
