0 Subject: Finals Tipping Comp

Here is one idea for a finals tipping comp. It is slightly more complicated but takes a little more work than just picking the winners.

In this comp you have to pick your winners (like you have in the regular season), and then nominate in order which teams from your picks are most likely to win.
e.g. I will use the current bottom 8 as an example
FIRST WEEK OF FINALS
Game 1 ; Sydney v Adelaide (in Sydney)
Game 2 ; Richmond v Fremantle (MCG)
Game 3 ; West Coast v St Kilda (Perth)
Game 4 ; Collingwood v Port Power (MCG)
I would pick Sydney, Richmond, WC, Port.
I allocate 4points to Sydney (my most likely winner), 3points to WC, 2 to Richmond and 1point to Port as this is the game I am most unsure about.
The way this comp will work is that if your teams win you get the points allocated and if your team loses you get negative points.
i.e. Say in the above example Sydney,Freo,WC and Coll win , I would score +4, -2, +3, -1 = 4 points
The winner is the guy with the most points at the end of the finals
If anyone has another idea I will be only too happy to go with it. This is an idea to get us started.
