2017 Prediction Contest - Green Mountain

[discallday]

MPO - Thought it might be fun to shake things up with just a few tournaments to go - maybe eliminate the consistent top finishers from consideration. Pick four players. The order of your selections is not significant.

Places 1-4 receive no points
5th Place - 7 points
6th Place - 6 points
7th Place - 5 points
8th Place - 4 points
9th Place - 3 points
10th Place - 2 points
11th Place - 2 points
12th Place - 1 point
13th Place - 1 point
14th Place - 1 point

FPO - Pick two players. The order of your selections is not significant.

1st place receives no points
2nd Place - 5 points
3rd Place - 4 points
4th Place - 3 points
5th Place - 2 points
6th Place - 1 point

Bonus 1 - Will McBeth, Wysocki, & Lizotte all finish in the top 5 spots? - 5 points
Bonus 2 - Will Pierce and C. Allen both finish in the top 3 spots? - 3 points

Oh, and I guess it starts tomorrow. So, you may wait until after the first round to post predictions.
Predictions due before Thursday, September 14.

If it's not to late. I will swear my innova calendar at work said this event starts today as in Thursday...??? Oh, well.

This has happened a couple of times this year, where the start date moves by a day from what was announced at the beginning of the year. I'll allow these last two submissions.

 

[discallday]

Shucks, I almost included all of the Nates. Oh well. Keep it up, Perkins.

 

[discallday]

Since McBeth is out, I'm thinking about only dropping the top 3 spots, and 4th place gets max points. Nobody picked Paul, so I'm assuming that nobody would be too offended by this; Assuming that it doesn't hurt their score. Thoughts?

 

[discallday]

Well, it doesn't benefit me (because I didn't pick Leiviska), but I think I will go ahead and drop the top 3 players, instead of the top 4. The intent was to get people to pick players other than McBeth, Wysocki, Lizotte, and (I guess) Sexton. This didn't work quite as planned because the event started a day earlier than I had on the calendar. Oh well. Unexpectedly having the player (arguably) who was the most likely to make the top 4 drop out should likewise shift the number of top spots that aren't counted in this contest. At least I think so.

But I would of course read arguments to the contrary that are submitted soon.
