2012-2013 HHCC Scoring and Rules

[UsAlways_AJS]

HHCC SCORING:

The object of the game is to have the lowest accumulated points at the end of the year.

Scoring is taken from three variables (margin of victory, actual score, correct game winner); with possible bonus points.

• Margin of Victory: This is how many points either team wins by.
  
  • Scoring: Difference between Actual MoV (Husker score & Opponent score) Predicted MoV (Predicted Husker score & Predicted Opponent score). This is then multiplied by 2.
    
  • Bonus: There is a -5 bonus for correctly predicting margin of victory. To get the bonus two things must happen. 1. Your margin of victory must match the actual margin of victory. 2. You picked the correct winner.
    
    • EXAMPLE
      

Prediction: NU 79 Opponent 72

Actual: NU 72 Opponent 62

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

(Actual (72 62) = 10 - Predicted (79-72) = 7) = 3 * 2 = 6

MoV = 6

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

• Actual Score: This is the final point totals of both teams.
  
  • Scoring: (Predicted Husker score vs. Actual Husker score) + (Predicted Opponent score Actual Opponent score)
    
  • Bonus: There is a -5 bonus for correctly predicting either the Huskers score or the opponents.
    
    • EXAMPLE
      

Prediction: NU 79 Opponent 72

Actual: NU 72 Opponent 62

------------------------------------------

(79 72) + (62 72)

7 + 10 =

Actual Score 17

------------------------------------------

• Game Winner: Picking the correct winner.
  
  • Scoring: Zero points for correct winner. 10 point penalty for incorrect choice. (Example: 0 point penalty, predicted: NEB actual: NEB)
    

The final score for this game would be 23.

Correctly predicting the actual game score nets all -5 bonuses and a -25 bonus.

Missed Game:

Your score for missing a game is (the highest score of picked games + 25 points).

End of year:

1. Your highest score will be subtracted from your final point total.
   
2. No Games Missed equals a -25 bonus to your final score.
   

HHCC RULES:

1. All new HHCC game threads will be posted following the previous game. The first game will be up after the last exhibition game.
   
2. Post your prediction in the HHCC thread.
   
3. All predictions must be in by tipoff.
   
4. Any corrections to your prediction should be done in the HHCC game thread. If you are unable to edit your score, just quote your previous score and post the new score underneath.
   
5. All score updates will eventually be posted. Hopefully sometime between games, but not always possible because of games being close together and/or other things going on.
