2006-2007 Bowl Challenge - Rules

General Rules: You are allowed to enter as many times as you like. Feel free to make several serious entries, coin-flip entries, or entries that follow a mathematical patern (Fibonacci Seqence, for example). Just make sure to give each entry a unique name.

Prize: Bragging rights for the next year.

Scoring: 50 pts for each correct pick plus a Confidence Bonus. The Confidence Bonus system works as follows: Each team has a percentage meter. This is the percentage of entries that have picked that team to win the game. Look at our example bowl below.

Cereal Bowl Peter's Park - Jul. 19, 3 a.m. - ESPN 8 "The Ocho"
85.00%	U of Statesota	0	vs.	222	Statesota Tech	15.00%

85% of all entries picked University of Statesota to win, and only 15% picked Statesota Tech. The Confidence Bonus is 100 pts - Percentage meter. That means that since Statesota Tech won the game, the entries that picked them will earn 50 pts for the correct pick plus 100 - 15 = 85 pts for a total of 135 pts. This system rewards entries for correctly picking a team that is not favored to win.

Editing Entries: Once you submit an entry, it cannot be changed. Sorry, but I do not have time to implement such a system. If you really want to change something, you are welcome to make another entry. Remember, this is all just for fun!
