Analysis/It's All About the Numbers/Fun Facts

Chart of qualifying participants' total score over time, as a percentage of the top score:


Vito Cruz was the only participant to achieve three 1st place finishes this year. Corndad, DAMN iNATOR, Exyle, and Smelly Meatball each achieved two 1st place finishes.

Poit and KaosDarksol each achieved 3rd place or better in seven different events, followed by Cuzziebro, Exyle, and Smelly Meatball at six events each.

Of qualifying participants, the median score was 8325, the mean was 8039.67, and the standard deviation was 1706.81.

Of participants who missed one event, Nicky Fives scored the highest overall with 8300 points to reach 13th place. Also missing one event were Ultra Mantis (8250 points, 15th place) and Droford (7512.5 points, 18th place).

Unlike last year, this year, every qualifying participant submitted picks for the Royal Rumble. Also, only two qualifying participants missed a PPV before Summerslam.

(Qualifying participants = people who participated in at least 7 events)

Good start to the season, but we got a ways to go.

I put mine before the Pre-show match started :(

Sorry man. The rule is that the deadline is when the preshow starts, not when the first preshow match starts.

Alright, not a bad start.

Retaining my fourth place position like a boss / regional assistant manager.

6th in the world, good start, one less than last year but hey, bring on the next 11 months

<font color=goldenrod>Wow, pretty surprised I won. I knew I had gotten most of the bonus points right but still whiffed on stuff like the Kalisto/Del Rio match.</font>

If the Rumble match wasn't a bonus match, we would've tied.

Damnit Mercenary.

I think I started toward the lower-midcard last year, but this year, 1st event top 20, I'll take it.

I'm making sure I stick with it this year. the latter half of 2015 I didn't post much, trying to get back into it. I likes yous guys.

Fucking hell do I know wrestling or do I know wrestling?

I haven't followed Tipsters for years - does it include the live specials/NXT Takeovers or just the main roster PPVs?

It doesn't include NXT or "smaller" live specials, but it did include Elimination Chamber last year.

not the greatest of starts god damn it

Not at bad start for me, hell could have been worse lol.

Updated for Fastlane.

You fucking rock!!

Good stuff, 4th place...I think I did bad at Mania so it wont last

Nice to take the first 2 shows of the year despite barely paying attention to WWE at this point.

Pretty sure I bombed big time at Mania then again most probably did as there were some very surprising results.

get on your shit.

I wanted to say something, but didn't want to come off as a dick.

Clearly that didn't stop JimmyMess.

a simple "bump" would have sufficed to draw attention. "Get on your shit" is rude. He does this for free during his free time.

The emotional safe space thread is that way <----

UPDATE THE GOD DAMN FUCKING TIPSTERS STANDINGS!!!!!!!








please.

At least Gertner is a fucking gentleman about it. Ppl should really aspire to post like him.

relax gang, k?

Wish Heisenberg posted this post so I could respond with

"Heisenberg says relaaax!"

It's only Tipsters guys. Chill.

This is life!!! :) (Poit is fucking awesome he knows this!)

:fu::fu::fu::fu::fu::fu::fu::fu::fu::fu:

TIPSTERS & GREEN DOT REP 4 LYFE!!!!!

Was there a sign up or something? I played but am not on the rank. I haven't been on in awhile but now with more free time and boredom I'm trying to be more active.

Sign up was the first PPV of the year....Royal Rumble.

Only tipsters?????? Only tipsters?????? You sonofabitch

Updated for Battleground.

I'll be going back through the previous PPVs to score them.

I'm not in the standings

3rd in the world......where are the other results?

You didn't participate in Tipsters for the Rumble or Fastlane. For Battleground, none of the submissions had your name on it. Did you enter your username incorrectly?

Proposal for a small new rule:

For events where the PPV and kickoff show start early (Wrestlemania, Summerslam), submissions made after the kickoff show start time, but before the time kickoff shows usually start, will not mean getting a score of 0 for the entire PPV. Instead, you will get a score of 0 for all kickoff show matches, as well as any matches on the main card where stipulations are set or announced during the kickoff show; full points will be available for all other matches.

Any objections?

Sounds very fair. Nobody gets a possible unfair advantage and gives some leeway in case unexpected real-life stuff happens to make the picks late.

Updated for Summerslam.

Updated for Wrestlemania, Payback, Extreme Rules, and Money in the Bank.

The standings are now up-to-date.

Updated for Backlash.

I forgot to do the last 2 PPVs, can we just assume that I would have got all the picks right?

No.

Fun fact: if you had tied for 1st place for both of the previous PPVs, you would currently be in 2nd place overall for the year.

Let's assume I did that. Plus got some bonus points for good behaviour, putting me ahead into 1st place.

No.

Poit 4 Meanest Poster

Tied for 1st this time, fuck yeah, I'll take that! Especially since this is the first Tipsters PPV prediction since like Bragging Rights 2009 PPV, IIRC.

Just out of curiosity, if they reverse the decision tomorrow night and Ambrose wins via DQ, are you changing the points results to reflect that?

If that happens, I'll check to see if that's come up before in Tipsters.

Didn't happen, so no issue there, thankfully for me here, even if it means a disappointing finish in TPWW Survivor.

Updated for Clash of Champions.

That's a lot of .5 scores.

damn it...forgot again. oh well wasn't gonna win anyway. need to come here more often.

Poit, I submitted a Clash of Champions pick sheet

The comeback is on! LOL

Updated for No Mercy.

3rd place gone, better pull my finger out at the next ppv

I went against my better judgement and chose Miz to win.

Stupid me.

Updated for Hell in a Cell.

Poit not fucking around with these scores. Record time on that one.

BADA-BOOM! 'SHOT & SMEAT THE REALIST GUYS IN THE ROOM!

Updated for Survivor Series.

Fun fact: When setting up the submission form for a PPV, I input some dummy data to test the form. For Survivor Series, that test data got 4th place (with 550 points).

Pleasantly surprised to win for Survivor Series, in top 10 for now, but feel nervous that I will totally "'F' up" on TLC & Roadblock and finish in some abysmal spot yet again.

Updated for TLC.

Nice little rebound from my Survivor Series disaster.

Poit's in the lead. The fix in.........somewhere. :shifty:

Nah, just kidding dude. :p We appreciate what you do.

been a good year thanks Poit.. will make sure next year I don't miss any pay per views might make my score a little better.

My Slick Damo gif should count as my submission sheet, although my picks sucked ass yet again

SHIT...slipped down to 11th. I better knock Roadblock out of the park if I want a Top 10 finish in 2016.

Scores have been updated, along with end-of-year analyses.

The winner of this contest, and NEW TPWW Tipsters Champion... Poit!

STD scoring a 0 seems appropriate.

Congrats.

As the previous Tipsters champion here is your belt and a backup belt in case the first one gets lost during next year.

I call shenanigans. :shifty:

Also, I'm relieved to have finished in the top 10, but I vow to do better in 2017. You have all been put on notice.

I was the lowest placed out of everybody that played every PPV. Not sure if I'll play next year, the PPV every 2 weeks deal kinda makes it a chore rather than an enjoyment.

4th place finish after being 3rd most of the year, better than 5th last year so yes bring on Tipsters 2017.

STD did not participate this year. I posted before the match on the pre-show at the Royal Rumble. Should have been good enough.

I did not get a 0. I got nothing.

I will be back in 2017 and I will be the winner!

The fix is in
