2013 Tipsters Feedback

**Poit** · 12-10-2013, 02:46 AM

OK guys, how have I done running Tipsters this year? What can I do better next year? Are the any rules you think should change?

In particular, I'd like to get some feedback on the Tipsters submission form (which debuted last month for Survivor Series), before I post the Tipsters thread for TLC.

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

I'd also like feedback on these proposed changes:

Change 1:

Last year, in order to be eligible to participate, you needed to meet at least three of the following criteria:

You must have at least 750 posts.
You must have been a regular contributor to the wrestling forum for the past nine months.
You must have positive reputation.
You must have fully participated (not missing a single PPV) in the previous season of Tipsters.

To allow more people to participate, I'd like to change this so that the number of criteria is the number of PPVs you can miss without being dropped. So, if you meet three criteria, you can participate until you've missed four PPVs. If you meet none of the criteria, you're dropped after missing a single PPV. This change would mean that people who would be able to participate anyway will now have a bit more lenience with missing PPVs, and people who would not be able to participate now will be able to.

Change 2:

Last season, some of the point multiplication was kinda silly - a bonus match for a Big 4 PPV was worth x4 points, for instance. I'd like to implement one or both of these changes:

Multipliers are additive. For instance, if something is doubled twice, it would be tripled, not quadrupled.
The x2 multiplier for bonus matches will be split if there are multiple bonus matches. For instance, if there are two bonus matches, they'll both be x1.5 points instead of x2.
