Going forward with the predicition league how do you think your position should be calculated?

Win %
The leader is the person with the highest percentage of wins from the number of matches predicted.

Points
As it is now, 1 point for a correct prediciton with the highest points member top.

Other
Reply with another method of calculating it that you think might work better.


The reason for this is due to the people that have missed the first two events starting well behind everyone else, if we keep it the same it'll be extremely hard for them to catch up on points, but if we go off the Win % then it'll encourage people to join as they wont start out way behind.

What'd you think?

dude go with the % basicly, i felt i HAD to predict the TNA ppv when i dont even know who half of the ppl involved where etc so it was all pure guess, this way i'd not have to guess something i have little to no chance of getting right where as wwe i have a better chance.

that or have a wwe and a tna league

Think I might go with the % option, so it goes off the percentage and number of matches secondary to give the advantage to members who have voted on more matches.

Percentages with a -10% deduction for every 2 or 3 events they skip. It eliminates the chances of someone staying at the top of the list with a single lucky guess, and not following the promotion wont be a valid excuse.

I'll try doing wins / matches = win percentage.

Then if they haven't submitted any predictions within the last 30 Days they'll be deemed inactive and wont show in the table.

Think that'll work?
