Cogs Tipping Comp FINALE
« on: May 14, 2013, 06:48:13 am »
Ok peeps. It's the final week. Hold onto your butts. The nature of this week could make or break your score as there is a total of 7 points up for grabs. Now, make sure you read the tipping guidelines CAREFULLY. Also, the ladder has so far changed almost every day since it's beginning so be ready to repost your votes if it happens again.

Aside from that is should be a fun week.


Tipping posts MUST be set out as follows (I took the liberty of putting in teams this weeks example for clarity. I flipped a coin for the winner.):


Quarter Finals

Match A: Pastafarians over Merry Northern Storm
Match B: Black Flight Squadron over Polaris Company
Match C: The Gentlemen over The Brood

Semi Finals

Match A: The Paddling over The Pastafarians
Match B: Black Flight Squadron over The Gentlemen

Finals

Final: The Paddling over Black Flight Squadron
3th: The Gentlemen over The Pastafarians


[Any and all comments should be here.]


IMPORTANT: No hedging your bets. You're predicting the tourney as a WHOLE. If you tipped Pasta over MNS then you must tip a Paddling vs Pasta match NOT a Paddling vs MNS. If you don't understand or have any questions feel free to post them below.




Get tipping! Hand have a happy Final.

How does it work with tipping your own matches here?

Yes that was a problem I thought might come up. Any way I looked at it had the same problem though :/ Unfortunately after the first round you will run into roadblocks.

All the advice I can give is tip what you feel comfortable with. And I'm sorry if this means that you miss out on some points but at the moment I see no concrete solution that's fair for everyone.

Just to clarify there was never a rule against tipping your own matches. This has always been the Tipping Comp policy.

Maybe you just can't tip against your own team? If you're confident in a win you won't be losing any points ;)

I agree that we don't need extra rules around matches that you are in, and that just tipping assuming you are correct is the way to go, if you are not confident enough in your predicted outcomes to tip based on them, then why chose them in the first place ;)

Less over complicated rules the better!

Go big or go home I guess. Just realized I am almost entirely underdog voting here.

Match A. PaFa over MNS.------ Zill is talented but not as good as pretended. The PaFas have really been proving themselves up to par with Zwaene back.
Match B BFS over Polaris. ----- I think the Polaris surprise may be beggining to wear thin and BFS will surely have gotten their act together by this weekend.
Match C Brood over Gents. -----I feel Jace and I really have a shot against this powerhouse of a team.Jace and I are quickly becoming not just game veterans but also competitive veterans and are getting much better with working together as opposed to both trying to be good on own.


Semi-final A Paddling over PaFa. ----- sorry PaFa's you know I love you but I just don't see Squash and Smollet going down.
Semi-final B Brood over the BFS. ----- History is on our side! in 100% of matches played between the BFS and the Brood at Duel at Dawn have gone way of the Brood.

Final Brood over Paddling. ----- Jace and I have been the paddling's target practice for months now. There is not a thing that they can do that can surprise us.
3st. PaFas over BFS. ----- PaFas have shown they can fight on this map effectively.

Jace, just letting you know that your 3st prediction has to be from PaFa vs BFS the way you picked it or that match won't count toward your score.

No hedging.  :P
