ELITE BLACK SHEEP (Elite BS) - SEASON 15 (S64)
ELITE BLACK SHEEP is a very simple game that involves a little bit of skill (maybe!) and a little bit of luck...
Elite Black Sheep is a prediction style game with a twist.
The GOAL in this game is to pick managers who will finish high in races BUT it is also picked less times for that race than other managers.
Sometimes the manager who finishes 12th to 15th (but chosen just once) will give you more points than the Elite manager who finishes 1st.
REGISTERING:
To sign-up, simply post ##join and send your picks by PM to me before the deadline - Friday April 6th @ 18:30 CET for FULL RACE 1 POINTS or Friday April 6th between 18:30 - 20:00 CET for 50% Race 1 Points.
**NOTE** Joining is still possible after Race 1. You will choose your 4 Elite Managers before Race 2 and you will begin Race 3 with 1 SWAP Available.
WHAT TO DO/SEND? All you need to do is:
1. Post ##Join in the thread.
2. Send your 4 ELITE picks by PM to me: /gb/NewMail.asp?IDM=324418
3. Make a SWAP at least once every 4 races.
DEADLINES
>Deadline to submit initial 4 picks is Friday April 6th @ 18:30 CET for FULL RACE 1 POINTS or Friday April 6th between 18:30 - 20:00 CET for 50% Race 1 Points.
>Deadline for making SWAPS each Race (after Race #1) is 20:00 CET on Race days.
I will send out reminders on each Race day, usually by 16:00 CET. If you prefer to NOT receive a reminder PM, please let me know.
RULES & SCORING METHOD
>You must select 4 Elite Managers by PM prior to Race 1.
>Each race, you may choose to SWAP an Elite manager thereby changing your roster of 4 Elite managers
>At minimum, you must make a SWAP every 4 races to avoid penalties (see SWAPs below)
Scoring formula = (41-race position) / (1.75+number of times chosen) + (GPRO points * 0.15)
Hint: As can be seen by the scoring method, picks that score GPRO points (top 8) have an additional bonus.....however, if chosen by a large majority of the entrants, their value will still decrease. A manager finishing 10th-15th, but only chosen once MAY potentially score more than a manager finishing on the podium.
See post #4 to see the chart of how you many points you can earn for each position given the number of times selected
SWAPS
After every race, you may SWAP one (1) of your 4 picks but it is NOT necessary to do so EACH race.
If you do not make a SWAP in a given race (by choice or omission), you may make two (2) SWAPS in a later race. 2 SWAPS is the limit.
At the beginning of the Season, you will be able to make 2 SWAPS before Race 2. If you make 1 SWAP before Race 2, then you will still have 2 SWAPS available to use at a later date
You are required to make a SWAP at least once every 4 races. If you fail to make 1 SWAP every 4 races your point total will be penalised by 10%. 8 races without a SWAP will see you suffer a 20% penalty
Deadline for swaps is 20:00 CET on race day. No swaps accepted after that time!! HOWEVER, RACE 1 PICKS ARE DUE BY 18:30 CET for full Race 1 Points!
There must be a minimum of 15 players for Elite BS to run this season.
Thanks for playing, Good Luck and please have fun!
A special mention/thanks to Stuart F. who was co-creator of the scoring formula.
