What do you think about bonus runs for getting the winner correct? I know this is more like fantasy than a pick the winner but it's odd that players who pick the losers get more points.

The winner is irrelevant because you can't accrue many more points than the loser.

We already have 10 bonus runs for making 175 runs, and 20 for 200+.

I didn't want to make it like another prediction game so didn't ask you to choose the winner.

its a team game so, even if a players makes maximum runs can still be from a losing side if the the other team collectively scores more runs.

If it's about @Undisciplined nothing up another high score, he's just getting lucky here. Still a long way to go..

He wasn't the only one to pick losers but get a lot of points. Just seemed odd. Not an issue. I understand your strategy better now.

reply

It's really odd feeling when someone like him getting ahead but as it is fair and similar for everyone. There will be games when his players won't score too many runs or won't get wickets but ours will.

(May be he's an insider fixing players for him. The rumours market is hot.)

Alright. Fair enough.

Or maybe a team's runs shouldn't count unless they win.

That might be too extreme. Maybe a bonus for winning or a run penalty for losing.

reply

My goodness, that’s a lot of points. Maybe I just have a knack for getting off to fast starts.

reply

These aren't points. These are runs. These teams in IPL are just making +200 runs for fun and that's making it sound like too many. There will obviously be games with low scores and the runs will be so less for those games.

It however seems par because we'll include at least 50 games and to win you've to reach 20k runs. That makes it 400 runs/game on an average.

reply

So, I’m the only person on pace to win?

reply

Haha! Don't be too happy too early. We are only 2 games out of at least 50.

There will be so many blocks down the road.

The dark horse strikes again! Well done on the start

reply

You're 2nd on the table, definitely not a dark horse. I and @grayruby are the real dark horses here. We'll See you and @Undisciplined tomorrow. Tomorrow it will be a different story. Haha.

Samson is gone 😂😂 Me and grayruby can dance...

793, Not bad... Where does it put me on the table?

reply

I've shared the table on the round 3 game. #924868

Although the table doesn't count without a buy in. You will win 1k if you reach 20k runs.

Sure, NP. Thank you and shouldn't there be a seperate thread for updated leaderboard after every gameday? coz IPL is a very long tournament, and you'll probably need to update it regularly.

reply

That's a good idea. I'll make post where I'll thread daily points, it'll be easier for us to look at by recent in the comments.

reply

Yeah! Easier for all involved to track points and standings.
