POTENTIAL CHANGE TO SCORING SYSTEM FOR "RWTD"

[Rebel-Fan-74]

I was watching College Game Day and noticed they made a change to to the SUPERDOG and I think I like what they did and I wanted to get some feedback from some of you folks.

The way it works now, an upset is an upset and it gets you 5 points. It doesn't matter if is a a 3 point DOG or a 33 point DOG. What I'm thinking is instead of giving the 5 points to every underdog that is a winner; what about giving the spread that Mister Doodles shows as the score. Pick a bigger upset, you get more points....

Open to other suggestions as well (as long as I can make the spreadsheet work). Give me some feedback and for those who want to say we can't change scoring after the season has started, why can't we? There are no prizes and if we want to make the game better and more fair and more fun, I say we change it when we want to change it... now if there was $$ involved, it would be different.

EDIT: I redid things using this potential scoring system (I still have to do some quality control double checking on formulas to make sure the formulas are correct) so that you could see what the changes would look like in real life examples. Take a look at them and let me know what you think!

AND THIS IS NOT THE ONLY PLACE WE CAN MAKE CHANGES.....

PROVIDE FEEDBACK ON OTHER CHANGES YOU WOULD LIKE TO SEE, AND IF SOMEONE WANTS TO STEP UP AND TAKE CHARGE OF THE IDEA [EVEN IF YOU DIDN'T HAVE THE ORIGINAL IDEA] IT MIGHT HAPPEN!

Some have mentioned having a SCPREPTALK POLL or POLLS, well the only way that happens is if we have voters who submit legitimate votes on a weekly basis and "SOMEONE" compiles and posts the results. Well EHSMeanGreen and I both are pretty good with an Excel spreadsheet and can help you set one up to run your POLL or POLLS if you need help and publishing them.

There are others who likely have a good idea or two but never knew how to make it happen. Contact us through this thread or send us a Private Message and tell us what you would like to see added.

I think that rewarding the bigger upset makes sense, particularly after week 2 or 3 and Doodles' accuracy goes up.

So far I like how doodles rates my Trojans. A. Underdog to Clover, a 56-12 win. This week an 8 point favorite over Nation Ford. It’s not Lacrosse.

In fairness I don’t have a clue about the quality of any team outside my geography.

SO....

What are your thoughts people

[Bleedinblackngold]

I like the idea 74.

[mikey]

Sounds fair..makes sense..

[Rebel-Fan-74]

I'll do it both ways this week and start next week with the new scoring system....

I'm good with whatever.
