I've always liked this payout structure as well. Incentivizes winning the whole thing but leaves a few crumbs for 2nd and 3rd.
Got it bomber. I would definitely prefer a steep curve payout if anything at all. Similar to the proposed 500/200/100 or 650/100/50, adjusted for actual numbers. I asked for that.
We did a football pool that was pick'em and top 3 got paid, but was broken up into 4-4-4-5 mini-seasons which each had their own champion. Made it so even someone who started off poorly stayed interested until the end. We could do Italy, Spain, Fly Aways, etc. -Marketing Guy
Sign me up, please. I'll keep an eye out for the notification... didn't see anything on the website yet. Anything else I need to do/know?
I have to admit that the pot is looking juicy enough to almost make up for the stress. Why couldn't you do this the past couple of years? Damn, season hasn't even started yet and you're taking shots at Big Bird. With the way the points are set up, it's almost always goes down to the final round. And I'm saying "almost" just to hedge myself here. I don't remember anyone ever clinching before the final round, and we've played for a lot of years now.
Have you all sent your money? I'm pretty sure we're all exactly at the same point in the process right now.
We do a similar thing for an NFL pick league at work but you're not eligible if you miss a week so you can't just give up halfway through and get half your money back... not sure how we'd prevent someone from just picking the satellite squads all up front to "win" that though...
Just want some clarification on a few things. $50 per round, with a payout every round? Or $50 per round with a payout for winning the championship at the end of the year? Where/who do I send money to? (receipts?) Do I have to enter a League name when signing up on the motogp.com website? ( I haven't found a spot to sign up yet) Thank you, Phil
It will be one single $50 PayPal to dsapsis when he's ready. There is not sub-league on the official MotoGP site. We've always kept track of things right here in the season thread. Payout after the final race of the season.
