Craig, once the competition is up and running, would it be a good idea to put those with the highest conversion rate in ascending order ?

Nope. It's a points based system. The more your willing to gamble on less likely games/odds is where you'll get rewarded! It will be ascending order but on the points ;)

However - conversion rates will be interesting as members & outsiders will be looking for the best tipster for accumulators for real money. As they aren't limited to a point or money system.

So this comp. Is very interesting in my eyes ;)

Just did a Acca on BET 365 Based on all OUR NAP selections! (Maximum 14 teams) so had to leave out Wycombe and Bradford as they were the outside odds compared to the rest. 50p acca!

What happens when a game is postponed :?

Good question. - I think it may be wise to allow the fixture to stand when it is replayed - so in otherwords, when the weekend of weekly fixture comes about again, the person/s who chose this fixture will get their usual 5 selections PLUS this fixture result added to the score if it comes in (thus meaning that for that week they will get 5 selections plus the one default selection - 6 fixtures)

is that fair.... :ayatollah:

I'd be tempted to just award the points that the person bet e.g. if it was a 5pt NAP you win 5pts.

The reason being is that form changes through the year and you never know when the game is going to be played.

That said.......Merlin is our leader and I'm happy to go with whatever you decide. :ayatollah:

wouldn't you say thats an unfair advantage though - gaining 5pts for free. when games very rarely are postponed? we need to come to a conclussion quickly though.

If a game is postponed

1) he gets his points back or 2) he makes another selection

Just a suggestion

Re: "Footy Tipping Competition" - Current Standings!

I think they should just get the extra points to use the following week.
