Now that the seeds are available --- feel free to play along! I'll put everything into a Google sheet and share the link ...

 

[PSUeng]

How is the scoring done? Points that each wrestler produces? Number of wins?

 

[pointingdogsrule]

No one told me MATH would be involved 😂😂

 

[Kale_yeah]

Huh what's 153 mean.

 

[Cali_Nittany]

Huh what's 153 mean.

Looks like a salary cap

 

[a_mshaffer]

so it doesn't matter what order of finish... just the team points accumulated by your picks.
we should figure out the opposite limit system - Like you can't go under a certain value, then you can simply use the seed#

Am I wrong? I think you need to guess the total team points that your pick is going to get and add those up for TOTAL POINTS. I'm not 100% sure though.

Each seed has a value. Think of 153 as being the salary cap. For example, because I spent $50 on Psycho and $25 on Kasak, that left me $78 to spread around the remaining 28 picks.

The common sense part of that is why I was questioning it. Everyone knows not to exceed the 153 and they need checked for errors as well so I did not see a need for it to be posted and therefor thinking it had to be something else and the total team points of that wrestler would be added up for a tie breaker.

I thought this was a pretty cool idea and I don’t know if anyone is tracking their scores and picks, but I just tabulated mine and I’m at 113 pts after Saturday. Anyone tabulate their’s thus far?

no, that would be more math....

 

[mcpat]

no, that would be more math....

You’re at 86.5 points. You have 4 finalists: 125 (4 seed), 141 (4 seed), 149 (5 seed) and 165 (1 seed). However, you may need to be deducted points for successfully picking against both Beau and Shayne in the semis.

LOL, I didn't pick against them.......just only so many points.

 

[flyinorvi]

“Just another…” - did my picks get in or was I supposed to do something with the spreadsheet? Certainly won’t matter, as my “strategy” didn’t really pan out.

 

[PSUeng]

Using the numbers above I think I have 108.5

 

[Cali_Nittany]

81 with Luke, Mes, Kasak and Bouz still going

 

[PSUeng]

So who gets bragging rights?
