    Sabres Gameday Prediction Contest

    Ok, I'm going to run it this year...but I'm going to put all the rules up front so there can be no complaints.

    for those who weren't around last year. Before every Sabres game, you predict who wins that nights game and the score in the game prediction thread.. If you are the closes, you will receive 1 point. Who ever has the most points at the end of year will win. Here are some rules that are up for discussion...

    1. You must predict the correct winning team to be in consideration...IE...You predict Buffalo 4 Boston 3 but Boston wins 4-3...you don't win.

    2. You must post your prediction BEFORE the game starts.

    3. The closes to the correction score wins a point for that game...IE: you predict Bufflao 4 Boston 3 and Buffalo wins 5-2, you score for that game is 2 and you are the lowest and you win for that game...you can go over or be under to get credit. All ties will both earn a point.

    4. If nobody is with in 5 points for a game, NOBODY wins...IE; Sabres blow out Ottawa 13-0 and everybody is over 5 points for the game, no winner.

    5. Anybody can start a Prediction thread and I'll recognize it but it has to be within 24 hours of the start of the game.

    6. If you guess the score dead-on with the correct winner, I'll give 2 points.

    7. at the end of the season, 1st place wins 20000zbs, 2nd win 10000zb and 3rd 5000zbs. All ties will split the winnings. ( I don't' have that many ZB's).

    Did I miss anything?

          New rule, you have to post your prediction in the CORRECT thread for it to count.

                    First, this is what number 3 SHOULD say.

                    Well, I think you could be a little lenient with the start of the game rule if you want, but that would be your discretion. I know some people might forget and post it 15 minutes after the start or, like I did last year, post a score sometime during the first period after the Sabres were losing 2-0 and I predicted a win. (But that's just me )

                    In all seriousness, you COULD give extra bonus points for correctly guessing an overtime game or a shoot out game. Maybe a half point if you guess overtime or shootout. As long as the score predicted has a possibility for overtime or shootout.

                      Re: Sabres Gameday Prediction Contest

                      So if the Sabres win 4-3 in OT and you guess Buffalo 3-2 OT, you want a .5 point?

                        It's just a thought.

                              New rule...I'll give .5 a point if you guess OT and you get the winning team right and they win in OT. I'll give 2.5 points if you get the right team and the right score in OT. For example...you guess Sabres 5-4 OT and Sabres win 4-3 OT, you get .5 points...if the Sabres win that game 5-4 OT, you get 2.5 points. I'll still give .5 points even if you aren't the closes for that game as long as you get the team right.
