Message CheesedMan beers 555 º places 12 º 15:41 Tue 8/23/2011 Originally posted by TheAlum Originally posted by Guyute_Pig Originally posted by beernovice39 Last season third sent/got nothing, second got a box and winner got the rest, I think. So if we stay at 10 winner gets six boxes. I am also cool with winner take all but the top 3 system gives those that trail early a goal of breaking out at least. I vote for for the 3 system. If we have 12, 6 boxes for 1st and 3 boxes for 2nd. 3rd breaks even, gets and sends nothing. I think that will keep everyone interested and engaged for the whole season. Like this as well. As do I.
Message SoLan beers 1550 º places 12 º 16:33 Tue 8/23/2011 I don’t like the breaking even idea. You either ship beer, or receive beer. Doing neither takes half the fun out of the competition. For 12 players I would do 6 boxes for 1st, 2 for 2nd, 1 for 3rd. As a general rule, 1st place should get at least double the prize of second place, and then the rest spread out accordingly. This keeps the winner take all people (myself, ChzMan, and I’m sure at least one more of you) and the bloody socialists both appeased.

I’ve always been a fan of a special week box as well.. like a designated week where the highest scorer gets a box.. (Ex: Week 10 Highest Total Score, etc.. or something later in the season to keep those way out of it interested).. but understand I’d probably be in the minority there.
