 AFL Pickem, the 16th game to be featured on the league website is now available. Its format mirrors NFL Pickem's but with the scoring tweaked slightly to account for the scoring differences. Instead of a perfect game being worth 60 points, they're now worth 100 points. A correct pick alone is worth 60 points in AFL Pickem instead of 30 in NFL Pickem. The margin points now extend to picking within 17 points of the correct margin and having the correct margin is worth 18 points. Team score points will extend out to being within 21 points (for one point) with a correct team score prediction being worth eight points instead of the six in NFL Pickem. I hope to have a full piece about the statistical differences between NFL scores and AFL scores before the season starts (March 9th). That aside, AFL games can see a flurry of points scored in the last minute as teams try to create quick scores to give themselves another chance (a la close basketball games seeing free throws late). With that in mind, I've given more leeway on the margin and score picks while putting more emphasis on the correct result prediction. Please let me know of any mistakes or anything that needs clarification on the rules page or from the game otherwise. I'm looking for an assistant or two to help run the game this season by updating scores, I'll also need the assistant(s) to help make sure the schedule is up to date before, and throughout, the season with the correct dates and game times. Assisting me will earn you bonus points. The breakdown of how bonus points will be earned is on the game rules page (I hope to do the same for Premier League Pickem in the next month or so, it should be somewhat similar to AFL Pickem). They mirror the same methods as NFL Pickem, but without the week win rankings coming into play. My apologies to those excited for an Aussie Rules game, this is for the Arena Football League. |
