2015-2016 HHCC Scoring and Rules

[HuskerFever]

HUSKER HOOPS CENTRAL CHALLENGE IS BACK!

 

First off, give props to ASCHusker for all of his hard work on making HHCC a success the past few years. No matter how good or bad we are playing in any given year, this is a fun way to keep it interesting throughout the season.

 

We're going to maintain the same rules that were in place last year, but there may be a few opportunities to earn some additional points from time to time.

HHCC SCORING AND RULES

 

If you want to be part of the HHCC….all you need to do is guess the score of each game.  There will be a thread available following the completion of the previous game.  Scoring is based on how close you were to each team's actual point total and the margin of victory.

 

Please note I have doubled the penalty for picking the wrong team.  Went from 10 to 20.

 

HHCC GAME SCORING:

The object of the game is to have the lowest accumulated points at the end of the year.

Scoring is taken from three variables (margin of victory, actual score, correct game winner); with possible bonus points.

• Margin of Victory: This is how many points either team wins by.
  • Scoring: Difference between Actual MoV (Husker score & Opponent score)  Predicted MoV (Predicted Husker score & Predicted Opponent score). This is then multiplied by 2.
  • Bonus: There is a -5 bonus for correctly predicting margin of victory. To get the bonus two things must happen. 1. Your margin of victory must match the actual margin of victory. 2. You picked the correct winner. 
    • EXAMPLE

Prediction: NU 79 Opponent 72

Actual: NU 72 Opponent 62

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

(Actual (72 62) = 10 - Predicted (79-72) = 7) = 3 * 2 = 6

MoV = 6

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

• Actual Score: This is the final point totals of both teams.
  • Scoring: (Predicted Husker score vs. Actual Husker score) + (Predicted Opponent score Actual Opponent score)
  • Bonus: There is a -5 bonus for correctly predicting either the Huskers score or the opponents.
    • EXAMPLE

Prediction: NU 79 Opponent 72

Actual: NU 72 Opponent 62

------------------------------------------

             (79 72) + (62 72)

                  7 + 10 = 17

------------------------------------------

• Game Winner: Picking the correct winner.
  • Scoring: Zero points for correct winner. 20 point penalty for incorrect choice.

The final score for this game would be 23.

 

Correctly predicting the actual game score nets all -5 bonuses and a -25 bonus, for a best possible score of -40.

 

Missed Game:

Your score for missing a game is (the highest score of picked games + 25 points). 

 

End of year:

1. Your highest score will be subtracted from your final point total.
2. No Games Missed equals a -25 bonus to your final score.  

 HHCC RULES:

1. All new HHCC game threads will be posted following the previous game. The first game will be up after the last exhibition game.
2. Post your prediction in the HHCC thread.
3. All predictions must be in by tipoff.
4. Any corrections to your prediction should be done in the HHCC game thread.  If you are unable to edit your score, just quote your previous score and post the new score underneath.
5. All score updates will be posted throughout the season.
