Current Standings will be posted here after week 1

Rules:
Every Wednesday morning I will post 12 questions. Everyone will PM their answers to me. Your score will be the number of responses that were the same as yours. In other words, you don’t need to pick the correct answer, just the most common answer. Think Family Feud.

Your season score will be the sum of your percentile rank each week for each of the 8 weeks, dropping your lowest week. So if you are 1st place in the week you will get 100 pts, last will get 0. The middle position will get 50. Your lowest score will be dropped.

I will be combining answers at my discretion (e.g. child = kid). Please do not respond with multiple answers; I will not respond for clarification; I’ll count the first (e.g. Q: Name an airline A: United / American Airlines.)

Any reference/technology is at your disposal except NO CONVERSING WITH OTHER PEOPLE IN OR OUTSIDE THE GAME ABOUT YOUR ANSWERS.


Pre-Season:
Having never actually run a Sheep league before, I’d like to start with a three week pre-season to gather a base of entrants and work out some of the kinks. After that, we will start an 8 week regular season.


Regular Season:
The regular season will be 8 weeks long and will be a running total of each week’s scores for each player. Based on participation, we may create tiered divisions at some point in the future. For the individual regular season, I will drop each person’s lowest score. The winner will be Sheep Champ.


Team Sheep:
Teams will consist of 4 players. If you would like to be part of a team, PM me your team members some time before the regular season starts. You can also post in the thread that you are a free agent and a team can pick you up. Your score will be the sum of your highest 3 teammates for the week. Again, COMMUNICATING WITH OTHER PLAYERS (INCLUDING TEAMMATES) IS NOT ALLOWED. As with individual sheep, there will be a season, and a tournament to decide the Team Sheep Champs and the Team Sheep Cup Champs

Tournament:
In week 4 the top 32 players will play in the tournament for the sheep cup (based on seed with no drops). It will be a single elimination bracket. In week 6 the 8 team tourney will start. Same concept.

Awards:
Sheep Champ: winner of regular season
Sheep Cup Champ: winner of tourney

Team Sheep Champ: winner of team regular season
Team Sheep Cup Champ: winner of team tourney




Please let me know if you have any feedback, I am open to all suggestions. Also feel free to email me sheep question suggestions.

Nice.

I was decent at Sheep back in the day and would like to join a team.

 

[tsywake]

Thanks for heading this up. I'm definitely in. I presume teams will be 4 members?

 

[ImTheCaptain]

nice

#freeagent for people who want someone not particularly skilled at sheep

 

[AnonymousDeac]

In as well. RTQ, you in to join teams again?

We may be looking for applications for new members as barrpet had an attendance issue and ddeac08 is has fallen worse than Tiger.

[MRoost]

Sheep teams will be 4 members. Good question.

 

[BostonDeac]

in

 

[Deac6]

This sounds fun. Free agent.

I was tempted to tack this thread, but with a separate stickies tab on Tapatalk, I figured it'd get more views being left alone. We'll just have to remember to keep bumping it.

 

[scooter84]

I want to play. I have never played before. I am a free spirit... eh, agent.

 

[discdude]

I am in

 

[HeltonCreek]

I'd like to play. I've tried it a few times but never played regularly.

 

[Screamindemon3]

Free agent, was never very good at this but I'll participate every week. Pair me up with some FutBol fans and I'll thrive

[timdunkandthefunk]

I don't want the pressure of joining a team already at the top.

Discdude and myself have consciously coupled. As two footie fans we fit your criteria sd3. Interested?

 

[Kory]

I don't know what it is and I'm in.

 

[discdude]

Would we be able to stick both of these threads at ze top?

Stickies are a bitch for people that use tapatalk. I think people will keep bumping them.
