Please post suggestions on what you want to be added, subtracted and what not. I will TRY to do after FOUR series an up to season update on all players and set a minimum who I report, but since it is in a database, all information will be retrievable. Since I have a base program already configured, I can expand upon that to incorporate any new ideas you all want.
It will be broken down like this:
Questions 1 thru 5 or true/false worth 3 pts
Questions 6 thru 10 are numerical and based on a 5 point curve. Example is if the combination of Gattis, J-Upton and Heyward obtain a total of 6 extrabases and you choose 2, you will still get a point because you are within 5 points of the total. Now with this team this year, it is safe to say there won't be many homer questions unless it regards the other team.
Question 11 is your meat points, the bonus one, worth 10 points and yes you can be within 10 on either side of the answer. The reason for this is that some questions of this caliber are tough, especially the ones involving 100 or more points.
Here is how the questions are portrayed:
1. Will EJ get a hit and a SB in any game in the series? You answer no, the correct answer is yes, 0 pts
2. Will Julio last 6 innings but give up 4 runs? 6.1 IP 5 runs, but 3 were earned. Your answer yes, the correct and is yes, (be mindful about the wording of the question, like Earned Runs, Sacrifice and Sac Flies). 3 pts
6. Total hits by Cardinals in the first six innings. They had 8, you answer 11. You will receive 2 pts.
7. What is the lowest amount of walks giving up by the Braves bullpen in the 2nd game of the series. The answer was 4, but you said 0, you still receive a point.
11. Bonus questions are one with multiple attached qualifications. Total Runs by BOTH teams plus total Homers and Triples. You say 24 and the answer was 30, you still get 3 pts.
Be mindful of these terms:
BOTH means both teams
SINGLE means any single team or game in the series
Exclude means do not count this in the question
Lastly, even I make mistakes and someone catches me on it. After you answer your questions, please check back in a few hours on this site, you will see an UPDATE in the heading letting you know there is a change in a question. I will ask players who played this religiously to bring their own questions in the format I request. I have had no issues with their questions and at times proved to be more difficult than my own.
Thanks for your participation in the future.
Go Richmond Braves!!!!
