Ohio Chatter Sheep League Week 1.5 RESULTS POSTED

  • ohiobucks1
    What is the Sheep game?
    It's pretty simple and will only take 3-10 minutes of your time every week. Every week I'll post questions, and all you have to do is PM me the answers within a few days. However, the catch is that there aren't necessarily any right or wrong answers, the idea is to try to guess what the most popular answer would be. For example, if the question is "best city in Ohio?" you might be tempted to answer Dayton or Sandusky or wherever you live, but you'll get more points if you say Columbus, because that's what most people will probably answer. Thus, it's called the Sheep Game. You'll score points based on the number of people who answer the same as you do.
    Scoring: The weekly winner will get the same number of points as the number of players each week. For example, if 15 people play in one week, the winner would get 15 points, second place would get 14 points, and last place would get 1 point. But if more people join in the next week and 20 people play, then the winner for the second week would get 20 points. The winner each week will also get 5 bonus points.

    By the way. If we can get 50 players by this week, we will be doing 1 more week of pro/relegation because the game is made to be played in 3 divisions (20 in league 1 - 20 in league 2 - and Unlimited in League 3)



    Right now we are at 45. If you know anyone else who wants to play PLEASE let them know about it. The more people who play the better

    If it wasn't so much work I wish we could do a Monday-Friday questions and a weekend questions so basically 2 round every week but I understand that would be a lot of work for the host.

    Honestly, some weeks I could do it. Theres two problems with it however:

    #1: It actually is a decent amount of work and my program is set up to run an 8 week (once a week) season. So i can either do a 4 week (twice a week) program which be a lot more work (and starting in August I will be in law school) or I can keep it 8

    #2. Some people may have a hard time getting in 2 sets of questions a week and it would kill their score.


    I will think about it though. Maybe I will have some designated weeks that are twice a week. Like every other week or something. We'll see.

  • ohiobucks1
    I'm happy with the participation this week. Up to 52 people
  • sportchampps
    So are we going to do one more week and then make the 3 divisions
  • ohiobucks1
    Yes. Since there is 50+ there is going to be 3 divisions.

    So this week is not going to determine spots.

    We will have one more full week (I'll call it week 2) and then we will use the first 3 sets of questions to determine the standings. After that there will be 6 more weeks in Season 1.
