New UM Confidence Pick Game! (Stolen from UNI)

Well-known member
Would anyone like to play a game that uses confidence points for predictions of UM’s football season? I stole it from UNI's board. Essentially, think of it as a UM football season version of a confidence picks game for predicting the winners of bowl games.
Here is how the Confidence Picks game works:

  • Before the kickoff of the UNI/Montana game, pick whether UM wins or loses in each of game.
  • Assign confidence points for each pick (1 through 11 with 11 being the pick for which you are the most confident).
  • You may change your confidence picks for games that haven’t started and confidence points that haven’t been used.
  • If you make changes, do so with a reply to your original post--which I will check, not an edited post--which I would probably never see.
  • If your prediction for the game was correct, then you get the points.
  • If your prediction was incorrect, then you lose the points.

This gives us a big range of +66 to -66 points for the season.

I will post standings after each weekend.

If you are still interested, go on to the next post to see an example of how it works.

Each player's overall confidence points will be posted here during the season.

Note. You have to get in before our first game starts to play!

  • at Southern Utah Win 3
  • at Idaho Loss 2
  • Montana State Win 9

Note. You can not use a confidence number more than once.
 
Again, you can only use each confidence number one time. Thus the worst you can do (getting them all wrong) is -11 - 10 - 9 - 8 - 7 - 6 - 5 - 4 - 3 - 2 - 1 = -66. And the best you can do is 11 + 10 + 9 + 8 + 7 + 6 + 5 + 4 + 3 + 2 + 1 = 66. This way makes you rank your relative confidence in each game--you have to compare between games.
