Re: Guesstimania 10: Playoff Time
For question 10 (Djokovic), do you want the number of career wins, or 2014 wins?

Re: Guesstimania 10: Playoff Time
For question 9: For example, the 100 meter dash and the 1500-meter run and the 400-meter hurdles... all considered one event, or three events?

Re: Guesstimania 10: Playoff Time
I don't mean number of events like 100m, 110m hurdles. I mean number of events like Basketball, Badminton, Archery, Cycling, Gymnastics, etc.Rackme32 wrote:For question 9: For example, the 100 meter dash and the 1500-meter run and the 400-meter hurdles... all considered one event, or three events?

Re: Guesstimania 10: Playoff Time
In Olympic parlance, those are called sports. Events are the actual medal competitions within sports, men's and women's basketball within basketball; singles, doubles, men's, and women's within badminton; 100m, 110m hurdles, etc. within athletics. You may want to change the wording of the question to reflect that.Lumosityfan wrote:I don't mean number of events like 100m, 110m hurdles.

Re: Guesstimania 10: Playoff Time
If you'd like to get more people to play your games in the future, maybe try some of the following :Lumosityfan wrote:Bumping to remind you to get your responses in! I don't even have enough responses to implement the playoff, so make sure to get in your responses quickly!
--If you get busy and are delayed in scoring your game, at least post something and let people know what's happening, rather than just ignoring anyone asking when the scoring is going to continue.
--Don't act angry when people ask you to finish scoring your previous game before starting a new one. "Fine, fine, fine! To finish this up, once and for all, I will release the last 4 answers:"
--Maybe do some editing and proofreading on your questions before you post them, to make sure it is clear what is being asked. Players should not have to ask for clarifications on every single question to make sure they know what you're looking for. If you need to, ask on the board if someone would mind looking over the questions for you before they are posted to help catch errors or ambiguities.

Re: Guesstimania 10: Playoff Time
And we are finished! Thanks to all who participated! Scoring will begin shortly.
Also, due to the small number of participants, I have decided to shrink the playoff size to 6, similar to how the NFL playoffs work: the number one seed and two seed get a bye, while seeds 3-6 will battle it out. Then, the winner of seeds 3-6 will battle the number two seed while the winner of seeds 4-5 will battle the number one seed.

I'm going to try and get this all done by Friday. (Which will mean that the playoff will have to wait until another day. Sorry!)Bamaman wrote:I'm starting a new Guesstimania game. Send me your answer to the following question by p-mail. Or just post it here.
