Opening the 2014-15 Prediction Contest
Opening the 2014-15 Prediction Contest
URI begins its 111th basketball season on November 14 in a game versus Pace University and with it comes the launching of the seventh Annual Prediction Contest
PRIZE
$100 gift certificate to Mews Tavern.
PREDICTION COMPONENTS:
Each participant will make a prediction composed of five parts:
1. Regular Season Record (based on 29 games)
2. A-10 Conference Record (based on 18 games)
3. Team Scoring Average, ppg (to two decimals, based on 29 games). This is the bonus prediction, hence the two decimal request. requirement.
4. Top Scorer & Scoring Average, ppg (to one decimal, based on 29 games)
5. Average Home Attendance, regular season only (15 games - 9 conference, 6 OOC)
If two posters submit identical bids in all five parts, the time of submit will determine which one becomes official and subsequent posters will be asked to modify prediction and re-submit. This contest is based on predicting the overall regular season record, so the other four components of bet are essentially tiebreakers and will be used to determine winner according to the above sequence.
A suggested prediction format:
1. 17-12
2. 9-9
3. 68.43
4. Matthews, 17.8
5. 5,945
BONUS PRIZE
A bonus prize of a $50 gift certificate to Mews Tavern will be awarded to the participant who comes closest to predicting the Rams’ team scoring average. To avoid duplication, this prediction must be made to two decimal places. This prediction will be based on regular season games. A participant making an identical prediction in this category will be asked to re-submit based on time of original submit.
DEADLINE
The deadline for submitting a prediction is Sunday, November 16, Noon. All contest participants, if they chose, will get a freebie in seeing the Rams in action against Pace before the betting window closes.
OTHER CONDITIONS
• This thread is home where all predictions must be submitted.
• In the event of ties, the prizes will be shared.
• The contest is only open to bona fide URI fans and those qualifying must have registered on this forum before September 1, 2014.
The betting window is now open!!.

Re: Opening the 2014-15 Prediction Contest
I wasn't aware ANY of us were obliged to say what our thought
process was in this contest.
How about this.....mind your own business and worry about your
own prediction.
