How many games qualifies the payer for being eligibile to be the winner?

ramster · Unread post by **ramster** » 11 years ago

URI96 wrote:How many games qualifies the payer for being eligibile to be the winner?

I was thinking hte same thing. If someone gets hurt and out for the season (ie broken hand, etc......) and only plays 10 games then they probably shouldn't count. My guess is a player should play 75% of the season to have his average count.

Obadiah · Unread post by **Obadiah** » 11 years ago

Easy question to answer. The award is based on the 29 games of the regular season and a player to be eligible must play in a minimum of 22 games. That gives each player a spare of 7 games to cover injuries, illness, and penalties.

rhodyrudder · Unread post by **rhodyrudder** » 11 years ago

Lol.

He doesn't have a point yet, does he?

There's still time though.

If he goes off for 42 against the buckyes we'll be right on track.

Obadiah · Unread post by **Obadiah** » 11 years ago

One of the nice features of a Top Scorer Contest is that at any time in the season you can check to see which poster is in the lead. So in that spirit, after each five or 6 games I will post URI's top scorers and who is leading in the contest.

The three top URI scorers are:

Xavier Munford - 17.00 ppg

Nikola Malesevic - 15.60 ppg

Andre Malone - 11.16

With about a fifth of the season gone, Munford is the leading scorer and SDRam with a prediction of 16.83 is closest to Munford's actual ppg of 17.00.

Does that include his 33 tonight?

Yes. OB doesn't skimp on the calculations!!

reef · Unread post by **reef** » 11 years ago

I think X can stay around 16 or 17 he is a flat out scorer

Obadiah · Unread post by **Obadiah** » 11 years ago

With another great performance by Xavier Munford with 24 points against George Mason, his seasonal average to date moves to 18.00 ppg. rhodylaw now becomes the current leader in the contest. Unless Malone or Nik spring to life soon, the top scorer crown looks like Munford's to win and the contest winner will be a battle among the top 5 or 6 posters picking X.

Rhody74 · Unread post by **Rhody74** » 11 years ago

X is definitely turning into the star of the team. He's quick off the dribble and can get streaky hot from the outside. I wish he were better at the line, though.

reef · Unread post by **reef** » 11 years ago

No doubt our go to guy

Rhody Guy · Unread post by **Rhody Guy** » 11 years ago

I knew it would be X but i greatly underestimated by how much if he can be consistent.

reef · Unread post by **reef** » 11 years ago

I picked Nik boy was I wrong

Obadiah · Unread post by **Obadiah** » 11 years ago

With Munford's 25 point contribution to the Rams' win over Vermont, his ppg average moves up to 18.88 and that makes rhodyRams08 the current leader.

yes, he's climbing up towards me!

Billyboy78 · Unread post by **Billyboy78** » 11 years ago

But the way Munford's going lately, Kingston will win!

Give it to us X !!!!

Obadiah · Unread post by **Obadiah** » 11 years ago

After PC contest, Munford's ppg average falls to 17.89 and rhodylaw now takes the lead.

reef · Unread post by **reef** » 11 years ago

I think it falls somwehere between 17 and 18

Obadiah · Unread post by **Obadiah** » 11 years ago

With Munford's 11 points in today's game against SMU, his year to date ppg average is now 17.20 and NY2Rhody is now contest leader.

reef · Unread post by **reef** » 11 years ago

Good to see the other guys step up with X only getting 11

Obadiah · Unread post by **Obadiah** » 11 years ago

Xavier Munford scored 17 points in the win over Georgia State and his scoring average is now 17.18 ppg which keeps NY2Rhody in the lead to win contest.

reef · Unread post by **reef** » 11 years ago

Nice to see X get his avg today and the w as well

Obadiah · Unread post by **Obadiah** » 11 years ago

Xavier Munford's 20 points last night brings his average ppg to 17.42. Rhodyhoopz is now the contest leader.

URIGONZO · Unread post by **URIGONZO** » 11 years ago

How many PPG is Nik averaging?

Rhodyhooopz · Unread post by **Rhodyhooopz** » 11 years ago

Atta boy X. now just score 17.5 for rest of year

Obadiah · Unread post by **Obadiah** » 11 years ago

X scored 18 tonight to bring his ppg average to 17.46. Rhodyhoopz is still leader.

jmck · Unread post by **jmck** » 11 years ago

with nik's 0.00 last night, i declare myself out of the leading scorer prediction contest. i will notify his local draft board immediately!

Obadiah · Unread post by **Obadiah** » 11 years ago

Nik's average is now 11.50, Malone is at 9.54. Essentially all bettors other than those going with Munford have been eliminated.

adam914 · Unread post by **adam914** » 11 years ago

I cant believe I fell into the Malone trap two years in a row!

Ramulous · Unread post by **Ramulous** » 11 years ago

Adam

I actually am impressed with Andre's play lately.....he is one of the guys I most enjoy watching play....

Unread post by **SGreenwell** » 11 years ago

Malone's jumper just isn't consistent enough for him to be a high scorer most nights. It's a shame, because he has good size for a guard / wing, and most of the shots he takes are open looks, or that little fade from the baseline.

Rhody74 · Unread post by **Rhody74** » 11 years ago

While Nik and Malone (and to a lesser extent Powell) can have good nights, X is the only consistent scorer on this team. Thank God Hurley teaches defense or else we'd be a complete disaster.

reef · Unread post by **reef** » 11 years ago

Nik needs to get way more consistent, no more 0 for 9's

Statistically Malone is the second best shooter on the team but he's fourth in shots taken. I'd like to see him shoot more.

I think Malesevic is what he is at this point. On a better team, he'd probably be a 20-minute player, and on the nights he's hot, you ride him for 30+. But on this team, he's going to play 35 minutes unless he's in foul trouble or hurt, since the Rams don't really have better options for the 4.

Obadiah · Unread post by **Obadiah** » 11 years ago

With Munford's 25 points against Richmond, his ppg average moves to 18.0 and rhodylaw takes the lead.

reef · Unread post by **reef** » 11 years ago

This guy X is a player !!!

Rhodyhooopz · Unread post by **Rhodyhooopz** » 11 years ago

dam need him sto stay around 17 for rest of year. he is getting too good and other options on the team are disappearing

Ramulous · Unread post by **Ramulous** » 11 years ago

I think this contest has just become what the final average will be as I see no chance for any other player to compete with X.....assuming good health all around....

rodfromcranston · Unread post by **rodfromcranston** » 11 years ago

Who expected Nik to vanish in his senior season?
They need to put out an APB for him.

Obadiah · Unread post by **Obadiah** » 11 years ago

With Munford's 8 points today, his ppg average moves to 17.33 and NY2Rhody is the new leader.

reef · Unread post by **reef** » 11 years ago

Say it aint so X !!!!

Obadiah · Unread post by **Obadiah** » 11 years ago

With Munford's 24 point contribution against SLU, his ppg average moves to 17.75 and Rhodyhoopz retakes the lead by 0.07 over rhodylaw.

Rhodyhooopz · Unread post by **Rhodyhooopz** » 11 years ago

Lets go X. Average 17.5 the rest of the year.
