KeaneyBlue - The URI Basketball Forum

URI begins its 115th basketball season on Tuesday, November 6 with a game against local rival Bryant and this upcoming event triggers the opening of the Eleventh Annual Prediction Contest.

MAIN PRIZE

The winner of the prediction contest will receive a $200 cash prize.

BONUS PRIZES

There will be two bonus prizes of $50 Mews Tavern gift certificates awarded based on:

1) Team Scoring -regular season only (to avoid ties, this prediction must be made to two decimals).

2) Average Home Attendance - regular season only.

In these two categories, if bettors submit an identical prediction to one already placed, they will be asked to re-submit prediction.

Note: In the event that a participant correctly predicts all three prize winning components, the prize would be doubled to a $600 cash prize.

PREDICTION COMPONENTS:

Each participant will make a prediction composed of five parts.

1. Regular Season Record (based on 30 games)
2. A-10 Conference record (based on 18 games)
3. Team Scoring Average, ppg (to two decimals, based on 30 games).
4. Top Scorer & Scoring Average, ppg (to one decimal, based on 30 games)
5. Average Home Attendance, regular season only (14 games - 9 conference, 5 OOC)

The 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 the winner according to the above sequence. To move successfully through the sequence requires either predicting the actual result or coming the closest to the actual result.

A suggested prediction format:

1. 24-6
2. 15-3
3. 68.42
4. Dowtin, 17.8
5. 5,945

DEADLINE

The deadline for submitting a prediction is Tuesday, November 6, Noon.
