Suggestion for Contest Idea |
|
I think a neat idea for a contest would be to guess the amount of entrants in the WSOP Main Even for 2007. I'm not sure what a good date would be to cut it off, as the closer the summer gets, the more info on this will be available.

Great idea.
We'll need rules of course. I'm thinking one rule should be that your pick must be at least 10 digits from that of anyone else.
In other words, let's say we have:
Person A: 3511
Person B must choose a number less than or equal to 3501 if he wants to go lower than Person A.
Person B must choose a number greather than or equal to 3521 if he wants to go higher than Person A.

10- or 10+ from any other guess Thats an really good rule Eric.
Closest guess over or under the correct number winns, right? not just under?
1 guess per/person, once you made your guess, you cant change it.
And we should have a deadline for this too real soon.

What if there are exactly 3506 entrants? Who wins then?

I'd suggest the Person to win in that case that guessed 3501 cause that Person didn't go over 3506.
Doesn't really matter. It just has to be defined in the rules before contest starts.

I think The Price is Right rules should be followed. That way we won't run into the half way thing.

Closest to the actual retail price with out going over. |
