Currently we have Guess the Attendance and ... U Pick! so I thought, why not complete the data games and make a "Stat Geeks" (Name pending) competition as well?
Here is the idea:
Goal is to guess which team got the better result in each stat:
Total Shots (highest) - optional: guess (on target / off target / blocked) for tie breaker
Possession (highest)
Yellow Cards (lowest)
Red Cards (lowest)
Fouls (lowest)
Offside (lowest)
Duels Won (highest)
Tackles Won (highest)
Overall Passing Accuracy (highest)
-------------------------------------------------
Example: My submission for a thread for NYC v VAN would be:
Total Shots: 15 (5/8/2). (NYC wins)
Possession: 53%. (NYC)
Yellow Cards: 0. (VAN)
Red Cards: 0. (tie)
Fouls: 12. (VAN)
Offside: 3 (VAN)
Duels Won: 45 (NYC)
Tackles Won: 12 (NYC)
Passing: 93% (NYC)
Points calculated as:
1 point for guessing correct team
1 point for getting +- 2 on any category
Tie breaker on shots if two people have the same final points values.
-----------------------------------------------------
If anyone has any criticism (constructive please ) or thinks it should be done differently, please feel free to give your $0.02! (Less stat categories? Price is right rules? different way to calculate points? etc.)
