Ashmael Predition:
  • Predicting Benhidal as FIRST, and if Benhoidal is outside Top 10, Ash earn 0 points for that spot.
  • Predicting Ashmael as SECOND, and Ashmael finishes third: Ash earns 8 (could have earned 9 if squad had finished 2nd).
  • Predicting dh555 as TENTH, and dh55 finishes 5th: Ash earns 1 point (could have earned 6 if dh555 finished 5th)
Ash finishes with 9

bds992 Prediction:
  • Predicting bds992 as FIRST, and if bds992 finishes FIRST - he earns 10 points
  • Predicting Ashmael as Second, and if Ashmael finishes THIRD: bds9992 earns 8
  • Predicting dh555 as FORTH, and dh55 finishes 5th: dh555 earns 6 points
bds9992 earns 24 points
I provided an example of predictions, and results and of manner of applied points

I'm fairly certain that this was 'stuck to' during application of points.

Im also fairly certain this provides an example of how points were earned if an owenr
EXCEEDS prediction, or
FALLS BELOW predicted level.

and again, I apologize for your confusion.

all hail your savage nostradamus...me!

lets take at look at the rest of my picks for the league...some waaaay off(looking at you bds and ltb) but overall pretty damn good


1. benhoidal - Took a risk in ignoring the backcourt with the first three picks, but it paid off when he was able to get Deron and Danny Green.

Actual finish: 9

2. dbkc - Really nice job of covering ast% on the two teams without Simmons.

2

3. ashamael - Initial thought was disappointment that ash copied kinoa. But after looking at the options in round 2/3 for his team, I think it's clear Frazier/Kyrie were the best picks. Especially Frazier.

7

4. pexetera - Pex getting Marshall and Butler in the 4th/5th was bad for the league.

1

5. mptrey - Ho Grant.

3

6. 24kpyrite - He's got an amazing team around him. Can Lillard produce?

5

7. pharrop - It's easy to forget how awesome those SF seasons are from Giannis.

12

8. dh555 - If sim-matchup testing is to be believed(?), my team is a lot tougher than I thought.

4

9. tarheel1991 - The king of clean does it again!

11

10. robusk - Getting Porter and Sammy when you did was clutch. Very similar to my own team. I have better defense but you have Durant.

14

11. gerryred - I loved that you grabbed Price and Lowry when you did. Brand keeps this team from contending tho.

9

12. jhsukow - No idea what to make of this team so #12 felt right haha.

21

13. jcred5 - Defense is looking scary but I don't think Dr. J can carry the offense.

13

14. jpevans31 - Too much pressure on Klay. I think he struggles again.

23

15. cmcafeeky - Very similar to dbkc's team that finished 2nd, but I don't see a Zo on this team.

15

16. bds9992 - Cheeks? HATE! HATE! HATE!

6

17. mikee1 - I think Silas is overrated in this league.

19

18. longtallbrad - Some really nice pieces but I don't really like how it all fits together.

8

19. ysw128 - Don't know how important it actually will be but playing 96% or 97% McHale at SF bugs me.

22

20. amerk1180 - Where is 89-90 D-Rob? Gotta use that one.

17

21. goetz93 - 96-97 Mason should have been paired up with a SF Barkley.

20

22. 20ks - Where are the role players? Paul George should be playing the 2, not the 3.

18

23. dskantor - I'm shocked you didn't use any of the 3 MVP Kareem's from Savage 1. Makes no sense to me.

16

24. albiband0 - I thought not pairing Camby with Towns in round 3 was a huge mistake. I think you struggle on defense and on the glass.

24
when are you setting the lines for savage 3 my friend?

Your example contradicts your rule. So no, I’m not confused. Either you are confused or a liar, and I don't think you did anything malicious intentionally. I think you just had an idea of how it was going to work but failed to communicate that in a clear, concise manner and even communicated the opposite. Seeing as how you didn't take anyone's money to do this, and the free team was just your own voluntary kind gesture, it's not a big deal, and I'm not going to keep pushing it, but you did state that for a team to give an owner any points, it had to finish at or below their prediction. If you plan on running this again, you need to get rid of that distinction if you don't intend to follow it.

Cheers & gl in season 3.
