For the up coming WWE Royal Rumble, I figure it we should make it more interesting for us fans and do a pool.
Rules arent written in stone since it's the first time we've done it (and we can debate how to run this) but here's what I figure we should do:
- Pool participant cap at 15
- Picks are not for the wrestler but based on entrant's # (part of the fun is finding out who your pick is)
- We make picks in both Men & Women Rumbles
- Depending on how many people are playing, everyone gets at least four picks:
(eg. first pick from men's rumble between numbers 1-15, second pick men's 16-30, third pick women's 1-15, fourth pick women's 16-30)
- Winner of the pool is based on total eliminations
- Rumble winner pick is worth five eliminations (5 added on top of their eliminations. eg Ruby Riott eliminates 3 women and wins the rumble. 8 points for her pick)
post here if you want to sign up. Sign up ends new years day or when we hit 15
I've randomized our list with
https://www.browserling.com/tools/random-lines
here's the draft order:
1) Mile
2) Gundo
3) keenan87
4) CMPunk
5) Pizza
6) Superflyer
7) SuperMatt18
8) Trackercowe
9) zukes
10) Esoteric
11) Derek Sutton
12) CaptainCrunch
13) KelVarnsen
14) Maritime Q-Scout
15) agulati
Alt) Julio
Rules for picks
First round of picks are for the women.
Pick a number from each 1-15 and 16-30 for the Women's Rumble
Second round of picks are for the men.
Pick a number from each 1-15 and 16-30 for the Men's Rumble
Snake Draft applies so Mile makes his two picks for the Women and then gets his last picks for the Men's Rumble. Agulati gets last picks for the Women and gets first picks for the Men. Maritime Q goes next after Agulati and so forth
After you posted your numbers here, please PM the next person on your list
Everyone has up to 48 hours (Extra 24 hours if their time is over Xmas and New years day) to make their picks. Time starts from the previous person's pick
Anyone not making their pick in time will have an Alternate make their pick for them that round. If we run out of Alternates, a left over pick would be assigned to them at the end of the round. (eg. CMPunk fails to make his pick in time, Julio now makes the pick. Pizza fails to make the next pick in time, no other Alts are left, so it's Superflyer's turn and Pizza gets assigned the left over pick at the end of the round. CMPunk and Pizza can pick again in the 2nd round. Julio can make another Alt pick in the 2nd round if someone else doesnt respond in time)
I figure this should make everything fair and allows more people, like Julio, to sign up even though we have our 15.
