Vote on Possible rule Change For 2011 Battle For The "Crown"
« on: August 13, 2011, 12:34:23 PM »
We had some people last year suggest that we change the format on scoring the bonus game. 

In all years past we have added the total for the bonus game to each players score if they choose correctly, while subtracting that same number from the score it they choose wrong.

Some have suggested that we only ADD for correct scores and not subtract for losses. 

A third choice could be a compromise.  Add the points for a correct score and only subtract 1/2 for wrong choices.

Comments and votes are appreciated as this years week 1 games are on the board and ready to go

Happy picking

My opinion has always been that if there is no penalty for wrong choices, why would anyone ever bet anything but a 10 for each bonus game.  i think there has to be a punishment if you are wrong.

The bonus game has fucked my score more than once... But I have to agree with you. Keep it as is.

Agreed.  Has to be a penalty for incorrect choices.  Not just on the bonus game either.  Why wouldn't I pick Vanderbilt over Florida with a 10 if it wouldn't hurt me?

Because Vanderbilt is a God damned power house and you would be stupid to ever bet against them.

Power.  House.

Write it down.  We'll definitely win 2 games this year.

BOOM BITCH!

Don't play the bonus if you don't want to lose points.  I say keep it as is.

"Hey my friends are the ones that wanted to eat at that shitty hole in the wall that only served bread and wine.  What kind of brick and mud business model is that.  Stick to the cart if that's all you're going to serve.  Then that dude came in with like 12 other people, and some of them weren't even wearing shoes, and the restaurant sat them right across from us. It was gross, and they were all stinky and dirty.  Then dude starts talking about eating his body and drinking his blood...I almost lost it.  That's the last supper I'll ever have there, and I hope he dies a horrible death."

I think a 3 liter bottle of coke product should be part of the prize.  Otherwise, what's the use?

It's not just okay.  And it's not just for kids anymore.

After a week of giving my liver a vacation, I poured up a smooth Knob and Coke Classic product last night.  Took in some preseason foosball while I popped Planters Dry Roasted peanuts. 

I'm easy to please.

For the record I am not a hater of a Coke/Pepsi/Sprite product being mixed with bourbon.  Just not with good bourbon.  If you are drinking KY Gentlemen (Jumbo's favorite) then by all means, mix away.  Water is also acceptable.

Or Dickle Dickel? Dick -el?  A couple of years ago, we piled in my buddy's RV and headed up to teh planes.  I forget the circumstances but for some reason, a bottle of Dickel was purchased.  He sold the RV recently.....and when cleaning it out, came across the same bottle...barely used.  All I remember is asking how in the hell did anyone stomach that rot gut.

Wait.......white label?  B/c that and Gentleman Jack are the only two products distilled in TN that I can drink and must admit they are not bad.  I don't like Single Barrel Jack, Dickel black, Jack black nor Honey Jack.

Bookers and Bakers are higher proof, it is going to burn a little more, but it takes a little less.

Dear god, it's awful.  The only thing that really appeals to me from Buffalo Trace Distillery is Eagle Rare.  Outstanding Single Barrel Bourbon for the price.  It's cheaper than Makers Mark and it just as tasty. 

I would like to try Elmer T Lee and George T Stagg from there.

Had some Bakers up in Sheecargo a few months back....and yes..it was just over ice.  Muuuuch mo smoov than Bookers.  Your "Dear God, it's awful" quote is the only thing that comes to mind.
