FMIplay NBA Season #1

So... what is this all about?


ABOUT / RULES

Welcome to the only NBA margin tipping competition in league format...
IN THE WESTERN HEMISPHERE.


To be part of the FMIplay-NBA Tips League you need to
1) have a twitter account, and follow @FMIplay_NBA,
2) be prepared to send tips all of the season through, tipping the winner and margins on 5 games selected randomly,
3) have a sense of humour and approach the game in the spirit intended - just some fun.

Entry will cost you nothing, and if you win, you will receive all of your costs back, plus the adulation of your competitors.

There is a whole list of Rules below (coming soon), dedicated to the finer points of the competition, but in a nutshell...
- you are allocated a place in the roster, and get scheduled to play weekly head to head matches against your Divisions' opponents.
- you tip winners and margins of victory on 5 games, and so does your opponent.
- you score a point if you are correct with the winner AND nearest the pin. No points if too far away.
- you also are awarded bonus points for accuracy (currently +1 if your margin was within +/-2 points of actual, AND +2 if exactly tipped).
- the bonus points apply in league or cup only to the player who tipped nearest the pin.

Winners get points and league 'wins', and the league table is produced. The season follows the fixture as published at the start of the season, and under each divisions tabs.
At the end of the FMIplay NBA season (Week 16), the top two players will play off in a Grand Final - Superbowl kinda thing.

I may set up additional side competitions, and these are for
- most correct tips (regardless of margin)
- most times awarded bonus points for accuracy
- most times scored an exact margin tip
- lowest MAE (mean absolute error - which is average of your distance from the actual on each game)
- longest correct game tipped streak.
So, if you want to test your tipping skill, feel free to try.
Make contact on twitter at @FMIplay_NBA.

Entries will be accepted up until OCTOBER 16 before the NBA season begins, and it is first in - first served.
