Sheep Season 1
How to play: You send a PM to me with your answers to all 15 categories each week. The goal is not to answer the questions correctly, but to guess what will be the most popular answer. (Example….if the category is “Best player in MLS” and you think the correct answer is Claudio Reyna, but you think everyone on the New England board will say Taylor Twellman, then you should answer Taylor Twellman also.) You will score points based on how many people answer like you. If 15 people answered Taylor Twellman then you’d get 15 points for that question. Whoever scores the most points after all 15 categories will win the week.
Scoring: The weekly winner will get the same number of points as people who entered the game that week. If 25 people played then the winner would get 25 points. Second place would be worth 24 points, third would be worth 23 points, last would be worth 1 point, etc…. First place will also receive a 5 point bonus for the win. These points will be accumulated throughout the 10 week season and whoever scores the most will win the league.
Standings: The top 4 players will qualify for the Sheep Champions League. The top 4 players from Barra Brava’s league (run by lawrenceterp) and Houston Dynamo’s league (run by nobius1836) will also qualify. The top 20 players in this season will qualify for the 1st division (Sheep Primera) in season 2. Everyone outside the top 20 will be placed in the second division (Sheep Segunda). Once those divisions have been created, promotion and relegation will start.
And now on to Week 1. Answers for week 1 are due to me via PM by Friday at noon. Please do not discuss any answers in this thread. If there are any questions send a PM to myself or lawrenceterp for clarification. Good luck.
1. Your high school GPA.

Re: Sheep Season 1
That's an incredible number of players. The first time I did this on the Barra Brava message board we had 10. By the end of our first season we had 28 and a total of 33 had played at least one game. You guys are going to crush those numbers. We're at 17 right now for this week. I have no idea how Houston is doing but I don't think nearly as well as us.

Re: Sheep Season 1
Quick question on the scoring. What is the tiebreaker? Let's say both Seamus and I got 6 answers "correct" (I don't even know if he's playing; I just decided to name-drop there). Do we get the same score, or is there something to determine who gets more points?
