Another possibility is to simplify the points system.
I never quite understood why a wrong bet would give any points (although I must admit I voted for this system). Wrong bet to me means zero points, just as a no-bet or a too-late-bet.
So only: 3 points for correct bet and 7 points for correct out of sequence bet, that's it.

I agree with Peter. As he states I wondered about the single point for being wrong, but went along with it.
So I think that 3 points for the correct MSN in sequence and 7 points for a correct MSN out of sequence is the way to go going forward and starting with the first 2016 Convoy.
For those that may celebrate it, have a Happy Thanksgiving.

With the old system, the game would have been dead already this year. The new set of rules, though complicated and slightly inconsistent, at least extended its lifetime one more year. However, with the further shift towards the A380 production line becoming an exclusive Emirates supplier, I think it's over - at some point you just have to pull the plug. So I'm really curious what Baroque has up his (her?) sleeve... P.S.: I second Baroque 's idea to create a 'Fun and Games' section for such things. Would also be a more apt place for stealthmanbob 's A350 delivery number game.

Do not make it too complicated, it should not need a computer to calculate the points, it is just a bit of fun.

The best way to keep it simple and fun is one point for each correct non-EK guess, no point when it's EK. That way, each point will be duly celebrated !

Let's just say, I'm bare-chested when I go for a swim...at least most of the time.

I am happy to run a new monthly betting game, in a new betting funny thread obviously !
How about predicting the number of A350s that will be delivered in the next calendar month during 2016 ?
It should work ?
So deadline would be 31st Dec 2015 to predict the number of deliveries in January 2016 etc etc etc.........
The spread of bets for deliveries in a calendar month is wide enough to make it work, it could be between say 1 (bad month) to say 7 or 8
What does anyone think ?
