I'm hoping I can count on the community to be as ridiculous nerdy as I am about this.

Let's bet on the people who bet on the regionals. That's right, we're about to get meta all up in here!

Who's got time to make weekly predictions? Not you! Instead, pick your team at the start of the season and let them do the picking for you.

How it works:

- Pick a team of pundits, for a total cost of 20 points (pundits and cost values below).
- Let your team of pundits hustle in the weekly regional predictions (1e and 2e)
- Adjust your picks at the mid-season mark (if you want)
- Do nothing for some more weeks while your team does some more hard predictin'
- Check in on the results to discover if your team won!

Prizes
The top pundit pundit will get some promos that have flown from the US to Africa and back. Definitely a Decipher era tournament foil or two, and some other fun things too. Possibly even a Star Wars Destiny legendary, if that's what you're into. One thing I can promise: at some stage these cards used to be worth something.

Rules:

- Pick a team of as many as 3 pundits.
- The total cost of your pundits may not be more than 20 points.
- You get a point for each correct regional result that your pundit picks.

Pundits and costs:

The Ninja Scot 14
LORE 13
TReebel 13
Armus 12
prylardurden 11
jadziadax8 10
Fritzinger, 10
KillerB 10
edgeofhearing 9
Bosskamiura 9
Marquetry 8
rsutton41 8
TyKajada 8
Danny 8
BCSWowbagger 7
Resistance-is-futile 7
kingmj4891 7
monty42 7
Mogor 7
scox 6
Ashbey 6
Honest 6
Hoss-Drone 6
Johannes Mette 6
Naetor 6
Brak_ 5
pfti 5
Mogor 4
commdecker 4
JamesValEson 4
JeBuS 4
kingmj4891 4
sexecutioner 4

Any non-listed pundit comes in with a default of 4 points.

Costs are based on a pundit's performance in picking regional results in 2017, adjusted for 2e's larger number of events plus some extra if a pundit picked in both games.

Oh man!

I'll go home team and pick Lore and BCSWowbagger for exactly 20 points.


I'll have to think on how to nest smack talk now since we're betting on the bettors....

Gotta have a full roster - since we're all basically guessing anyway, three people guessing should rack up more points than two people guessing, right? :wink:
