An attempt to answer the question about Regionals/TOC events (if we also add those)

I was reading the thread from 2011 in reverse and it appears to work like this:

-Predict scores for top 5 (or top 3 for TOC?)

-Give spread from 1st to 5th (3rd)

-List corps 6-12 (4-8) for bonus (I didn't get the point system for this, if there was any for bonuses)

I like the idea of using the top five and the spread. As far as the bonuses go, I like the idea of listing 6-12 also, but I was thinking...what if we add a twist? You can wager up to a predetermined amount of points total (I was thinking like 10-25 for the max amount, and wagering is not required) on the placements (not scores) of the corps who place 6th-12th (or maybe 4th-8th for TOC also).

For example:

FaustianMachine goes into Minneapolis with a score of 120.5. They decide to wager 18 of their points total on the placements of corps 6-12.

What they predict (and format for prediction):

1st-5th as normal

Spread as normal

06th: Bluecoats (1.5)

07th: The Cavaliers (3.0)

08th: Madison Scouts (7.0)

09th: Boston Crusaders (0.5)

10th: Spirit of Atlanta (4.0)

11th: Glassmen (0.5)

12th: Crossmen (1.5)

*Where the numbers in () notates the amount of points they are wagering per corps

What ends up happening:

06th: The Cavaliers

07th: Bluecoats

08th: Madison Scouts

09th: Glassmen

10th: Boston Crusaders

10th: Spirit of Atlanta

12th: The Academy

FaustianMachine would end up losing a total of 7 from 6th, 7th, 9th, 11th, and 12th, but would gain 11 points from 8th and 10th. Therefore a total of 4 points would be added to their score from this round, in addition to the points from 1st-5th.
