Odder, your scoring system makes no sense. (10-P^2)*(S)

Predict 1st place and they win. You get (10-1)*(1) = 9 points
Predict 2nd place and they come second. You get (10-4)*(2) = 12 points

You can also get massive negative points

I was tired x'D I was trying to make a system that makes 2nd not be more points worth than 1st XP but still giving seedings lots of points, I'll correct it :D and yes, minus points are good :3

(13/3-(P+P/3))*((S+7)/8) new points system that should fix your problem and taking both seeding and position into account.

Predict 1st place and they win: (13/3-(1+1/3))*((1+7)/8)=3
Predict 2nd place and they win: (13/3-(1+1/3))*((2+7)/8)=3.38

predict 1st place then get second: (13/3-(2+2/3))*((1+7)/8)=1.67
Predict 2nd place and they get second: (13/3-(2+2/3))*((2+7)/8)=1.88


given that 2nd seeded has 33.33% of winning and 1st seeded has 50% the expected win per guess for a first seeded is: (3+1.67)/2=2.335, the same for second seeded: 2.38 (given that they can only rank 1st and 2nd, but since that 2nd seeded of course should have bigger chance positioning out of top 2 I see no unfair play anymore :)

Just wanted to say that 29 people already used the spreadsheet :) We need something for the winners! i guess this thread can be used for predictions not related to OP, like top 3's or crazy results or qualifications for finals and stuff like that, all crazy stuff.
