Ignore this post! Read my later one
We are a little shorter on time than usual this year, so as a one off I am planning to assign draft order in advance of draft day. There is a single question to answer – most accurate answer will take draft spot 1, next best draft spot 2 and so on.
EuroBasket 2022 starts on Thursday 1st September, with three Group A matches (Spain v Bulgaria, Turkey v Montenegro, Belgium v Georgia). What will be the total number of points scored across these three games?
Message me your answer. I will accept a single whole-numbered answer, between 1 and 1,000 inclusive. If someone has already guessed the exact same number I will tell you to guess again.
- Whoever makes the first guess, I will message you my guess – so that I can’t just sneakily wait to see all 15 other guesses before making mine!
- If two guesses are out by an identical amount, the tiebreaker will go to whoever guessed under (so if the actual total is 500, then 495 would beat 505)
- All guesses in by end of day 31st August. I will assign a randomly generated number to anyone who hasn’t replied by then
- Bad guesses are allowed! If you are desperate to draft late in the round, feel free to guess an improbably high or low number (between the 1 and 1,000 limits)
- Once the games have been played on the Thursday, I will work out the total points and announce the draft order. High picks will get less season-long waiver budget, and vice versa.
