What is this?
We did one last year ( link to last year's league ) and it was pretty fun so I thought it might be fun to do a fantasy draft again for the upcoming Giant Bomb 2019 GotY awards. Please read to the bottom of this post before posting or you will be disqualified! Any submissions that are not in the correct format will be ignored.
Please keep all discussion to the discussion page as this page is for submissions only.

Scoring
Every game's point total will be calculated based on the following criteria:
Site List
Rank | Points |
---|
1 | 1000 |
2 | 900 |
3 | 800 |
4 | 700 |
5 | 600 |
6 | 500 |
7 | 400 |
8 | 300 |
9 | 200 |
10 | 100 |
Staff List
Rank | Points |
---|
1 | 100 |
2 | 90 |
3 | 80 |
4 | 70 |
5 | 60 |
6 | 50 |
7 | 40 |
8 | 30 |
9 | 20 |
10 | 10 |
Positive Categories
Position | Points |
---|
Winner | 200 |
Runner Up | 150 |
Negative Categories
Position | Points |
---|
Winner | -500 |
Runner Up | -250 |
A single game can only win once within a single category.
Guest Lists
Due to the non-structured nature of guest lists, each game on their list will be afforded 30 points. This excludes any and all games that are off their main list and listed as something along the lines of "honorable mentions".
The point total for each game will then be modified based on what slot you put it in as follows:
Assigned Rank | Percentage |
---|
1 | 100% |
2 | 80% |
3 | 60% |
4 | 40% |
5 | 20% |
So for example, if a game got 100 points total and was in your 1 spot, you'd get the full 100 points while if it were in your number 5 spot you'd get 20 points.
In the event of a tie, the three tie breaker games will be used to determine the winner. with the scale of 100%, 75%, 50% for 6th, 7th, and 8th. If there is STILL a tie, whomever first posted their picks will be the winner. If you notice you have identical picks with someone else who is before you, you can DM me and change your picks ONE TIME. So make certain whatever changes you make don't make you identical to anyone else. This can only be done before the deadline and also be sure to make those changes to your post here so your edit time reflects when this change was made.
All scoring rules can be changed but I'll refrain from doing so unless there's a really good argument for it.
Checking Scores
I've created a shared document (view only) that lists everyone's picks and their current standings. As the GotY lists haven't started posting yet the scores are placeholders but you should get a good idea of how it will work. I will update the "Games" sheet as the site is updated and you should be able to check how you're doing pretty easily.
