Forecasters Challenge 2010
I am once more issuing a challenge to all those who have a forecasting system to join the Forecasters Challenge 2010. This time, rather than pitting everyone against each other in a huge league, I am going to put each one in a league of 21 amateurs, a Pro v Joes competition. Where will I find these 21 amateurs? I’ll tell you about that soon. But it won’t be 21 amateurs. It will be 100 leagues of 21 amateurs, so more like 2100 amateurs. And I will pit the Pro in each of these 100 leagues, simply swapping out one Pro for another Pro in every draft. This way, the Pros face the same amateur competition. You can get a feel for this based on how I ran it in 2009:

Otherwise, the rules will remain pretty much the same:

And if you wanted to see the results from the 2009 competition:

So, if you are someone with a forecasting system, send me an email at tom~tangotiger~net, replacing the ~ as appropriate. I’m going to limit it to 25 systems, and priority will go to those who participated in 2009. So, first come first serve for the wait list.
