PTTE means Picks to the END. In this game, you want a low score.
Make two lists a WILL GO LIST of how you think the Top 13 will finish. You can change this list throughout the season but it will cost you +4 points each time you change your list (only one +4 penalty per week)
The 2nd list is my favorite...it's the SHOULD GO list of how YOU would have them finish if you were sole judge. This list YOU CANNOT change ever!!
You get points for how far from accurate your list is..so if think Ashthon will win this thing and she leaves 13th, you would get 12 points.
Here are your TOP 13 Contestants
Ashton Jones
Haley Reinhart
Karen Rodriguez
Lauren Alaina Suddeth
Naima Adedap
Pia Toscano
Thia Megia
Casey Abrams
Jacob Lusk
James Durbin
Paul McDonald

I'm confused - yes, I know I've played before and even won - but are you saying Casey's going home first or winning in your Will Go list?
Based on the rankings she posted, I would guess she's got Casey winning it all.
Well, that's just wrong. Everyone knows the winner goes on the bottom! And for us that are especially obtuse "- winner" is usually stated next to the name. ;)

LAST EDITED ON 03-10-11 AT 02:01 AM (EST)Me, I've never thought it makes any sense to do your PTTE until you've heard the contestants do it for real in Week 1. Too much selective and uneven editing in the weeks leading up to the real thing.

Um, dude..."Get your lists in by Weds, March 9, 2010 8:00 EST. BEFORE THE SHOW STARTS"
![]()
I understand the rules, Corv, I just happen to disagree with that one. I feel the better test of one's prognostication abilities vis-a-vis AI is to wait until after the Week 1 performances and call your shot then.I don't feel like we've had an equitable look into each final candidate's talent prior to that. Like, I couldn't tell you two things about Lauren Rodriguez before the week of the top 24. Maybe I just didn't pay enough attention early on, but I feel like I can't make a sound judgment, top to bottom, until I hear them do it for reals one good time. I'll take the four point penalty in order to have that opportunity....
It's worked out pretty well for me before....
Wednesday IS after you've heard them sing on Tuesday.But I'm sure Emy will take your note into consideration and make appropriate changes. Or not.
psst...they sing on weds now...but see my post below....
*snortIt's a good thing you're changing as I edited my list AFTER they sang.
Not that I was trying to cheat, I just read your mind.
LAST EDITED ON 03-11-11 AT 10:50 AM (EST)I was thinking about this before you posted when I saw that the Office Pool game was wiping the slate clean after week 1
The slates are wiped Clean!!
Please make your new Will GO and Should GO lists and take out Ashthon!
Any new players can also join with no Penalty...smidge you have to push the PTTE in the ECST!
But the new lists are due before the Top 12 sings on March 16, 2011 EDT *we lose an hour this weekend.
BTW, if you don't change your lists by next weds. I'll just take out Ashthon and renumber your lists accordingly.
Oh, hey, what's the rule on making changes again? As I recall, you pick up some penalty points... I forgot how many, though.
From Em's first post:"You can change this list throughout the season but it will cost you +4 points each time you change your list (only one +4 penalty per week) "
Only the will go list can be changed.
Hah! I feel like I just asked, "Pass the salt, please?", when the saltshaker is sitting right in front of me.And not for the first time!
no penaltyt this week thoughSlates wiped clean!

Welcome Mom!! Thanks for playing and Good Luck!!!
So as 99% of us have Casey as a winner, if he winds up leaving the competion due to health reasons do we get a free do-over? Because that will change everything.![]()
