Chaos Commish

I'll score this if the guys at DraftGuys don't want to do it for me/us.
Construx will offer up cash and prizes to the winner. Otherwise this is for bragging rights.
There aren't that many mockers around here anyway, so it shouldn't be any worse than the contest I did last year.
I found this scoring system a year ago in a thread similar to the one here complaining about the validity of oversimplified results. I have never tried this system.
Mock Draft Contest Scoring SystemNegative PointsIF anyone in your top 10 misses the first round you get negative 25 pointsIf anyone in your top 10 misses the first 20 picks you get negative 10 points.IF anyone in your 11-20 misses the first round you get negative 7 pointsIF anyone in your 21-32 misses the first round you get negative 2 points.. Positive PointsIF anyone in your first five picks is correct for team and slot you get 2 points.IF anyone in your first five picks is correct only for team or slot you get 1 point.IF anyone in your 6-12 picks is correct for team and slot you get 3 points.IF anyone in your 6-12 is only correct for team or slot you get 2 points.IF anyone in your 6-12 is off by one selection slot you get 1 point.IF anyone in your 13-20 is correct for team and slot you get 4 points.IF anyone in your 13-20 is only correct for team or slot you get 3 points.IF anyone in your 13-20 is off by one selection slot you get 2 points.IF anyone in your 13-20 is off by two selection slots you get 1 points.IF anyone in your 21-32 is correct for team and slot you get 5 points.IF anyone in your 21-32 is only correct for team and slot you get 4 points.IF anyone in your 21-32 is off by one selection slot you get 3 points.IF anyone in your 21-32 is off by two selection slots you get 2 points.IF anyone in your 21-32 is off by three selection slots you get 1 point.Bonus PointsIF you have all 32 first round selections in your mock you get a job with the Detroit Lions (this has never happened, but you also get 100 points).IF you have 31... 5030... 4029... 3028... 2527... 2026... 1525... 1024... 5IF you have all 10 of the first 10 selections in your top 10 you get 25 points9... 158... 107... 5IF you have all players selected 11-20 in your 11-20 you get 35 points9... 258... 157... 106... 5IF you have 10 of the players selected 21-32 in your 21-32 you get 40 points9... 308... 207... 156... 105... 5I didn't take the time to analyze the scoring. It seemed to me like someone put some serious thought into producing a true winner so there it is. If someone wants to crunch numbers to seek a major flaw, I am listening. At a glance it looks like there may be too much weight on some of the bonuses. The poster who ran this contest last year claimed it never produced a controversy and the winner in this system is always crystal clear.
Anyway, post a mock at FBGs and you are entered whether you like it or not. I'd prefer your entry here, but will gladly attach the Andy, Colin, Blooms, and others to the contest. I understand the desire to have a mock in a thread of it's own. Be sure to update it in a new post, rather than editing, should you make last minute changes. I can't imagine scoring system changes changing your projections so this system is open for discussion especially should a convincing flaw be revealed. That discussion is closed Saturday, April 21st at midnight PDT.
I know many who try their hand at mocking will be making changes right up to the night of the draft (when the juicy information is flowing). I can see a situation where a trade is announced minutes before the draft and people try to quickly post a current version. The draft begins Saturday, April 28th, at high noon EST. The deadline for submission to this contest is Saturday, April 28th, 11:45 AM, EST. Anyway, this might make the draft more fun for some of us. I might even enter. I'm not around as much as I was a year ago, so perhaps give this an occasional bump when new mocks are posted elsewhere (by pasting the new version).
I have no idea what scoring this beast will involve, but Andy has countless idle hours at work to program the spreadsheet for us.
Post a mock.
eta: I already modified the scoring some. It makes more sense to me, but no sense trying to explain it. It's better though.
