Battle of the Managers: East vs. West

Hello everyone! This will be a new column where Craig Jones, the manager of the Carolina Cobras, and myself, Leo Martinez, the manager of the Arizona Scorpions will be predicting the results of the rest of the teams of the league each week.  There are many different people doing predictions each week but this contest will be specifically between me and Craig. Craig has been my friend for a long time but while we are doing predictions our friendship is left at the door!

Unlike other predictors we are tallying up the team points as well as individual points.   For each individual correct answer the predictor gets one point.  For team points it is slightly more complicated. You get 2 points for the correct result. 1 bonus point for guessing the right point total at 2.5-1.5, 2 bonus points for guessing the right point total at 3-1 or 2-2 and 3 bonus points for guessing the correct point total at 3.5-1.5.

Also we will be guessing only other teams matches…not our own. You can see Carolina’s blog and Craig’s predictions here.

There are also prizes for each winner.  Stay tuned for what the losers have to do!
