Scoring: Getting number 1 or number 10 dead-on gets you 13 points (each). The rest of the scoring goes like this: 10 points for numbers 2-9 dead-on, 7 points if your pick was only one spot away from where it ended up, 5 points if it was two spots away, 3 points if your pick is anywhere in the Top 10, 1 point for each dark horse that makes it into the Top 10. The scoring is tabulated so that you get the SINGLE HIGHEST point value for each pick- that is, if you get number ten right, you don’t get 13+3, you only get 13.
Thanks to Slashfilm for the great idea.
