Per board rules there is no prize, monetary or otherwise, for winning this competition.
Consider these ten states which are each holding a Senate election in 2022 (note: some races, notably Georgia, may not be decided until 2023):
Arizona
Colorado
Florida
Georgia
Nevada
New Hampshire
North Carolina
Ohio
Pennsylvania
Wisconsin
To enter, for each of these races choose whether D or R will win the senate seat, and then assign a confidence value from 1 to 10 to each. Each confidence value must be used exactly once. Points in the amount of the confidence value will be awarded for correct guesses and incorrect guesses will earn zero points i.e. assign 10 points to the race where you are most confident of the outcome and 1 point to the race where you are least confident. The total number of points earned will be used to rank entries from best to worst.
For example, my entry (subject to change, see below) looks like this right now…
| State | Party | Confidence |
|---|---|---|
| Arizona | D | 1 |
| Colorado | D | 9 |
| Florida | R | 10 |
| Georgia | D | 4 |
| Nevada | R | 3 |
| New Hampshire | D | 8 |
| North Carolina | R | 7 |
| Ohio | R | 5 |
| Pennsylvania | D | 2 |
| Wisconsin | R | 6 |
Entries will be accepted until November 7, 11:59:59 PM CT. To enter, just post one in this thread. Entries can be updated by posting again before the deadline. Most recent pre-deadline post will be the official entry. Previous entries will be ignored.
If the rules are unclear or for any reason you are unsure of how to complete your entry, just ask, either in this thread or in a DM to me.
I might be a little early starting this thread, but there’s 29 days to go and I’m in full time poll watching mode for the duration. There’s going to be some bumps.
