13 Runs Rules

Background info: Each participant is RANDOMLY assigned a MLB team that will be yours to follow throughout the season.

Rules: Once we have a team that scores 0-13 runs, we will wait for all other teams to play as many games as this team before a winner is crowned, to give all teams the same chance to score 0-13 runs in the same amount of games. Your team does not have to win the game being played in order to count that score. After all teams have played the same amount of games as the first team that scored 0-13 runs, a winner can be determined.

Second place finalists do not have to have equal amount of games played. A second place winner can be declared once the first place winner is determined, regardless of how many games the second place finisher plays.

Example: If the Red Sox scores 0-13 runs first in 53 games, we will wait for all other teams to play 53 games. If no other team scores 0-13 runs, Red Sox is the winner. If there are multiple teams that have reached 0-13 runs in 53 games, then there will be to be a tie breaker, which is explained below.

Normally, the game is played with only first place. But we have played before with a second place being given to the person with the least number of boxes. This ensures that even a player with a team that always scores low can have fun.

In the event of a tie: Participants will guess how many runs their team will score in their next game. Whoever makes the closest guess (absolute value) to the actual score will be the winner. If this process results in another tie, the process will repeat for the next game until a winner is determined. This tie breaker will also apply to second place.
