You may or may not have noticed a new addition to my blog. It's called ExpectNet! and it's an online baby pool. All you have to do it click on the box (or I'll provide the web link at the bottom) and you make a guess of our baby's:
Gender
Birth Weight
Birth Length
Date of Birth
Time of Birth
It's something fun to do for the next 6 1/2 months! After the baby is born, I will have a prize for the winner. Apparently there's a point system scale which I will post below.
If you guess before our anatomy ultrasound, you will not be penalized for the wrong gender. I will lock out the game on March 15, 2012. Happy Guessing!
Once the baby is born, those guesses are compared to the birth stats to determine an overall winner and a winner in each category. Penalty points are assigned depending on how far the guess is from the actual value. To calculate a player's overall rank, the points from each category are totalled. Points are assigned as follows, however they can be changed by the game host:
- incorrect gender: 0 points
- birth date & time: 5 points/hour
- weight: 5 points/ounce or 0.2 points/gram
- length: 10 points/inch or 4 points/centimeter
The winner is the person with the fewest points. This is one of many possible methods of calculating an overall winner. For a game with multiple births, an overall winner is calculated for each baby.
