NCAA Football: Who will win the ACC Championship?

Miami, Florida State and Maryland are all listed as Other team.

Will these markets be suspended for the entire season?

"Suspend date is set to one day prior to any regular season game."

Yes, the markets that I've set up are planned to suspend at the beginning of the regular season, and remain suspended until a champion is announced.

I'd like to hear if "in play" markets are interesting to other hubdubbers.

@onedave
actually, both the Atlantic and Coastal Division of the ACC have 6 teams each. So, the other can be one of six teams.

@cognos
If Duke wins the ACC football Championship, I would be very surprised.

if they clearly mark them as in play so all HD'S know, i would say yes. as donal has already stated he decides which questions get to be in play. when would you suggest the suspend time be for football in play questions?

@onedave
yeah, but I wouldn't want to offend any of our Duke fans out there. ;)

@dieseldog
absolutely. I think these would be very interesting markets for in-play.
these markets are not "in-game" in-play, but would be seasonal "in-play". whatever donal decides is fine with me. however, i can see where some of these markets could 'freeze' if certain teams attain such dominance within their conference. So, maybe suspend after 6 weeks of play, 8 weeks? NCAA teams play about 12 games in regular season, as far as I can tell, with most seasons ending the last week in November.
what are your thoughts?

@donal
your comments please.

I say we should leave this market open at least through 6-7 weeks of play. Not very much money has been wagered so far either. If we keep it open we can see those spikes and dips in the Hubdub graph we love so much. Plus it's not even September yet, people aren't thinking about NCAA football, much less who will win conference championships. The people who want to wager during the season couldn't if we suspended this market, either.

Plus market suspension dates should be selected as a date when an outcome could occur. No conference champions will be crowned any time soon.

I think it would be fun to leave them open also. Perhaps they can suspend before conference championship games. Although one team may have a better season, often the conference championship games determine the winner.

i'm happy if everybody else is happy. as long as ALL people know whats up. wouldn't wanna take advantage of the new folk or destry :O)

As the author, I will leave it up to Donal to decide. I would have absolutely no problem if these markets were recontructed as discussed, modifying the suspend date to no more than 10 weeks of play.

@cognos - Donal has moved on. mrperfkt (Mark) is now the category editor of Sports.

Ah, that's right. Duh!

We've got about 4 days.
Any objections?

All in favor?!
Actually, the "in play" markets would typically refer more to questions on games that are in progress. I like the idea of leaving these types of questions open so that we can follow the progress...at least to a reasonable point (not after the championship game is played).

The ACC Championship game is scheduled for 12/6 and the final season games are 11/29. So, how about suspending just before the last regular season games?

I'll edit accordingly, if that makes sense.

In favor?
Aye!

I move (like Hillary just did), to suspend the vote, and keep these markets open "by acclaimation".
