1. Each week pick only ONE team from the schedule of games to lose. One teamonly. No point spread.
2. If you do not pick a team for the first week of the contest, you can't joinmidway through, you'll have to wait for next season.
3. Anyone can join, just pick which team you think will lose.
Beware, you can't pick that team again for the remainder of the season.
4. Once you pick a winner, you're considered a loser, please leave ;)
5. Your pick must be submitted before that particular game starts.
6. If you do not submit a pick for a given week, it will be counted as a win,and you will be eliminated.
7. If your game gets cancelled, you will be allowed to change your pick to agame that hasn't started yet.
Otherwise, a cancel is as good as a win, meaning, you're out!

In the case a tiebreaker is required (should all teams win)
-please pick the total number of points you think that the team you have picked to lose (the Giants) will score. Closet to the number will be declared the winner/loser/champ.

example: Giants 24

Over or Under matter? IE closest with out going over?

Although I'm okay with whatever is decided here, what is the argument against naming any that go undefeated here as a co-winner? I know it's not a perfect solution but for a player to go without losing and NOT be declared a winner of some sort is difficult to imagine.

For the sake of all that is right, why not just play this through all the playoff rounds, if neccessary. If, after the playoffs, there is more than one that survives unscathed, then just name them all as co-winners. No need to get fancy here. Just keep it as simple as it's always been.

Just my two cents....

Makes no difference to me as well. Maybe for the last week we should prohibit anyone from picking the Giants..... just to shake things up.

I guess that's my point Dave R. Why do things need to shaken up? Can't we just keep things as status quo? Just let it run its course throughout the playoffs and let whatever be, be.

I'd be fine without having the tie breaker and letting things run their course. If multiple people could pick correctly through the Super Bowl, then list them all as winning.

First off I would like to thank SuperFreak for his dedication to keeping this going.
It would be difficult for most of us to show this kind of dedication if we were knocked out in week 2.
Thank you.

I would also like to keep this going through the playoffs with a carryover of the teams picked.
Could be a real interesting if you are faced with having to pick the Pats as the loser in the SB.

If that is not possible to keep it going then my 2nd choice would be to declare co-winners.

Of course I will abide by whatever decision is made.

I have no problem with naming co-winners. That's not the intent of the tiebreaker. I just need a score to hand out the prize. My problem is that I only have 1 prize.

The points don't matter if your pick loses you'll move onto the playoffs.

Bond, If everyone loses this weekend they are losers. There would be no winner.

There's a prize involved here? Silly me, I didn't even know that.

By the way, thanks C. SuperFreak for your fine and underappreciated efforts to keep this game going and up-to-date.

Yes, I do realize the possibility that we all could be losers by the end of this week's games but I did want to stress my opinions on a couple of matters. Having said all that, it's time to throw a curve:

Detroit----17 points

Sucks, but I'm definitely rooting for the Giants here, even if it does end my pick the loser run.

Grats to Bond on winning the prize I didn't know about, haha. We're all still in, but we were all way off on the Giant's score. At least I was closest for those Giant pickers :D

Everyone's still in.

The points are in case everyone's pick won. Points are meaningless if there are losers.

Resetting for the playoffs....

Oh, I obviously didn't read correctly and thought it was a tiebreaker for the prize for the regular season.
