1. If you do not pick a team for the first day of the contest, you can't join midway through, you'll have to wait
for the next game to start.Look for the word *NEW* in the thread title.
2. Anyone can join, just pick which team you think will lose, you cant pick that team again for 2 weeks.
3. When a new game starts your prior picks are erased and you can choose from any of the teams again.
4. Once you pick a winning team, you're considered a loser, please leave ;)
5. Your pick must be in before that particular game starts.
6. If you do not submit a pick for a given day, it will be counted as a loss, errr, a win, and you will be eliminated.
7. If there is a day with less than 3 games on the schedule, we skip that day and pick things up the day after.
8. Once we get to the final 2 players, a couple of new rules are thrown in…
a. Your pick cannot be posted more than 24 hours before that game starts.
b. The two finalists cannot have the same picks, first come first serve.
c. If one of the finalists does not make a pick, they are automatically declared as eliminated, regardless of
the results of the other finalists pick. If BOTH finalists do not make a pick, they are considered lame and I
will hold this against you forever.
-Tiebreaker -amongst the teams you've picked, sum up their losses on the season.That is how you get
your tiebreaker number.The lower the better, it rewards you for picking better teams and staying away
from the bad teams.If there is ever a day where everyone picks a winner, the tiebreaker will eliminate
every remaining player who doesn't have the lowest number (there may still be 2 or more people with
identical tiebreakers, so they'd keep playing another day)

I just had to post the whole thing because it really is unbelievable.
I believe Balrog has set a record for most consecutive winners with 9. I'll have to dig to check on that.
BTW - last year we had 20 rounds total. We're about to start #21 and we've still got 2 months left!

J you must be referring to most consecutive winners in a single game. Looks like Rick007 hit 18 winners straight last month. That's truly unbelievable.
btw..nice to have a record that can never be beat ;)

Taxman, Rick007 picked 18 losers in a row, which is a good thing. I picked 9 winners, which is a bad thing.
