Subject: NFL Pick the loser. Week 1. 2006.

  Posted by: C.SuperFreak - [42671220] Thu, Sep 07, 2006, 00:48
Let's see if this works for football. Rules taken from J's mlb pick the loser game. Wasn't sure if J was running one for football. J if you are planning on running one I'll delete this thread.

Here goes:

Rules:
1. Each week pick only ONE team from the schedule of games to lose. One team only. No point spread.
2. If you do not pick a team for the first week of the contest, you can't join midway 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 a game that hasn't started yet.
Otherwise, a cancel is as good as a win, meaning, you're out!
8. Once we get to the final few players, a couple of new rules are thrown in…
a. Your pick has to be in before the start time of first game of the week.
b. If still tied at the end of the season we'll carry over to post season.

Pick wisely, pick well.

good luck with this CSF :)
never really thought about doing it with the NFL, I'm curious to see how long the "loser" lasts...

      Thu, Sep 07, 2006, 10:33 		It could get really interesting if multiple teams make it to the play-offs. The option would be to either to make all picks eligible (forget who was a prior pick) or end week 17 and the person with the lowest # of losses wins.

      Fri, Sep 08, 2006, 10:33 		Perhaps we should let those 'eliminated' keep picking. We can still see who can produce the longest streak, and we can also see who can get the most right over a 17 week season still following the rule that each person cannot pick the same team twice over the course of the season.
