kkktookmybabyaway Posted July 19, 2005 Report Posted July 19, 2005 A while back I sent a PM to everyone that participated in last year's nfl pick 'em league informing them that the contest was going to be moved to another forum. Well, after seeing that a new forum may not stay around for 17 weeks, plus the playoffs, I decided to bring the contest back to TSM. Basically, the contest will be run the same way it was run last year -- rules are at the end of this post. If you participated in last year's contest, you have dibs on re-claiming your team for this year. Any returning players have until August 15 to re-claim their team. Below is a list of who was on what team. If you are in bold that means you re-claimed your team. Either let me know in this thread or via PM if you want (or don't want) to participate in this year's league. If you didn't participate in last year's contest and are interested on taking a team, just give a shout-out in this thread and I'll put you in later. Once August 15th comes and goes, and all the people that expressed interest have been taken care of, then it will be first-come-first-serve... AFC EAST Buffalo Bills (bob_barron) EPs RECEIVED Miami Dolphins (Spaceman Spiff) EPs RECEIVED New England Patriots (nl-asshole) EPs RECEIVED New York Jets (Gert T) EPs RECEIVED AFC NORTH Baltimore Ravens: (Sandman9000) EPs RECEIVED Cincinnati Bengals (KNK) EPs RECEIVED Cleveland Browns (sfaJack) EPs RECEIVED Pittsburgh Steelers (Kahran Rasus) EPs RECEIVED AFC SOUTH Houston Texans (Bored) EPs RECEIVED Indianapolis Colts (NoCal Mike) EPs RECEIVED Jacksonville Jaguars (Always Pissed Off) EPs RECEIVED Tennessee Titans (Chuck Woolery) EPs RECEIVED AFC WEST Denver Broncos (Canadian Chris) EPs RECEIVED Oakland Raiders (Che v) EPs RECEIVED Kansas City Chiefs (nogoodnick) EPs RECEIVED San Diego Chargers (Slasher Flick) EPs RECEIVED NFC EAST Dallas Cowboys (Marvin is a Lunatic) EPs RECEIVED New York Giants (Cartman) EPs RECEIVED Philadelphia Eagles (therealworld'schampion) EPs RECEIVED Washington Redskins (Human Fly) EPs RECEIVED NFC NORTH Chicago Bears (Agent of Oblivion) EPs RECEIVED Detroit Lions (bravesfan) EPs RECEIVED Green Bay Packers (Vitamin X) EPs RECEIVED Minnesota Vikings (LaParkaMarka) EPs RECEIVED NFC SOUTH Atlanta Falcons (kingof the909) EPs RECEIVED Carolina Panthers (Fazzle) EPs RECEIVED New Orleans Saints (Cuban Linx) EPs RECEIVED Tampa Bay Buccaneers (starvenger EPs RECEIVED NFC WEST Arizona Cardinals (Cena's Writer) EPs RECEIVED San Francisco 49ers (Agent Bond34) EPs RECEIVED Seattle Seahawks (Mr. Rant) EPs RECEIVED St. Louis Rams (Canadian Guitarist) EPs RECEIVED WAITING LIST: Marvin is a Lunatic ############################ RULES 'N STUFF 1) 32 TSM'ers pick their own NFL team to represent and are placed in their respective divisions. 2) Each week during the NFL season every person submits their weekly picks as to which teams will win for that week. You make picks for all the games for that week. If your claimed team has a bye week, then you don't submit picks. 3) Your picks are matched up against the picks of the person your team is matched up against. Whoever has the most correct picks wins the matchup. The following examples are taken from last year's post explaining all this. (For example: In Week 1, Cincinnati plays the NY Jets. TSM poster Swift Terror has claimed the Bengals and TSM poster Gert T has claimed the Jets, so for Week 1 their picks go head to head. Swift Terror correctly picks the winners of 8 games and Gert T correctly picks 10 winners. Gert T wins the matchup to go 1-0 in the regular season. Swift Terror loses and goes 0-1.) 4) The rules will be just like the NFL -- Only division winners and two wild card teams from each conference will get to make the post-season, etc. 5) Not only will you submit your picks, but also, as a tie-breaker, you will predict how many points your team will score that week. If you and your opponent picked the same amount of games correctly for one week, the person who more accurately predicted how many points their team would score for that week wins the matchup. If both TSMers are tied after this, then the matchup is a tie. (For example: In Week 1, Arizona and St. Louis play each other. That means Vern Gagne and cerebus are matched up against one another. Both TSM'ers correctly picked 9 winners, so they are tied. Now it's time to go to the tie-breaker. Vern predicted the Cardinals would score 10 points and cerebus predicted the Rams would score 20 points. The actual score of the game was AZ 13, STL 26. Therefore, Vern wins the matchup because he had the more accurate tie-breaker: 3 points to cereb's 6.) 6) Instead of picking the outright winners of each NFL game, there will be point spread with each NFL game. I'm hoping giving under-powered teams a few extra points might encourage some TSMers to pick them instead of going with a favored team. 7) The end-of-season tiebreakers will be the same as the NFL's (division record, conference record, etc.) 8) Before the season begins, you will have to submit a set of "Emergency Picks." More info on this will be forthcoming...
nl5xsk1 Posted July 19, 2005 Report Posted July 19, 2005 New England Patriots (nl5xsk1) What? No insult? No name-calling? You're not mellowing with age, are you, kkk?

nl5xsk1 Posted July 19, 2005 Report Posted July 19, 2005 No, just lazy -- I copied and pasted last year's roster. ... happy now?... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Happier, yes. Looking forward to more insults to follow. Hey, I'll even try to participate in the post season this year.
kkktookmybabyaway Posted July 19, 2005 Author Report Posted July 19, 2005 Well first you have to claim your team, faggot...
nl5xsk1 Posted July 19, 2005 Report Posted July 19, 2005 As kkk's favorite poster, I think it's only right that I re-claim the Patriots. Pats, please.
Guest Posted July 19, 2005 Report Posted July 19, 2005 I did have the Colts at the other board, but if I can't have them here I'll wait until a team drops out.
Guest Black Widow Posted July 19, 2005 Report Posted July 19, 2005 I also had the Bills on the other board.
Guest Black Widow Posted July 19, 2005 Report Posted July 19, 2005 Nyet waiting list. I don't play second fiddle to bob fucking barron.
kkktookmybabyaway Posted July 19, 2005 Author Report Posted July 19, 2005 If Flyboy doesn't take the Saints, I'll move Bob there and you'll take Buffalo...
therealworldschampion Posted July 19, 2005 Report Posted July 19, 2005 If MD2020 doesn't come back, then I'll claim the Eagles...
Kahran Ramsus Posted July 19, 2005 Report Posted July 19, 2005 I'm interested if there is a free team. My first choice is obviously Green Bay, but since Vitamin X is probably going to come back I'll take whatever is free (hopefully not the Lions, Vikes or Bears).
Brett Favre Posted July 19, 2005 Report Posted July 19, 2005 I'll take the Jets if Gert T doesn't reclaim it. If he does, i'll take whichever team is next available.
Guest Vitamin X Posted July 19, 2005 Report Posted July 19, 2005 Hopefully taking my Packers to a place the real ones probably won't even come close to sniffing this year. And on a sidenote, I'm kind of happy it's taking place on here. The sports folder on the other forum really sucks (sucked?) in comparison to here.
Cartman Posted July 19, 2005 Report Posted July 19, 2005 Once again the Defending champion re-claims his Giants.
Cuban Linx Posted July 20, 2005 Report Posted July 20, 2005 I'll grab a vacated team if i can. Ideally the Titans, but if Chuck still claims them then i'll take whoever.
CanadianChris Posted July 20, 2005 Report Posted July 20, 2005 I have to reclaim my team AGAIN? I should write a macro for this, I do it so often. Back with the Broncos.
USC Wuz Robbed! Posted July 20, 2005 Report Posted July 20, 2005 I have to reclaim my team AGAIN? I should write a macro for this, I do it so often. Back with the Broncos. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> This time I shall sweep you!
Guest *KNK* Posted July 20, 2005 Report Posted July 20, 2005 I will take any vacant team. If I have a choice, Bengals
CanadianGuitarist Posted July 20, 2005 Report Posted July 20, 2005 I'd like the Raiders, please, KKK. Thanks, dude.
Guest Posted July 20, 2005 Report Posted July 20, 2005 Wait in line before assuming what team you will get.
Annabelle Posted July 21, 2005 Report Posted July 21, 2005 I'd like the Raiders, please, KKK. Thanks, dude. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> nice try, faggot.
