kkktookmybabyaway 0 Report post 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...

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... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
