I dont have HTML anymore, so this version may not be as dramatic

YOU CAN PLAY IN BOTH VERSIONS, JUST BE SURE AND POST IN THE RIGHT THREAD EVERY WEEK.

Listen up, maggots, the Rules:

I will post the matchups for each week, pick one game, and one game only, and pick the team that you think will win.

You have until noon EST on the day of that game to post your team.

If your team wins, you "survive" to the next week.

If they lose, you "die" and are out of the game.

You start the regular season with two "BYES" you may use them instead of making a pick for that week.

If, you team loses by 7 or less points and its a possible bullshit call causing such, you have until noon on Tuesday following the week to post "BULLSHIT" and which game it was for. You will lose ALL BYES that you have left, and you must have at least one BYE to call BULLSHIT.

The winner is the last one standing, and I will give them a prize valued around the $20 range

In the event of a tie, and its not the last week of the season, the people tied will play a slightly different game the next week. I will post details then if I need to.

You cannot pick the same team to win two weeks in a row, but you may pick the same team as many times as you want otherwise. (does not count for preseason picks)



1st round: preseason week 3:

if you play this week and win, you will get a third BYE for the regular season, if you lose, you are still in the game, and since this is the easy game, you get to go for a FOURTH BYE next week!

well shit, I'll start this next week then

8/25/2008 6:09:38 PM

^ woaaah, gonna need a ruling on that.

8/25/2008 6:19:02 PM

A ruling on what? The first two weeks are just to get extra byes, like last year.

I see no fault in starting next week

if you'd prefer I can pick one for tonight's game, but it's after noon

SD, if you're forcing me to pick

there's no real penalty this week except for losing an extra bye, so assuming I picked something and lost, it would have the same effect
