    • Tiebreaker #1 - The entrant who has made the most Winning Picks among the remaining entries will be considered the winner.

    Tiebreaker #1 is for the case that a tie game doesn't eliminate somebody. They aren't credited with a win though, just the honor of not losing.

    Hmmm. It would appear the rules have changed since last year. Guess I should bother reading the rules.

    I may have confused myself with some other games. Or maybe that's how to win their official prize?
    I figured it was a survivor type league, where you can't pick a team more than once and when you lose you're out. Looks like this runs all season and you just remove teams from your pool of possible picks.

    I'm actually Highflyer and I had no idea I won the Eliminator last year. For some reason it won't let me change the name next to my team name to my BG name. I figured you'd want to use my BG user name instead of some random name that isn't connected to the site in any way.

    Fixed.

    And I see the Browns took out about seven people in Eliminator.

    So... there were 6 perfect entries left before this week. All six had the Titans.

    Whoops.

    So those six teams are still tied for first, as the stated tiebreaker is the longest streak to start the season. Don't stopping picking just because you missed one today.

    I had friends over yesterday, turned on Red Zone and the first thing I see is MJD's touchdown. Had such a bad feeling after that, but figured everyone else would be fucked too, lol.

    Wow, Eliminator is fucked. The four people who were all tied for the lead lost again, leaving seven people tied for first.
