2016 BG Football Pickems

[Byrd]

New season is up. Group Name for all is: OrderoftheBlueGartr. All of these go all season, with a different set of games every week, so you need to have at least some level of dedication to win. If you were in any of these leagues last year, you should be able to simply click rejoin. There is no cost to enter, but nor is there a prize other than your name on the list at the bottom of this post.

Note: I changed all the passwords from last year, as I think they were two years out of date. You might have to re-enter the new ones to rejoin. Kind of sorry, but not really.

College Pick Em: Pick 10 college games, rank em in order of priority. Changes every week, all games are Saturday games in case you're wondering about the lineup selection missing good games. Most points (not picks) at the end of the year wins.

NFL Pick Em: Simple, straight up. Pick each game every week. Most correct picks wins at the end of the year. Worst week dropped in case you forget one, which you can't do in the College Pick Em, which I've always thought is weird.

Eliminator: Pick one winner every week, you can't pick the same team twice. Whoever picks the most total correct winners wins. Ties are broken by most consecutive wins to start the season, after that we go to whatever standard ESPN tiebreakers are.

If you have any questions, or any problems trying to join, let me know.

Also, if anyone's interested in playing a $35 chip league pool, send me a PM. Start with 10,000 chips, bet any amount of those on any major college or NFL game you want vs. the spread, over/under, or you can parlay up to 15 results; whoever has the most chips at the end of the Super Bowl wins. Winner last year only had 27,000 chips and he won $420.09 off his $35 investment; we had 23 entries and paid out to 3rd. Xajii and Boyiee both played last year, although neither finished in the money.

[Ksandra]

Oh thats what happened? I thought you quit cause doing so bad

I did so bad the first year and stuck with it!

But ya, that was also a demotivator. Grade papers vs. pick all the wrong teams.

[Melena]

Doesn't look like it accepted the password change the first time for some reason; try it again using the new password.

[Boyiee]

Might be because we were in the league last year. I didn't have to put in any passwords. Just hit rejoin after logging in.
