SteVo+ 3,702 Posted September 3, 2012 (edited) Rules & Procedures-Within a weekly matchup, whoever picks more winning teams is declared the winner. If two opponents have the same record, the tiebreaker is whoever best guesses the total points scored in the Monday Night Football game. If two opponents' guesses are equidistant from the actual figure, the member whose guess does not exceed the figure is declared the winner.-Two-way ties within a division will be broken by head-to-head record.-Three-way ties, if not broken by head-to-head record (i.e. A>B, B>C, C>A), will be broken by division record, then overall pick percentage.-Six players from each conference will make the playoffs: the three division winners and three wild cards--the three non-division winners with the best records. The best two division winners by record will receive a first-round bye.-Playoff rules for the first two weeks can be found on Page 1.I know that having six playoff teams out of eight teams in a conference is too much, but that is the only way to do this. I think that will make this competition more interesting.I've divided 16 participants into 4 divisions. AFC North and NFC South were easy to build but I had to add another guy to NFC East division and an NFC guy to AFC Central division.AFC NorthBarracuda 2-9Chernobyl426 11-0House 5-6 Trident 6-5AFC CentralJetsFan4Life Zack 2-9Rain Man 6-5RazorStar 7-4Vin 6-5NFC EastBay 6-5Dutch 4-5-2NYGFH 5-5-1SteVo 9-2NFC SouthEefluxx 7-4BMarsh 2-7-2NBB 0-10-1Thanatos 7-4There are 9 divisional games, everyone plays each divisional opponent 3 times, 4 conference games and 4 non-conference games, two from each division.Schedule Week 1:Barracuda vs TridentChernobyl vs HouseJetsFan4Life vs RazorStarVin vs Rain ManBay vs NYGFHSteVo vs DutchJulio4Ever vs NBBThanatos vs EefluxxWeek 2:Chernobyl vs BarracudaHouse vs TridentVin vs JetsFan4LifeRazorStar vs Rain ManSteVo vs BayNYGFH vs DutchThanatos vs Julio4EverNBB vs EefluxxWeek 3:Barracuda vs HouseTrident vs ChernobylJetsFan4Life vs Rain ManRazorStar vs VinBay vs DutchNYGFH vs SteVoEefluxx vs Julio4EverNBB vs ThanatosWeek 4:JetsFan4Life vs BarracudaTrident vs RazorStarVin vs ChernobylHouse vs Rain ManJulio4Ever vs BayNYGFH vs NBBThanatos vs SteVoEefluxx vs DutchWeek 5:Barracuda vs RazorStarJetsFan4Life vs TridentRain Man vs ChernobylHouse vs VinNBB vs BayJulio4Ever vs NYGFHSteVo vs EefluxxDutch vs ThanatosWeek 6:Vin vs BarracudaRain Man vs TridentChernobyl vs JetsFan4LifeRazorStar vs HouseBay vs ThanatosNYGFH vs EefluxxSteVo vs Julio4EverNBB vs DutchWeek 7:Barracuda vs Rain ManTrident vs VinRazorStar vs ChernobylHouse vs JetsFan4LifeBay vs EefluxxThanatos vs NYGFHNBB vs SteVoJulio4Ever vs DutchWeek 8:House vs BarracudaChernobyl vs TridentJetsFan4Life vs Rain ManVin vs RazorStarDutch vs BayNYGFH vs SteVoEefluxx vs Julio4EverNBB vs ThanatosWeek 9:Chernobyl vs BarracudaHouse vs TridentVin vs JetsFan4LifeRazorStar vs Rain ManSteVo vs BayDutch vs NYGFHJulio4Ever vs ThanatosEefluxx vs NBBWeek 10:Barracuda vs TridentChernobyl vs HouseRazorStar vs JetsFan4LifeRain Man vs VinBay vs NYGFHDutch vs StevoNBB vs Julio4EverThanatos vs EefluxxWeek 11:Bay vs BarracudaNYGFH vs TridentSteVo vs ChernobylHouse vs DutchJetsFan4Life vs Julio4EverNBB vs RazorStarVin vs ThanatosRain Man vs EefluxxWeek 12:Barracuda vs DutchTrident vs SteVoChernobyl vs NYGFHHouse vs BayEefluxx vs JetsFan4LifeRazorStar vs ThanatosNBB vs VinJulio4Ever vs Rain ManWeek 13:Julio4Ever vs BarracudaTrident vs NBBThanatos vs ChernobylEefluxx vs HouseBay vs JetsFan4LifeRazorStar vs NYGFHSteVo vs VinRain Man vs DutchWeek 14:Barracuda vs EefluxxTrident vs ThanatosChernobyl vs NBBHouse vs Julio4EverJetsFan4Life vs DutchSteVo vs RazorStarVin vs NYGFHRain Man vs BayWeek 15:Barracuda vs ChernobylHouse vs TridentVin vs JetsFan4LifeRazorStar vs Rain ManBay vs SteVoNYGFH vs DutchJulio4Ever vs ThanatosNBB vs EefluxxWeek 16:House vs BarracudaChernobyl vs TridentRain Man vs JetsFan4LifeVin vs RazorStarDutch vs BaySteVo vs NYGFHThanatos vs NBBJulio4Ever vs EefluxxWeek 17:Trident vs BarracudaChernobyl vs HouseJetsFan4Life vs RazorStarVin vs Rain ManNYGFH vs BayDutch vs StevoNBB vs Julio4EverEefluxx vs Thanatos Edited November 20, 2013 by Vin 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanatos 2,847 Posted September 3, 2012 (edited) I like how you have the divisions somewhat arranged by fans of the teams. The NFC East has 2 Cowboy fans and 2 Eagles fans, the Central, a Bucs, Saints, Panthers, and Falcons fan, the West has two Niners fans, a Seahawks fan, and a Bucs fan. Obviously you couldn't get it set up perfectly, but still a nice touch. Oh yeah, and you are all going down.

RazorStar 4,025 Posted September 5, 2012 Got no issues with the playoff format. 6 is a good number, not too many make it, and ensures strong divisions don't have their users screwed because of only one wild card while a weak division could have their guy sneak in.

SteVo+ 3,702 Posted September 5, 2012 Also guys, keep in mind as the season goes along that we've got a game on Thursday every week, so at the very least, make sure you make a pick on Thursday's game in time, then get your full slate of picks in before Sunday. Preferably do this with two posts, because if you go back and edit your original post, it looks like cheating. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RazorStar 4,025 Posted September 5, 2012 I was gonna say something about the timestamp, but then I realized you could edit the TNF game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thanatos 2,847 Posted September 10, 2012 I was just thinking of something that needs to be added here. Picks should not be able to changed once the 1:00pm games on Sunday start. The reason for this is that someone could see that they need to change their pick for SNF or MNF in order to try to tie with their opponent, or in order to prevent their opponent from being to tie. So for pick 'em wars, I say you should not be able to change your picks, any of them, once the 1pm games start. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's kind of an unofficial rule already, since anybody who edits their posts once the week of action has begun is DQ'd anyway. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
