2020 Double Elimination Reverse Suicide Pool

I’ll set up shop here, preparing for when DWS closes the backdoor to the AO.

Returning for the 16th season is the Double Elimination Reverse Suicide Pool!!!

Prior Winners:

2005: Butters
2006: ReserveRage
2007: PosterNutBag
2008: Da Bears!
2009: Kid Rock
2010: Warrior04
2011: Random Poster
2012: Random Poster

Rules:

  1. Pick a team each week of the NFL season. If they win or tie, you get a strike. If you get 2 strikes, you are out.

  2. You may only pick each team once during the contest.

  3. If you fail to make a pick, you will get a strike and the team whose ‘city’ is closest to A will no longer be available to you.

  4. A pick must be AO timestamped by 15 minutes before the kickoff of the game the team is involved in to be valid.

  5. Do not edit posts with a pick in it. I will use your last valid post as your pick for the week, so if you want to make a change, just make a new post.

  6. If I make an error in the official picks/standings post, you are responsible for pointing it out and having me make the correction.

Special Week 17 Rules
If more than 1 person survives to week 17, the following rules apply:

(1) Each player should submit a list to me via PM of all 16 teams they have remaining, in order from most likely to lose to least likely to lose.

(2) Picks are due 1 hour before the first game of the week.

(3) Once the deadline is past, I will post a table of the picks.

(4) There are essentially 16 separate week 17s. For 17-1, everyone’s first pick will be evaluated, and you will advance or get a strike. If it is your second strike, you will be eliminated. We then move on to 17-2, 17-3, 17-4, etc until we have a single winner.

(5) If all remaining players are eliminated in a particular round, then no one will receive a strike for that round and we will continue on.

(6) If two or more players survive past 17-16, they will be co-champions.

I’ll continue to take picks on the AO or in here.

Week 7, Den to lose

I picked Jax to lose this week (I think). Looks like the other site went down.

Sigh

I’ll try and post the usual table, and see if it works here…if not we’ll figure out something.

Huh…kinda digging this new site. Just a copy/paste in from excel…no need to deal with the code stuff.

Week 7: Charlotte Panthers

So far only arby has been eliminated, but he’ll be joined tomorrow by accobra_kid if he doesn’t find us and make a MNF pick.

WK8 I’m gonna go with the low hanging fruit, give me the New York J-E-T-S to lose bigly.
