$100 Gamelive NFL Survivor contest courtesy of Good Guys Zone

[IAG]

I'm going to use part of Kato and Reno's forfeited zone win to fund. If there are not at least 7 entries by tomorrow, I will start this effective NFL week 2 as I want participation.

I'm pretty sure most of you are familiar with the rules. Pick one NFL team each week to win (SU-no spread) and you may not use same team twice. Winner is last person standing. In the event of a tie, winner will be determined by a tiebreaker decided by me at a later date.


Picks must be made 1 hour prior to the start of the game that contains your pick. If you space on Sunday, you can still pick one hour before MNF, but if you already used both MNF teams, then you are screwed.

Just out of curiosity why no spreads?

 

[IAG]

Because that is how Survivor pools work...at least any that I have ever seen.

[IAG]

Oh and shit. One GIANT thing I forgot ..in fact scratch that about the time line..you have to pm me your picks nl than 11 am central time Sunday regardless of when the game is. . I will then post the picks made....they can't be public until games go off.

If you are wanting to play, put your name in this thread and then pm me your play by 11 am cst tomorrow. If there are not 7, we will try again for next week...I didn't give much notice.

Awesome. Everyone is eligible...except me of course...

We need at least 5 more confirmed players before tomorrow... I would assume that shouldn't be hard if the regulars check in.

I like these because it requires little work...for me and the player......although there is strategy in that you have to think ahead and not just go with the largest favorite every week...although that is what most people do at the beginning.

So there's no advantage to picking dogs,correct?

maybe change the title to random zone thoughts

Archie is right. Posting sport thread titles in a sports forum is ridiculous.

What happened to SP?

You're almost always going to pick favorites, correct.

It gets fun when a boatload of people all go down when a hugh fave is upset.

Fun game. I'm in, IAG.

 

[IAG]

So there's no advantage to picking dogs,correct?

Not really... Well, the only advantage would be that most people will (at least initially) take the big favorites so they can hang around. Sometimes the big favs go down game one and %60 of the players are out....so if you think it's a bad line and the dog will win SU you could pick them (especially if you don't want to use them in later weeks.)

 

[Archie]

you only get to use a team once so you have to use stratergery and look at the whole schedule for the year and kinda have a half assed long term plan

 

[Matty]

half-assed stratergery is key
