Pickplace Challenge 2006 Rules
2006 PICKPLACE CHALLENGE
the rules are simple:
* Pick four winning teams each week, two home teams and two away teams.
* You may not pick the same winner and/or loser in consecutive weeks. Example: If you picked San Francisco to lose during week 1 you may not pick them to lose during week 2. If you picked New England to win during week 1 you may not pick them to win during week 2.
* Each week I’ll keep track of everyone’s picks and post them online at pickplace.blogspot.com
* Weekly results are posted Tuesday morning.
* The top two players with the most wins at the end of the regular season will split the pot...75%/25%…third place gets their buy-in back
* The Pool runs from Week 1 through Week 17….the final standings will be announced Jan 1st, 2007.
* We won’t use the spread….a win is based on an actual win.
* All picks must be emailed each week to rmanningmullen@gmail.com by Wednesday 6PM PST (9PM EST). If you don’t send your picks by post time you go 0-4 for the week…..so don’t forget.
And if you need to stage a comeback or pull away from the pack……..
• Starting Week 10 through Week 17 you have an extra option to score or lose 2 additional points each week. In addition to your four regular picks you may also pick an underdog bonus pick if you wish. If you play the underdog bonus you must pick an underdog team who will beat their opponent that week.
• THE UNDERDOG MUST BE AT LEAST A 3 POINT UNDERDOG. (as determined by http://www.sportsline.com/nfl/odds by post time at Wednesday 6PM EST (9PM PST) each week.)
• If your underdog pick wins their game you get two additional points for the week. If they lose you have two points subtracted from your total for the week.
• Your underdog pick doesn't have to beat the spread....they just have to win their game.
• Your underdog pick must be different than your home and away picks. For example if you pick Houston as your underdog pick of the week it cannot be selected as either one of your two home, or away picks. You may not pick the same underdog to win in two consecutive weeks.
• During weeks 10-17 the maximum points a team can score for the week is 6 and the lowest possible score (if you lose your four picks and your underdog pick) is -2.
