Original rules plus Brujah's "Double Up" rule.

I'm leaving out the mulligan rule, because mulligans are for wimps.


The rules are simple.

1) Each week, pick one NFL team who you believe will win their game. If they win, you get a point, if they lose you get diddly-squat.

2) The catch: You may NOT pick that same team again for the rest of the season.

3) You do not have to make your picks for the entire season - this is a week by week game. You can place your pick by posting the team name on thread as long as they have not played yet. Even if you wait until Monday morning, you can still take your chances on the Monday Night game.



Also, even if you come to the game late, you can still put your name on the leaderboard! Join in whenever. There are 17 weeks of action, and in the past even people leading the game have forgotten to make picks, gotten 3 in a row wrong, etc, so you never know.

- In the event of a tie, the person who submitted a pick in the most number of weeks wins. (This only applies if the number of weeks participated is not the same.)

(DOUBLE UP): TWICE THIS SEASON YOU MAY OPT TO CHOOSE TWO TEAMS FOR THAT WEEK, INSTEAD OF ONE. IF BOTH PICKS WIN, YOU GET TWO POINTS INSTEAD OF ONE. YOU GET ZERO POINTS IF ONLY ONE PICK WINS. YOU GET LAUGHED AT IF NEITHER PICK WINS.

Would it be easier to set this up through espn eliminator challenge stuff? To my knowledge, it's the same system (minus double up) and there is no housekeeping for people on this end.

You can also set up a league on Yahoo, since we know most on here already have an account.




But it's probably more fun to post them on here.

Maybe, but I am not too impressed with the state of RGKnee so far, much less opposite JJ Watt and Jadeveon Clowney.

The Eagles fans booed Santa Clause. They are known for being the biggest dickhole fans in all of sports.
