Is this the new format and will it replace the "old" version of posting on THN?

In my humble opinion, it should be. Easy to keep track; plus then we can have a weekly gameday thread. Not up to me though.

I suggest Admin and Hoss speak on this issue.

Guess it's official now that the thread's been stickied.

See, that's why you need new blood like me, to shake things up

Hey ACW:

Anybody can pick whomever in every game but almost nobody ever picks against the 'Skins. I beleive no one has ever picked against them and gone on to win this thing.

I pick against them when I think I should in money leagues but never here.

Just sayin'.

Good luck.

PS - Last year darn near ended in a tie and no tie-break was in place. Maybe we should discuss that.

OK but that is what I was told by the guy who almost tied me (for the most picks correct for the whole year) who (I thought) was running it.

Please enlighten.

Thanks.

PS - Here is why I said what I did:

Gotta admit, I was watching a stream, livin' and dyin' on every snap, and cheering wildly at the end.

No I didn't see that game. Was following the Denver, Oakland and Bengals games. If I won 1 of those we tied. I'm glad we didn't tie because there are no provisions for it. lol

Congrats again brother!

We had individual tie-breakers each week. If we had to, we could go back through each week and add up the tie-breaker point differentials to get a winner. If it was still tied? Who knows?

You know, it's funny. I ALWAYS pick against the 'Skins. That way, if they win great, if they lose, well, at least I get a point.

If we had to, we could. Was that prodcedure in place last year? Hoss implied no such provision was in place.

Either way we might want to have something in place this year. Maybe ESPN already has something.

ACW - whatcha got?

Wasn't the Monday score the tie breaker in the past.

Well, for weekly I think they use a Monday game.

Yes - each week. We are talking about a tie for total picks correct at the end of the year ... at least ACW and I are.

Deadskins · Post by **Deadskins** » Tue Aug 28, 2012 10:35 am

I am too, and you wouldn't know this, because you didn't participate back in the early days when we had a program tracking the results, but the Monday night tiebreaker was kept as a running total that broke ties on the season results as well. Wouldn't want to do it manually, but there definitely was a tiebreaking system in place.
