2020 Rainbows in the Endzone NFL Full Season Pick'em Contest-Tying Arbitrary Records now with GoActuary

[Vorian_Atreides]

I think it’s the prize for one week, and an option one can choose in another.

@TheArbitrary

But I think it also caused me to lose a week in 2016. Plus it’s an administrative boondoggle.

That’s why you get interns to handle this stuff.

@TheArbitrary

Bluecup used it twice in 2017? I didn’t know it was offered more than once a season.

Have you even played this game before? Of course, awards & their schedule have varied over the years, but, typically, The Arbitrary Award is offered via the Choose Your Own Adventure Award. That award, like most others, usually is on the awards schedule 2-3 times per year.

@TheArbitrary

Just realized I have both a week and an award named after me, and I still use my mug from Season 1. Think the goactuary board might spring for an engraved trinket for this year’s winner?

Talk to @SpaceLobster.

Going into the night game, here are the winning scenarios for this week…

Cowboys, Buccaneers - General Apathy, Dr. Stranger Things, ImPrettyDumb, A Student
Cowboys, Giants - ImPrettyDumb
Eagles, Buccaneers - General Apathy, A Student
Eagles, Giants - Vorian Atreides, General Apathy, ImPrettyDumb, A Student

…This week’s award is Choose Your Own Adventure (Jables’ Home Field Advantage, Random Poster’s Lucky 7, The Arbitrary Award)

[Vorian_Atreides]

Looking like the Eaglets are in control of their destiny this weekend . . .

Problem is that if NYG win, I’ll get the rewards in this game and subsequently get knocked out of another AO game.

[Funemployed]

That’s what we call a WIN/WIN situation

:wnb?: …it could always end in a tie… :ohnoes: I have no idea what the standings would be in that case.

[Vorian_Atreides]

It’s the Giants. You think it’ll end in a tie?

Wait . . . a 0-0 tie could happen.

Full write up tomorrow…I hope.

Hmm, I guess I should have submitted my pics earlier.

Oh well, I can use my two (I think) COFPs this week:
Wk 9 - change 49’ers to Packers
Wk 9 - change Cowboys to Steelers

danke

[Vorian_Atreides]

So close . . .

Change Week 10 from Rams to Seahawks winning

I think this now leaves me with 1 COFP to use . . . at the moment.

Congratulations to General Apathy. You won the Choose Your Own Adventure award:

• Jables’ Home Field Advantage
• Random Poster’s Lucky 7
• The Arbitrary Award If you use this award you may flip your pick for all non-Divisional games for one team for the rest of the season.

The default will be to use the RPL7 award and apply all seven points to your Saints over Buccaneers pick in week 9. You may reject the default by posting your declaration in this thread, send an email to actuary1695814 [at] gmail, or figure out how to send me a PM.

This week…
COVID can kiss my , but because of the Chargers v Broncos game being moved to week 8, Ezekial Cumberland picked up an extra win. Nice job on that. Really nice work. That’s what we like to see…well, “we”, as in, “everyone named Ezekial Cumberland”. After all, that’s the margin of his first place lead.

Here are the overall results after week 8:
