2022 Double Elimination Reverse Suicide Pool

I like the idea of striking week 1, then week 2 and so on until there are active players.

That seems like the best idea for this season.

I don’t see any provision for that in the rules?

I thought in the past when everyone loses in a given week all players move to the next week (but I easily could be mixing up my pools).

ITA; but there should be some criteria of tie-breaker(s) for after Week 18 to determine a winner.

But a 100% strike out of players before then . . . I support a “mulligan” for all players and move on to the next week.

it has always been to pick all remaining games in order

Yeah, that is specified in the rules but a pre-week-18 100% elimination is not.

Sounds like the consensus is a mulligan for all affected players and keep going which is quite consistent with the Week 18 rules.

I could be wrong but I think it happened at least once on the AO late in the season when there were two or three players left and all got a strike and it was ruled a mulligan.

It may well have happened before, but we can’t check (thanks DW Simpson) and the rules don’t specify what happens.

I will amend the rules to cover that situation going forward.

I added a rule 7:

The Jets have been picked every single week of this contest, and they are 4 - 2, so all 4 wins have resulted in strikes. You are in good company getting a strike on the Jets!

On team PanthersSuck.

Week 7 … DET

Was really leaning Houston. Couldn’t pull trigger.

See y’all next week.

Well how boring… all human players have picked the same team, thus guaranteeing a Week 8.

That’s pretty funny!

zPanthersSuck is out. Should’ve stuck with the Lions! All human players were going to advance regardless, but they did so without getting strikes.
