Pick a team each week of the NFL season. _ **If they win you get two strikes. If they tie, you get one strike. If you get 3 or more strikes, you are out.** _ 2. You may pick a given team only once during the contest. 3. If you fail to make a pick for a given week: 4. A pick must be GoA timestamped at least 15 minutes before the kickoff of the game the team is involved in to be valid. 5. Do not edit posts with a pick in it. If you want to make a change, make a new post. 6. If the game moderator(s) make an error in the official picks/standings post, you are responsible for pointing it out. Please either DM all game moderators or call them out in a post using @. 7. If all remaining players strike out in the same week: ## **Special Week 18 Rules** If more than 1 person survives to week 18, the following additional rules apply: 1. Each player should DM a list to all game moderators of all 15 teams they have remaining, in order from most likely to lose to least likely to lose. 1. Picks are due 1 hour before the first game of the week. 2. Once the deadline is past, a game moderator will post a table of the picks. 3. There are essentially 15 potential rounds to evaluate for week 18: 4. If two or more players survive past 18-15, they will be co-champions. ## SUMMARY OF RULES (TL;DR): 1. Wins are two strikes; Ties are one strike; 3 strikes and you’re out. So essentially, you’re given a bit of grace for getting a tie. 2. Rule 7 is adjusted to give preference to those who managed to pick a tie over those who picked two winners. ## List of Players Current list of players: | Index | Player | Abbrev | | --- | --- | --- | | 1 | VorianAtreides | VA | | 2 | OldTimer | OT | | 3 | PatientZombie | PZ | | 4 | 1695814 | 169 | | 5 | Papsmurf | Papa | | 6 | Doctor\_Who | DW | | 7 | R\_Daneel\_Olivaw | RDO | | 8 | Ezekial\_Cumberland | EC | | 9 | OutdoormanNowActuary | ONA | | 10 | IPD | IPD | | 11 | Kid\_Rock | KR | | 12 | Ted\_Hoffman | TH | | 13 | 3rookie | 3r | | 14 | Jahiegel | Jah | | 15 | Whiskey | Wkey | | 16 | YankeeTripper | TY | | 27 | z\_PatriotsSuck | zPats | | 28 | z\_PanthSuck | zPanth | Post if you have any questions. 🙂 ---
