Congratulations to @OutdoormanNowActuary for winning Week 8 and its award, Choose Your Own Adventure Award.

CYOA Award

Choose Your Own Adventure Award: If you win this award you get to choose one award from a selection of two non-negative awards and two higher-variance, possibly-negative awards:

  • 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 Arbitrary’s Lucky 7 Award - If you use this award you will flip your picks for exactly seven games in a week of your choosing.

The default will be to choose JHFA and add three points to your Away picks in Week 15. You may reject this default and declare your own adventure by posting his decision in this thread before the kickoff of this week’s TNF.

Additionally, you, along with @PatientZombie, @1695814, @redearedslider, @3rookie, & @Mountainhawk, have secured a Change One Future Pick award. It’s yours to use or ignore.

@ldancer911 has won this week’s VALSA award. This is a limited-time COFP. If used, it must be declared before this week’s TNF. (It’s good for any future game.)

This week…
@UltimateAnyone, @Funemployed, & @ipd used a COFP to change their Browns pick to the Ravens. :rage:
@UltimateAnyone used a COFP to change his Raiders pick to the Chiefs. :smiley:
@OutdoormanNowActuary used a COFP to change his Bears pick to the Commanders. :prayer_beads: & :smiley:

I reject the default of JHFA. Instead I would like to choose The Arbitrary Award and choose the Vikings as my team. I would then like to change:

two questions

  1. what is the Random Posters Lucky 7?
  2. well, not really a question, more an observation, uh, you see on the all time standings, the math looks right, but the order is a bit off
240

You get seven points to distribute as you see fit:

To FSP and teammates my apologies for lack of awareness and focus …. The game ain’t over until Jables hits the clock. Can’t take anything for granted. Notes taken, improvement will happen.
I’ll have the intern look into it. Most likely, it gets sorted in the same order as the current year’s ytd-standings.

241

I thought it was just sorted by number of wins… and that seems right, doesn’t it?

242

Yeah…that’s it…because that’s what’s most important
