Ima gonna host a fun little contest
« on: Dec 23rd, 2002, 2:49pm »
Quote Quote Modify Modify

I've played in a little playoff contest the last 3 years that is fairly quick and I think, a lot of fun. The Sporting News hosted it as a freebie last year and along with the free salary cap league that I played there have taken it to a pay  game this year. Screw that! You are all welcome to join in if you'd like.  I run it from right here.  
 
The premise:
 
From a set list of players {qb, rb, wr}, you will pick one each to score the most points in that weekends playoff game. Scoring will be 1 pt per yard and 60 points for any td. The catch, if you will, is once you use a player, he is no longer available to you. One and done. So not only do you need to factor in who goes big this week, but who goes home, as well.
 
Obviously I can't set the list of players yet as the AFC refuses to cooperate and pick it's playoff teams.  
 
Full rules and al to follow, but wanted to get this out there before people cashed it in for the season. It's just a fun way to finish off the year and take a little edge off of that fantasy withdrawl so common this time of year.
 
Anybody and every body welcome. Just watch this thread for more info.
 
Later.

I will be participating!
 
Unfortunately, I still have a GBRFL championship pending that I will unbelievably have to continue to focus on until next week's over, so I won't be able to redirect my efforts right away.
 
But, you can count on me and count me in!

Looking good!  
 
As a heads up, the list of players will be made from each NFL playoff team's:
 
qb - 1 from each real playoff team
rb - top 2 scorers from each rpt  {using this scoring}
wr - top 2 wr and top te {used as a wr in this} from each rpt
 
There may be some exceptions. Eagle qb comes to mind. List Feely or McNabb? May have both in that and any other similar situations. There will be links to my web site for "research" of how players did in this scoring system and that sort of thing.  
 
Invite some of your outside league mates to sign up and join in as well. The more the merrier! The only effect of getting this as large as possible would be in how quickly I can report that weeks results. Having "no life" will finally be an asset!  
 
Stay tuned...

Things are progessing nicely. The lists are ready and will follow below. The web site won't be updated until sometime in the morning as San Frans stats won't be available to me until then.

OK - you'll have to explain this a little better for   s like myself.
 
I pick one player from that list - the person who I think will score the most points using your system.  The catch is that I can only use that player one time during the playoffs.
 
Each week, you'll tally up the points and we'll have a running total going until the Super Bowl??  Or is this an elimination pool?

"official rules"  
 
**************************************
Playoff 3 for All Football  
 
Overview:  
 
In Playoff 3 for All Football, you pick three players each weekend of the 2002-2003 Playoffs to earn you fantasy points. The challenging part is, you cannot pick any player more than once over the duration of the playoffs. While it's quick and easy to make your picks, you'll need to strategize to figure out when to pick each player.
 
Selecting A Team:  
 
Each week you will choose three players: one Quarterback, one Running Back, and one Wide Receiver from the list I provide.  
You can only use each player once! Once you select a player for a particular weekend, that player will not be available to you during the rest of the playoffs.  
Each weekend you will have to make sure you have selected three NEW players by the Picks Freeze - 12pm ET on the day of the first games of each weekend during the playoffs.
 
Scoring:  
 
The players you picked will earn points based on their on-field success that weekend. Points will be awarded in the following manner:
 
Yards (Passing + Receiving + Rushing): 1 point per yard  
Touchdowns (Rushing + Receiving + Passing + Kick and Punt Return): 60 points per TD  
 
Picks Freeze (12pm EST the day of the first games of each weekend during the Playoffs):  
 
You must select three NEW players each weekend.  
There is a picks freeze the day of the first games of each weekend during the Playoffs at 12PM ET. You will only be awarded points that weekend for the players you've picked by that time. I'll not be checking for dupes until I tally each weeks scores, so if you accidently use the same player more than once, you will recieve zero points at that player's position. You can simply post your three players here, or if you would prefer not to let your opponents see your picks{highly recommended} prior to the weekly deadline, feel free to email your weekly selections to:
 
johnqpublic@swirvemail.com

 
and I'll post the entry's here, shortly after each weeks deadline.
 
Along those lines, I will post my weekly selestions here by Wednesday of each week. I don't want there to be an advantage for me, by knowing your all's picks, so I'll take a slight disadvantage in exposing my strategy to allow me to "commish" AND play.
 
2002-2003 Playoffs Picks Freezes  
Week 1 (Wild Card): Sat, 1/4 Noon ET  
Week 2 (Div. Playoffs): Sat, 1/11 Noon ET  
Week 3 (Conf. Champs.): Sun, 1/19 Noon ET  
Week 4 (Super Bowl): Sun, 1/26 Noon ET  
 
****************************************
 Off to put up some web pages. Links will be posted right here. What will be on these pages is some year to date scoring info to give you some idea of how players performed under this system, plus some defensive stats for the teams in the playoffs.
 
Clear as mud?   Ask away!
