COME and ENJOY year four of our one-of-a-kind post-season fantasy football contest that takes you through ALL 5 WEEKS of the post-season...
Here are the simple rules and guidelines:
1) Lineups - Each week your lineup will consist of three players, 1 QB, 1 RB and 1 RC (WR or TE). COMPLETE lineups are due by kickoff of the first game of the weekend!!!
2) Scoring - Simple... 1 point per yard, 60 points per touchdown.
3) Schedule - From Wildcard Weekend through the Pro Bowl...
Wildcard Weekend - Saturday/Sunday, January 5th & 6th
Divisional Playoffs - Saturday/Sunday, January 12th & 13th
Conference Championships - Sunday, January 20th
Super Bowl XXXIX - Sunday, February 3rd
AFC-NFC Pro Bowl - Sunday, February 10th
4) The HITCH - You can only use a player once, i.e., once you have used a particular player, that player is unavailable to you again, i.e., you canNOT use any one player twice!!! If you do so, you will get ZERO points for that player for that week.
Here is how it the contest will be administrated:
1) Weekly Lineup Submission - You are to submit your lineups either to "Referee" by instant message here on "the Gridiron":
(Direct Link) http://www.fantasyfootballer.com/cgi-bin/theGridiron/YaBB.cgi?action=ims end;to=Mod1;
or via the following thread:
http://www.fantasyfootballer.com/cgi-bin/theGridiron/YaBB.cgi?board=56;a ction=display;num=1199403306.
IT IS UP TO YOU TO AVOID USING A PLAYER TWICE as per the rules. Management is supposed to be a part of fantasy football. So, do your job! We don't baby people around here. Contacting you to tell you you made a mistake is NOT our job. And, do NOT submit your lineups late, please! Again, COMPLETE lineups are due by the kickoff of the first game of the weekend!
2) Score Tallying and Reporting - Our member bgsgfan a.k.a. Jeremy Miller or yours truly, Stevie Steg, will tabulate everybody's scores on a spreadsheet and we will report everybody's scores and the standings every week. A message will be appended to THIS thread with a link to the spreadsheet every week.
You can check things out on the web. Here is a link to the Post-season activiities portal page: http://www.ffplayers.com/postseason.htm.
 -"That's all, folks!"
If you want to play, SIGN UP NOW HERE!!!
Oh, and by the way, commentary and questions can be appended to this, the administration/commentary thread!!!

Of course, not... If you think it through, MC, that would be the implication of Referee's post.

This was obviously submitted late. I'm not sure how I am going to deal with it. I am NOT a proponent of the idea that "Well, it doesn't matter. All the guys I've chosen are from other games than the one in progress." The problem with that reasoning is that you are (potentially) working with knowledge your competitors did not have at the time of their submissions. You did evidentally limit your options by one fewer game. But, that is not necessarily a bad thing. It could even be a good thing depending on the circumstances. On the other hand, I suppose that since this isn't a (GBRFL-style) head-to-head format and you were only about 20 or so minutes late from the kickoff of the game, it's not that much of a biggie. However, if I let this one slide, does that open the door for others to want to claim their "one free late submission"? I'm not so much concerned about the rule, per se. I'm more concerned about the ramifications of/the precedent set by letting the rule be broken. Does anybody else have any thoughts on this??? My inclination is to disallow it. Sorry, Tone...

Doesn't the winner get a Tee shirt. Even if it may be an extra small?

Well, I don't care about the T-Shirt. But since I'm crashing and burning at the bottom this offseason, don't I get the FIRST OVERALL grab-up??? 
(Whatever Tony does is OK with me. Not a biggie, just fun.)
