Screaming_Eagle174 and myself are in charge of the game. Last year this was my child in terms of the game, but SE174 became a valuable asset to have working with me, so this year he is co-host if you will.
The rules are as follows.
1. Game will consist of picking the winner of each top 25 game. Each correct pick will be worth 1 point.
2. Picks are due by 9AM Central on Saturday. Weeks that have Thursday/Friday games will have a deadline of 4PM Central Thursday/Friday if you wish to have that game count towards your picks. If you get it in late that game will not count towards your total.
3. The game will use CS.com's top 25. When not available Phil Steele's top 25 will be used.
4. Schedule of games to pick will be posted by 8PM Central Tuesday evening, possibly sooner depending clenz's schedule.
5. Pick's will run from preseason AQ and at-large bids, all the way through the title game.
6. Conference AQ and at-large bid picks will be due at the same time as the cut off for the week 1 picks. You may edit your picks for the AQ and AL picks until 9AM Central the Saturday of the first game. NO OTHER EDITED OF PICKS IS ALLOWED DURING THE SEASON. ONCE A PICK IS MADE IT CAN NOT BE CHANGED. Missing a week does NOT disqualify you from playing the rest of the season, neither does missing the first week.
6A. Each correct post season pick is worth one point. If you correctly pick the team as winning the AQ or at-large bid you will receive 2 extra points. I.E. you pick School A to win the AQ and school B to get an at-large. School A doesn't win the AQ but gets an at large, and School B get's an at-large. You would get 1 point for correctly having School A in the playoffs, and you would get 3 points for correctly prediction School B would be an at large.
7. Post season picks will have a weighted scoring system due to fewer games being played. Each round will have a different weight.
8. The playoff point system will be updated here, and posted once the format is completely understood and the weighting system is worked out for it.
9. Each player must have a minimum post count of 100 by the pick cut off line of the first week. There is plenty of time to get involved all across the board and get to 100 posts. I will take screen shots to freeze everyone's posts counts at the time of the cut off to see if they meet the required post count. The CS Poll has a post count as well. This is to avoid people joining to only play the game. If you want to join to play the game, great, just contribute elsewhere. As of the time of this being posted on the board there is something like 45 days to get to 100. For a brand new member who hasn't posted yet that is about 2.2 posts per day.
10. There will be prizes for the top three. Last season I sent out a bunch of UNI gear to the top three. This year's prizes have yet to be determined, but once they are they will be updates here and will be posted on the board.
11. A tie break system will be worked on during the season in the event of a tie.
Also please make sure to denote your "home team" with your AQ/AL pick. This won't affect anything other than the look for my points sheet.
