Yahoo Pro Football Pick'em Returns to Free Republic. Information you need to know is as follers:
located at Yahoo.com, find fantasy sports and click on Pro Football pick'em --- look for "join a group" and click on that
Group ID# is 29924
password is reagan
it'll aks you for a name ... PLEASE: no R or X rated names, youngsters are invited to play, too. You are allowed to write comments on the msg board , but the same rules apply: no R or X rated comments
we are doing confidence point (you assign a # of points on a game based on how likely you think they are to win -- ex: New England will handily beat the Arizona Cardinals so you put 16 points on the game... perennial heartbreakers such as Cincinatti and Buffalo play each other...either team is likely to lose to the other on any given Sunday (meaning you don't trust either team) so you assign 1 point to that game... and so on
Points will be counted for EACH week so no freebies
picks may be made up to 5 minutes before each game, so being fat,drunk and stupid CAN be a way to get through life ... as long as you have someone to prop you up in front of your computer on game day
have fun and pick away!
How about a Salary Cap league instead?
I thought you were just kidding about that the other day, but I see that it exists. I’ve not played it, but it could be interesting. Maybe you could organize it and see what happens? I do this one for people who can make picks in a hurry between busy lifestyles.
Sounds like fun. Rather than just bragging rights for doing well, how about putting some stakes on this?
Like...top 4 finishers get the rest of the group to make a donation to a special cause. (Put a cap of $20 on it.)
At the end of the season, those that don’t finish in the top 4 donate to the cause of one of those 4 top finishes.
i.e. I could designate that should I place in the top 4, I want the others to contribute to Soldiers’ Angels. You could designate you want the money to go to Free Republic.
Those that don’t place in top 4 could choose which cause they want to contribute to among their 4 choices.
This way, there is a true incentive to win besides bragging rights. And since we are an honorable bunch here, I would assume everyone would honor their commitment.
I have done this before, and its really fun.
How about posting that on the Bad Results Oriented Pix message board?
