F Me In The Brain

I am cool with a $20 donation to one of our group members.
Your rules look good.
Sent payment to WTM.

Thanks!

davidtrios

thanks ed for running this league through all stuff yovue been through. fortunately, part of my new years resolution is to stop being a degenerate. im bowing out of any pools- even if it is for $20

ed243421

no prob, dave

good luck with your resolutions

ed243421

post in thread what playoff format you think we should use and if you want into pool

also

i think we should not add half point to spreads without them during the playoffs

this will cut down a little on ties for total wins

any other ideas?

The Waiting Trophy Man

Last year, for the tiebreaker, we predicted the final score in each game. You took the difference between the combined score we predicted and the actual score and added them up. In the case of a tie, the person with the lowest number would win.

I'd vote to do it this way again.

ed243421 wrote:

of coure we'll do a playoff pool, we're degenerates

i think $20 to play

either do same as last year ( i forget what we did, haven't looked back yet)

or just change the tiebreaker and do :

friday spreads

all picks in before 1st saturday kickoff

and the tiebreaker change, rank your picks 4 through 1

so your most confident pick is worth 4 points, and so on through

that would be for the 1st 2 weeks, then it's just 2 picks for 1 weekend , with your most confident pick worth 2 points

these ranks and points are only for tiebraking purposes

the most wins out of the 11 games, wins the pot

only a tie for 1st in wins would result in using points accumulated by your ranking picks

if that ties, split the pot as many ways necessary

???

or someone else might have another playoff pool idea

let us know and we'll decide by thursday night

vermont21

I'm in for any playoff pool!

ed243421

ok

lines get posted tomorrow

try to vote in thread on which format to use

not sure how many are in yet, we have until saturday at 4 ish to get in

F Me In The Brain

I vote to copy what we did last year, seemed to work well.

Fine with me.

phardin

I vote for last year's tiebreaker

vermont21

Last years format is fine.

ed243421

this is last years playoff rules


ok

by the votes we will go with my version

pick the games against the spread, just like the regular season

the tiebreaker will be - pick the total of any 1 game each weekend

everyone will have a running total for the tiebreaker that i explained earlier

you can either post the score for both teams or give just a total for the game

it's the same number either way

pm me all selections and 1 total each week before the kickoff of the 1st game played

after the 1st weekend round, i will pm my picks to the person in last place

i will try to do this as soon as i post spreads so i won't make picks after i have seen any other picks

if i left anything out, lemme know

ed243421

so i'm not sure who is officially in yet

you have until saturday 4pm ish before the first kickoff to get all picks and tiebreaker score pm'ed to me

$20 per person

winner take all



weekend 1

hou -4.5

So I just want to get this straight.

All we need to do is pick a winner all for games against the posted spread.

Get Ed all 4 picks by 4pm Saturday.

And pick a total points for any one of the 4 games.

Am I missing anything?

Good luck all!

damn, i kinda wanna be in this...ahh the torture! the agony!

vermont21

Thanks Ed! All I'm missing now is a little PJ playing in the background and some good Vermont Micro Brews. Plenty of time between now and 4pm tomorrow to get that together I guess.

Which are your current favorites? I am a watered down american beer guy but my family all still lives in VT and my bro is a Long Trail, Otter Creek and Switchback fan.
I tripped out when my wife and I went to NYC for a weekend of craziness this year to celebrate our 5 yr anniversary....we had reservations for this ridiculous restaurant, billed as the city's 'most romantic', and we decided to go with the wine pairing with dinner....one of the 6-7 wines they brought us to pair with our courses was not a wine but a Magic Hat #9.
VT beer strikes a pose as part of a $500 meal!

F-Me,

Switchback is in my current top 3. Probably number 3. Number 2 and 1 are really close, but my number 2 right now is The Alchemist. It's out of Waterbury and is a potent IPA with a ABV of like 7.5%. My very favorite at this time a brewery called Hill Farmstead out of Greensboro. Every beer they make is EXCELLENT! It's made in a typical VT setting; in an old barn on a dirt road.

I do like #9 on tap. One of the best beers I have every had that has come from a tap. Plus on the underside of every bottle cap they have a little saying and one reads, "Nothing better than a beer with Eddie Vedder". Very rare but I have seen a few!

Interesting - will have to try Hill Farmstead, never heard of it. I see The Alchemist is served at Nectars -- I was pounding vodka rocks down there a few months back before we walked up the hill to see Primus at Memorial. Great show!
Interesting on #9 - I like it a whole lot more now - wonder what the EV link is. He is a Corona guy usually, right?
