Welcome to the 2016 Pro Football Pick'em Challenge
What is it?
This challenge is a chance to test your knowledge / luck when it comes to picking NFL games.
You simply log in each week, select who you think will win, and then check back to see how you did
against everyone else. The game is mainly for bragging rights, although the winner at the end of the
season will receive a small trophy. It's free to play, and only takes about 5 minutes of your time each
week. After the games are finished (early games, then late games, night games, etc.) you can login and
see how you did against everyone. Scroll Below to Register!
Who Can Play?
If you are viewing this,
then you can play. Generally, you have to be invited from someone that has played before in order to
play. This is not open to the whole internet, so it makes it more fun knowing you are playing against
a small group of people.
What Are the Rules?
-
Log in each week to make your picks
- New this year, you can miss the Thursday deadline and still get the rest of the picks in by Sunday, 1230EST. This means you can still be competitive for the rest of the week.
-
If you miss two consecutive weeks that probably means you do not want to play anymore, so you
will be removed from contention
- You have to play at
least 70% of the games to be ranked
- If you are going TDY, leave, or whatever, you
can pick in advance. Just let me know
- If you do not pick for the week, you will receive
the same number of hits and misses as the person who did the worst on their weekly picks
(ex: If the last placed person for week 1 picked only 3 winners, you will receive the same record)
- Each week you choose the winners of all games and a tie-breaker score
(the Monday Night game)
- The person CLOSEST to the total number of
points scored will win for the week
- You can win the tie breaker
even by going over the total points scored
- At the end of the season, the player with the highest
winning percentage wins!
- If there is a tie for first at the end of the year, the person with the
most weekly wins will be the champ
- There is a travelling trophy to be won - if you win, you
have to put the new person's name on it and send it along to the new champ the following season
