The 2012 ITB Suicide Contest Thread

[HPF Bob]

By far the quickest tournament we've ever had. If we can get at least 10 people to participate, I'll restart the competition with no prize, same rules. Chuck is allowed to participate.

We can do this two ways:

1) Everyone starts with a clean slate - no team in week 4 is off limits.
2) Everyone must use the same list they used during the last contest regardless whether that team won or lost. That provides a small boost to the participants who lost early. IOW, the contest started in Week 1 and everyone is given one mulligan.

Choose your weapons and we'll go from there.

Congrats to Chuck.

Yes, let's do another round. Actually, sounds like you (Bob) are proposing that the original contestants are now allowed one loss - but no more? So, it's two strikes and you're out?

For example, I could post my next pick like this:

1. Philadelphia Eagles
2. Cincinnati Bengals
3. San Francisco 49'ers
4. Week 4 pick

Or maybe:

1. Philadelphia Eagles
2. Cincinnati Bengals
x3. San Francisco 49'ers
4. Week 4 pick

---------------------

i'm in a Yahoo survivor league and they allow 3 strikes and you're out. Incidentally, everyone now has a strike in that league - no one has made it unscathed so far.... Today wiped out the remaining "clean slates"....

It will be easier to manage, IMO. With many of us out after week two, we never had to pick in week 3 thus we have a bigger slate of teams to pick from.

So start from scratch is my vote. And I am in.

[Nconroe]

I'm in, prefer everyone just start from scratch,

[HPF Bob]

Arky has accurately described my second proposal. It's an option, mind you, and it allows Chuck one free loss since he's the only one that didn't have one up to this point.

But we can do this either way.

[barrett]

Start from scratch. I'm ready to embarass myself again.

And I guess all glory to Chuck for picking 3 consecutive winners.

[Arky]

Bob, it looks like the consensus will be to just start from scratch - less complicated....

[Foo'ball Fool]

I like the idea of starting from scratch, too. The way this season's going, we may get to play 3 or 4 times! Either way y'all wanta go, I'm in.

I am opening up a new thread for the "redo" contest. All are welcome to enter, including those who didn't start in Week 1 .

For rules, go back to the OP of this thread.

You might not want to pass up the Thursday nighter this week.

Keith, let's close this thread so people can't post to the wrong one. Thanks.
