NFL Elimination Challenge Rules

HOW IT'S PLAYED
What You Do:	Choose one team every week who you think will win their game straight up (No point spreads) You must choose a different team each week. (EX: If you choose Dallas in Week 1, you cannot use Dallas again the rest of the pool.) Your team must win the game, ties are considered a loss This pool is double elimination (No buyback option). Here is how it works: If your team wins, you advance to next week If your team loses once, your entry is allowed one incorrect pick and advance to next week NEW FOR 2008: If your team loses twice, your entry is eliminated. (No buyback option this season) If a particular pool ends early in the NFL season, we will start a new one, giving adequate time for signups and enough weeks to be able to determine a winner. The league commissioner will let everyone know ahead of time if there will be another pool run in the same NFL season
What If All Players Chooses A Losing Team In The Same Week?:	Consider this an additional chance for all teams without any penalties. If your team loses and all other entries lose too, you are still alive. However, the teams chosen by each player will be counted and may not be used again. EXAMPLE: Player 1 chooses Arizona Player 2 chooses Buffalo Player 3 chooses Detroit Player 4 chooses Oakland If Arizona, Buffalo, Detroit and Oakland all lose, all 4 teams remain in the pool and try again next week.
Winners:	The last player remaining will be declared the winner. If there is more than one person remaining after the final week of the season, tiebreakers will be decided according to the following tiebreakers: 1.) Teams with no losses 2.) Teams with one loss NEW FOR 2008: 3.) Teams with the longest run of consecutive correct picks during the entire pool. (This can be at any point during the pool and does not have to be at the end) 4.) The tied entries split the pool winnings The goal for these tiebreakers is to reward people that have the most success from the beginning. Someone who has no losses should win the tiebreaker if they are going head to head with someone who has one incorrect picke.

SUBMITTING SHEETS
Multiple Sheets:	To increase your chances of winning, you may play as many times as you wish. Each entry will be scored separately. If you would like to play a 2^nd or 3^rd sheet, please contact the league commissioner at info@fantasysportzgames.com at signup.
Weekly Picks:	You have several options in which to submit your picks each week 1.) Go to our NFL Elimination Challenge homepage and enter your picks using the form provided. 2.) Send an email with your pick to info@fantasysportzgames.com If there is another way you would like to submit your picks each week, please let the commish know and he will try to accommodate
Submission Deadline:	For weeks where games for the week begin on Thursday, deadline to submit your pick is Thursday at noon EST For weeks where games for the week begin on Saturday or Sunday, deadline is Saturday at noon EST. PICKS POSTED BY COMMISH: Each week, the league commissioner will try and post all entries for that week just after kickoff. This is not a guarantee but an effort will be made. More often than not they will be posted shortly after kickoff.
Late Picks, No Picks or Picking the Same Team:	If for some reason your pick should be late, pick the same team more than once, or not submitted at all, the following will happen: NEW FOR 2008: The team will be chosen for you based on the CURRENT highest winning percentage of the teams you have not already chosen: Example Records: Indianapolis 7-1 (.875 Winning Percentage) Pittsburgh 6-2 (.750 Winning Percentage) New England 5-3 (.625 Winning Percentage) If you have not chosen Indianapolis, they would be your pick in this situation If you have already chosen Indianapolis, Pittsburgh would be your pick in this situation If you have already chosen Indianapolis and Pittsburgh, then New England would be your pick If several teams have the same winning percentage, your team will be chosen alphabetically from those teams with the same winning percentage that you haven't chosen. IMPORTANT: If you fail to make a selection on your own for 3 consecutive weeks, you will be automatically eliminated from this pool, regardless of how well you do. Players need to be active participants and will not be allowed to win by a luck of the draw.
