I thought it was 1 game per week, your choice on league and game. Game weeks running Mon through Sun?Four teams per gameweek, one per league? Draw counts as a loss? Three losses and you're done?
That would be good too.Another take on draws would be to require 2 games the following gameweek.
We're going to have a winner by mid-October this way. I'm thinking one game per "week", you get to pick from any of the four big leagues.I like Charv's suggestion of $50, if people are up for it.Four teams per gameweek, one per league? Draw counts as a loss? Three losses and you're done?
So,Pick one game each game week of the season (Monday through Sunday) from 1 of the "Big 4":England, Germany, Italy, SpainIf draw on any game, that game gets added to next week's targetAfter 3 losses, you are out of the competitionIf 20 or more people; 50/30/20If 10 or more people; 75/25If less than 10; Winner takes allThat would be good too.Another take on draws would be to require 2 games the following gameweek.
nah, not sure we can get someone to do it... who would want to track that if they are not involved?Do we need a non-participant to administrate?

I think some "game weeks" bleed over on to the next Monday. We should probably just use each league's "Week 1", "Week 2", etc. I think these all line up, because they take breaks at the same time for internationals, Euro competitions, etc.There are also some mid-week slates.So,Pick one game each game week of the season (Monday through Sunday) from 1 of the "Big 4":England, Germany, Italy, SpainIf draw on any game, that game gets added to next week's targetAfter 3 losses, you are out of the competitionIf 20 or more people; 50/30/20If 10 or more people; 75/25If less than 10; Winner takes allThat would be good too.Another take on draws would be to require 2 games the following gameweek.
yeah, that makes sense... each leagues game week...I think some "game weeks" bleed over on to the next Monday.

I don't know if we'll make it to the winter but the EPL is insane around Christmas and New Years while all of the continental wussies take time off. Thoughout the season I think the EPL makes a lot more frequent use of midweek matchups as well.I think some "game weeks" bleed over on to the next Monday.

That might be best. Probably wanna do Saturday through Friday, as I think most "weeks" kick off on Sat.'charvik said:It might get really messy to keep track of each leagues game weeks... might be easier to just run calendar weeks
Well, we are still spit balling, but failure to pick a week should count as loss per current suggestion. Alternative, miss a week and you have to pick 2 games correctly the following, and can't use draw rollover (could get messy to keep track of)Interested...What if I forget to pick?
It doesn't matter, if I understood it correctly. You don't pick a team for the week, you just pick a game, and the right side in that game.What about weeks where teams play two games?
Bundesliga generally use Friday if I remember correctly, so weeks should run Friday to Thursday in that case...That might be best.

Yeah, I like that idea...As for everything else, I think it can be tracked in a spreadsheet pretty easily.'AcerFC said:Is this where you pick a team and can't pick them again for the rest of the season

Are we "officially" starting the competition with EPLw2, SerAw1, LLw2, BLw1 on Aug 24th?
I would prefer it that way... when you have used them, they are gone.Looks good to me. If you pick a team and they draw, you still cannot pick that team again correct? I'm in for any amount up to $100.
Right. Otherwise this would get pretty boring, and we'd all probably be alive at the end.I would prefer it that way... when you have used them, they are gone.Looks good to me. If you pick a team and they draw, you still cannot pick that team again correct? I'm in for any amount up to $100.
You are going to want to lock that down immediately assuming the same jack nut wants to screw up the sheet a bunch of times like in the EPL draft we had.Simple google spreadsheet, which I can refine later:https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AkyWtdhvADajdHVvWmZOUllhLWJuSEhkZTY1eTlneFEAnyone can edit right now... we can lock it down later if needed.
Do I have this correct?Week 1: Pick Team ARules:

Same here.'NewlyRetired said:I am interested in $20. If $50, I will watch from the sidelines.
