>>> 2008 Shark Pool Suicide Contest - Week 17 (1 Viewer)

[TC]

Hiya -

This is it. The final week of the contest that began with 600 entries is now down to 18 successful souls. Week 17 will require everybody to select ONE winner from it's unused teams as a winner. Also, you must name SIX winners as tiebreaker entries in order of preference. This tiebreaker can be any NFL team other than your common selection.

As an example:

Week 17: CIN

TIE: ATL, TB, PIT, GB, DEN, NE

CIN is your unused team. ATL is your 1st tiebreaker. TB is your 2nd tiebreaker. And so on..

TC

Rules

The contest rules are very, very simple.

1. One entry per user name. To edit a selection, post a *correction*.

2. Select a NFL winner each week without duplicating the selection for the 2008 season. The weekly deadline is the team's kickoff.

3. Correct selections advance to the next week. Missed entries are out.

4. Enjoy.

=======================

An example of an excellent entry format is below. Please use it.

Used: PHI, BAL, MIA, DAL, JAX, DEN (one team selection per season)

Week 07: SD

TC...18 remaining is correct, but you have Mapmaker down in the Contest page link as picking NE with a win, he picked Hou and it was 6 Hou losers and 4 Den losers (as posted alot before Denver is the killer team in this contest around 125 now). Just trying to help you out here we all make errors.

TC and all have a Merry X-mas!

TC, Like I said above we all make errors and for 16 weeks in this contest I tried to help. I just notice another error which nobody else notice yet. There are only 17 left not 18...I'M THE ERROR and I just notice it myself.

I picked the Saints in week 16 and week 6..what a way to end it, had fun though and Thank You for running this TC you did great! Good Luck to all left.

ari(5pix)vs sea(1pix)

chi(1pix)vs hou(2pix)

ATL we all have somewhere

GB all but sandawg

NE all but tbone

BALT all but logan

TB all but iowa clubber

PIT all but logan

should be fun to watch play out

If all the favorites win, there might be a big tie.

 

[Jeff Pasquino]

Atlanta won, good enough for me.

If I lose the tiebreaker, so be it. I got 17/17. That's something.

 

[CD Dragon]

looks like if BALT loses, alma wins

if BALT wins and DAL loses, 3 way tie - alma, iowa, rainmaker

if BALT wins and DAL wins, iowa wins

its been fun

 

[Twilight]

Looks like Iowa Clubbers is in the drivers seat. He's the only one without Tampa.

 

[Jeff Pasquino]

looks like if BALT loses, alma winsif BALT wins and DAL loses, 3 way tie - alma, iowa, rainmakerif BALT wins and DAL wins, iowa winsits been fun

I'm fine with all of this.17/17 is a damn good mark.

 

[QuizGuy66]

so if I read this right, Alma is out with Seattle's loss (losses in 5th AND 6th tiebreaker)

rainmaker got the 6th tiebreaker right (Miami)

iowa can tie rainmaker if their sixth tiebreaker, San Diego wins tonight.

Btw, great job TC!

-QG

 

[Jeff Pasquino]

So what is the number of 17/17 people? 15?

All champs in my book.

Nice work.

 

[Almas_4th_Child]

I thought it would be a 3 way tie....b/c we all lose on our 5th tie breaker. Making my 6th irrelevant.How crazy is this....after 17 weeks and 5 tiebreakers...lol

 

[hellz_fireflies]

Yes I have to say all with 17 of 17 correct are the real winners.

But the real CHAMP..is TC

 

[TC]

Yes I have to say all with 17 of 17 correct are the real winners.

I certainly agree. 17 winners in 17 weeks means a shared championship. Yet, the Tie breaker winner will also be announced.

 

[hellz_fireflies]

I know I'm being a pain in the butt here chatting away..but damm I had so much fun doing this (yes blew it in week 16)..and its for fun only.

I say now CONGRATS to who ever has the tie breakers..but thinking about this..maybe Joe and David will donate a cap next year for the "2009 Shark Pool Suicide Contest Champion" (that would be nice)..we did have almost 600 FBG's members to play this in 2008..with a small prize with no cost we can have 1000 plus for 2009. And will do need TC to run it..if he's willing to again.Also thinking of this tiebreaker problem..lets run throughout playoffs if still tied Superbowl pick with a closest score!

 

[TC]

In spite of 14 very, very impressive perfect entries, we have a three-way tie for the championship.

Almas_4th_Child PIT ~~ ATL GB NE BAL

iowa clubbers GB ~~ ATL PIT BAL NE

the rainmaker BAL ~~ PIT GB ATL NE

Congratulations to these three gentlemen for advancing with the tie breakers.

Now a quick salute to everyone who had perfect Suicide seasons. 17-0

Almas_4th_Child + awesomeness + beerrun + CD Dragon + iowa clubbers + Jeff Pasquino +

kblitz + logan + pennystock + SanDawg + T Love + the rainmaker + Twilight + Zone Blitz

 

[QuizGuy66]

Hey! I had a perfect season too!

[logan]

great season everyone. 17 weeks is good enough for me as well and i enjoyed it a lot. big thanks to TC for running this and see ya next year.

besides winning two leagues today softens the blow somewhat.

 

[awesomeness]

Congrats to all the people who went 17/17. Was a lot of fun doing this.

Thanks a lot TC. You do an exceptional job with this, and it is very much appreciated

 

[kblitz]

Thanks for doing this TC, it was a lot of fun.

Congrats to all who got that far.

 

[Almas_4th_Child]

Thanks TC for doing this....its been a ton of fun!!!

 

[the rainmaker]

It's been fun being able to participate in this again this year. Thanks TC for all your efforts. Hopefully your able to run it another year. The only thing that would make this any better would be if Footballguys would sponsor the contest next year.

 

[Jeff Pasquino]

Thanks TC for running this.

Glad to have made it all the way to the end.

Not upset AT ALL that Tampa lost.

 

[CrossEyed]

Hi TC. Sorry I never got around to posting my pick of GB in week 17. Who knows how I would have done with the tiebreakers. But between all the busyness of Christmas and spending two days incapacitated with a nasty GI virus, I just never got around to making my picks.

Thanks for all your hard work on this.

 

[CrossEyed]

Bump to see if TC is running this again this season.

 

[TC]

Bump to see if TC is running this again this season.

Yes. Am seeking up 2009 season now.
