Basketball elimination contest--rules and action

[Doc]

Elimination (or Survival) game: Each round (tues/wed/thurs OR Sat/SUN) you pick ONE SEC team to win. Its that simple. There are no points, no spreads. Just pick the winner. HOWEVER in the following rounds you can not re-use a team. So if you pick FL to win in Sat of week 1 then you can not use FL in mid week 1 or week 2 or 3 or 4 or 5 etc. If you pick Alabama in mid week 1 you can not use FL or Bama in weeks 3 or 4 or 5 or 6. We will only be playing INTRACONFERENCE GAMES, thus the big 12/SEC challenge is an OFF week (even though I believe a couple teams will be playing..we are just skipping that round. If the team you pick loses then you get a strike. Three strikes and you are out of the game. This game requires you to play from week two. If you miss a week you get an auto-strike, (and an automatic strike means the strike PLUS YOU ARE ASSIGNED A TEAM THAT YOU HAVE NOT USED TO HAVE PLAYED THAT DID LOSE, AND WAS THE HIGHEST RANKED TEAM PER THE SEC STANDING THAT YOU HAVE NOT USED). The last person standing wins. Any games cancelled due to weather etc that you picked a winner in means you must play TWO games the following round.

#BE SURE TO NOT USE REPEATS---since this didn't get caught, I private messaged you today. If you don't change it, you either get a strike OR double pick on Sat.

[UKFlounder]

MO
AL

[catmanjack]

Sorry about that Doc if possible change that pick to UT.

[catmanjack]

Missouri and Alabama

[Doc]

Sorry about that Doc if possible change that pick to UT.

Can't change to TN. They played last night. Its too easy to pick a winner after the game is played. Only Jerry Meyers gets to do that (LOL). Just double pick Sat

[catmanjack]

Wow as you can see I am out of touch with no cable tv!

[catmanjack]

Georgia for Saturday’s double pick.

MS
Alabama

[kingcat]

I thought I had posted but I dont see it. Had a rough, rough week that has left me in a daze.

I am out, sorry gang.

[UKFlounder]

GA is my only remaining choice

[Doc]

Sorry...forgot to update

Flounder and Darrell in

Flounder has GA over MS by process of elimination
Darrell has Vandy over Alabama

Each has 2 strikes, both needing road victories........

[Darrell KSR]

Go 'Dores! Good time for a win.

[Doc]

Both lost...... not surprised. GA by ONE, oh so close. Vandy by 7

Co-champs: Darrell and Flounder.

[Darrell KSR]

Flounder ought to get credit for the win for picking Vanderbilt earlier than the very last game of the competition.

[UKFlounder]

After week 1, I expected to be gone soon thereafter so this was a surprise.

Good job Darrell

[Darrell KSR]

Same to you, sir. Impressive comeback after the first round game!

[kingcat]

Congrats!

And thanks Doc.
