Elimination contest-play here

[Doc]

Going to try a NEW game. For those who have played NFL elimination pools, its the same game only we are using college basketball. Here is how its played.

Each 1/2 week I'll list the SEC game (APPLIES TO SEC vs SEC only). Your job is to pick one winner of any of the games. There are no spreads, just winner/loser. Once you pick a team you can not pick that team in any of the following weeks. For example, if you pick UK to win over Vandy you can not pick UK in week 2, 3, 4 etc. If the second week you pick FL to win then you can not pick them or UK in week 3, 4, 5, etc..... So as time goes it gets harder and harder. If you make an incorrect pick you get a strike (and you can not use the team you picked). 2 strikes and you are out. If you miss a week it counts as a strike. As we get to the end of the season, if we have multiple players then we well figure out a tie breaker system

So for week 1 the games are:


Alabama at Missouri
Georgia at Florida
South Carolina at Mississippi St.
Ole Miss at Tennessee
LSU at Auburn
Arkansas at Texas A&M
Kentucky at Vanderbilt

[Doc]

Doc's pick for week 1 is

TENNESSEE

[Darrell KSR]

I have never played this game before, but I love the concept.

[UKFlounder]

OK - hopefully I last more than 2 weeks at this. I probably should look at future weeks to see which teams I may eventually want to pick then instead of now, but what's the fun in that?

I'll go with Missouri

[Darrell KSR]

Texas A&M

[Darrell KSR]

I just hope to make it to February.

[jandpsdad]

Missouri

- a long three from NW Indiana on that one!
Hope it does better than Hulls against Iowa...

[WoodstockCat]

My pick for week 1 is South Carolina.

[Rock Hard Ten]

South Carolina

[Catfan73]

So if I'm understanding this correctly Doc, one strategy would be to pick the bad teams as early as possible, right? Otherwise when you get toward the end of the game, you'd only have bad teams left from which to pick. Of course, picking bad teams is risky no matter when you do it. With that in mind, let's try

Mississippi State.

[Doc]

after the game I will list
1) number of strikes you have
2) teams you can not use

That is one strategy, or if you pick bad teams and they lose you last a shorter period of time. After about 4 weeks it gets tough Realistically, I look for the worst team that I'm sure will win.

NOTE: I'll be going 2 games a week. We have our midweek games as one contest and weekend games as the other. Considering there are 19 in conference games, after 14 games (which is 7 weeks)-assuming we still have players, we will be able to repick a team.

This is interesting. I've been out of the game for awhile now, but checked in to see how the winners were doing and how they were doing it. . . . kind of reverse engineering, but sometimes it works. :D

I noticed right away that the remaining players haven't had too many picks for teams in the bottom half of the SEC. In fact, if one goes by Sagarin's ratings, only 9 of those 41 picks are for one of the bottom 7 teams in the SEC, and 5 of those 9 are for Texas A&M, the #8 team in the league. The 6 teams below A&M have been selected only 4 times combined by the remaining 7 players. Hmmmmm........

My hat is off to all who still stand! :unworthy:

[Doc]

And each week it get tougher. I'm hoping 6 loose this week so we can restart! I like the KSR game and BTO and sup but this one is my favorite

[catmanjack]

No way A&M should have lost to GA, would pick them 10 times and win 9 I bet.

Guess I'll follow most of the crowd and go Tennessee (half-heartedly).
Sorry I'm the last one in ... getting tougher to pick.

[Darrell KSR]

blueboss and I are stubbornly hanging onto our Florida pick. Not a strategy, but I've been trying to pick teams with a very good chance at winning, but not the top of the conference. But with the SEC, it's hard to tell who is the "top," other than Florida.

Assuming I make it past round 7, and man this is a tough one because on one hand you want Ole Miss to beat Fl because we just beat Ole Miss but on the other hand you want FL to win so they'll keep their high ranking when we play them..also Fl is due for a stumble ................but I'm going with FL for round 8 cause this aint the game they're going to stumble cashing in the trump.

we know we are going to lose at least one this weekend since LSU plays MSU and both teams have been picked.

[Darrell KSR]

Not to put the cart before the horse, Doc...but even before this one concludes, could you start the 2nd half of the season one, to let everybody play again? The ones still fighting it out could play in both.

Not trying to double your work, but I suspect some folks would like another shot at it!

[Darrell KSR]

Oh, we get another chance? Cool. But the picks aren't getting any easier, are they?

Geez...my choices are so limited. Vandy, SC or Miss. State. I think Miss. State and SC lose by double digits, so that leaves...

Round 12: Vanderbilt

[Doc]

I'm going to establish a tie breaker now that will go into effect if needed

If more than 1 player remains after all but one team is picked, then each player must pick that team and post whether or not they win or lose..and how much they will win or lose by. If you pick the wrong win/lose then you are eliminated. The winner will be the person who gets the "win/loss" correct and is closest by the number of pts.

So the winner is DARRELL

[Doc]

LSU at Tennessee
Florida at Missouri
Ole Miss at South Carolina
Mississippi St. at Alabama
Texas A&M at Auburn
Vanderbilt at Kentucky
Georgia at Arkansas

by my reckoning, your choices are

South Carolina
Mississippi St.

Auburn available to truecat fan which gives him a bit of an advantage since he missed a week, took the loss but didn't use a team. If Darrell wants to file a protest, I'll listen

[truecatsfan]

Doc, i will wait to see what Darrell wants to do. Dont think any of the teams left wins.

[Darrell KSR]

I'll take South Carolina. No protest here; it's fair!

Go Gamecocks!

[Doc]

No protest here; it's fair!




That is what I figured you would say but wanted to be fair about it and offer the opportunity to raise a protest if you felt one needed to be.

[truecatsfan]

I will take Auburn so this way it will end.

[Darrell KSR]

Good luck to those still in the hunt for the "Redemption!"
