Why two?????????????

Ole Miss & Aubie

[truecatsfan]

Miss.
LSU

[Doc]

Why two?????????????

Ole Miss & Aubie

because season is half way thru and only one person has more than one strike. We don't start losing people soon we are going to end up with 10 people playing the last week.

Season is 14 weeks long. We just completed week 4.

OK, a quarter done but with three strikes, I needed to shake it up a bit and speed it up some.

[MickintheHam]

I understand. There will be three people with one strike on Dec 1.

So, how many times do I get to use alaBama?

[SalsaKat]

So does this mean we won't play anybody on week 14 or we'll get to re-play someone on week 14 or will we be picking two each for the next five weeks and then re-pick or...?

I believe Doc has stepped in it.

[SalsaKat]

I don't really mind, I just want to know what we're doing going forward. I'm a big enough nerd that I had the whole season planned out.

[Doc]

I believe Doc has stepped in it.

Nope. Will see as we get near the end. Might have do like we did last year for the bowls where all teams playing are used only listed from most likely to least likely. The first team on your list to lose is where you are knocked out. Lots of options to keep the game interesting. I like throwing monkey wrenches in there every now and then to keep people on their toes.

PS: any suggestions folks want to make to shake things up, I'm always open to them. These game evolve thru suggestions and modifications. Some work, some don't. Example would be the TFP / DS in BTO. I like it. It was a thing we tried that we liked. Other things haven't. If they work we keep them, if they don't we chunk them.

[SalsaKat]

Doc,

If you want to do multiple picks, how about two picks each for weeks 5-9? At that point all 14 teams will have been used.

Then allow people to start re-using teams, and do two picks again for week 10.

\For weeks 11-14, make everyone pick three in order to use up the remaining 12 teams. If plenty of people have strikes by then you could give everyone a freebie, so like if only one of your teams loses you don't get docked a strike, since picking three teams and having all of them win every week seems kinda rough. But if you need to cull the herd by that point you could make all three count.

Sound like the old ABA free throw bonus rule...3 to make 2.
