Elimination game-basketball style
Elimination (or Survival) game: Its that time again so lets get started. In the basketball version we only use SEC vs SEC matchups. Each round (2 rounds each week. SAT/SUN games is one round and TUES/WED/THURS is the second round) you pick ONE SEC team to win from each round. Its that simple. There are no points, no spreads. Just pick the winner. HOWEVER in the following weeks you can not re-use either team. ONCE A TEAM IS USED, IT CANNOT BE REUSED until round 15. So if you pick FL to win in round 1 then you can not use FL in round 2 or 3 or 4 or 5 etc. If you pick Alabama in round 2 you can not use FL or Bama in rounds 3 or 4 or 5 or 6. If the team you pick loses then you get a strike. Three strikes and you are out of the contest. This game requires you to play from round one (and if you miss a round you get an automatic strike) or take a strike. The last person standing wins. As we get later in the year I might modify the game a bit to get to a single overall winner but fear not, after about 5 rounds it gets hard and by round 10 I don't expect too many to be surviving. We may do a redux midway thru the year if we get lots of folks flunking out early.

Re: Elimination game-basketball style
Thanks. I just found this
“Before I leave I’d like to see our politics begin to return to the purposes and practices that distinguish our history from the history of other nations,
“I would like to see us recover our sense that we are more alike than different. We are citizens of a republic made of shared ideals forged in a new world to replace the tribal enmities that tormented the old one. Even in times of political turmoil such as these, we share that awesome heritage and the responsibility to embrace it.”

Re: Elimination game-basketball style
Due to not knowing what's going to happen in most of the round two games, I'll take Kentucky (probably jinxed us at vandy I know)
I'll wait round three out until we get a better idea who is who in the SEC
