NEW Old Pick 'Em Game!!!!! The Glorious Return!!!! Week 1 of 8

Welcome all! It has recently been noted that our friend Bingo762 no longer has the time to run the Pick 'Em game anymore, so somebody had to pick it up. I toyed with the idea before when DerGergis first said he was done earlier this year, and Bingo762 wound up picking it back up before I could pull the trigger on it. Well, I have decided that I am now willing to do it, and would also like to bring back the previous format that DerGergis used to use.

I figure that it may be best to just start this off as an 8-week session to finish off the year, after which we can discuss whether we want to continue with 8 week sessions, or bump in up to 12. Either way, I am excited to get the game going again, and hope that it is popular and successful. So let's get this show on the road! (NOTE - This is all the work of Rusty Griswold. I am just posting it on the main page for him - formatting needs a little overhaul with the new posting format, I’ll get it fixed for next week)

Some notable rule changes/comments will be as follows:

-Players can now only PASS on one pick per week. Any additional PASS will result in a loss of 10 points, so you are better off making an attempt.

-There will still be a 10-point participation bonus delivered every week that a player submits picks.

-Since this first session will only be 8 weeks, every player will begin with eight(8) Doubles and four(4)Triples, which can be used as a multiplier on any pick. Unused Multipliers will not carry over into the next session, so make sure to use them up (if you so desire) before the end.

****REMEMBER: Players are only allowed to Pass on one pick per week now. A failure to make a selection on more than one fight will result in a loss of 10 points per additional passed fight.****
