Whoo Hoo! Can you believe it? Another season just around the corner. OK players, lets start recruiting now! I'll start up with the first pre-season week in a few days. First pre-season game/weekend starts Aug 10. So I'll probably open the game up on about the 5th for the first round of picks. Just like last year (and just like the NFL), the Pre-Season won't count towards the average scores kept for the Regular Season, Post Season and Full Season Average scores I keep. I am contemplating keeping an average score for Pre-Season though, just for fun. I'll be back with a refresher on rules and all that kind of stuff a little later! In the meantime, here's a tailgate party for anyone who wants to come and join in on the festivities while we wait for the season to start!

The game is now open for picks for Pre-Season 1 Please go to the Weekly Picks folder to see the game open announcement, and to place your picks. Overview.... First of all, in the off chance there is a board outage (and the deadline is near), please feel free to e-mail me at Whoamitvch@comcast.net. Otherwise please post your picks in the appropriate thread. Please make a note of my e-mail and keep it handy, as you won't have access to it otherwise if we end up with a board outage. I would prefer you format your picks the way I've done mine in my picks, by listing the game#, your pick, and then the Bonus Questions. This makes things easier on me to transfer your picks to my Excel chart. If you don't format it that way, that's ok. You won't be docked, but it will take me a bit longer to enter your picks. Side note: The color of my picks post, and the wolf clipart is just a little personalized touch I do to all my picks in the TVCH games I participate in. It helps me see at a glance if I've submitted my picks for that week or not. Feel free to personalize your post/picks if you like, but its certainly not a requirement! This year, I'm gonna have to bite the bullet and be more strict about deadlines, and say a deadline is a deadline. The first couple of years I tried to be relaxed about it cause I hated to see people get excluded from the game when they just plain let life/time get away from them and didn't get early game picks in. That usually leads to tense feelings from other players, and I just want to avoid those kinds of things up front this year. So consider this an official warning. The only time I'll relax the deadline rule is if the NFL suddenly changes the schedule after I've posted the game open announcement for that week (for weather purposes or whatever might happen), and there's a chance of players not seeing that change of schedule in time. If/when that occurs, I'll likely handle it like I did when games were shuffled around due to Katrina last year. When a week will start off with an earlier than usual game, I will make a "red flag" announcement when I'm posting the previous week's scores to give everyone a heads up. Red Flag Heads up Announcement1: All of the Pre-Season weeks start on a Thursday, so you will have Thursday deadlines for all of pre-season! Red Flag Heads Up Announcement2: Week 1 of the Regular Season will also start with a Thursday game. So that will be an early deadline too! We shouldn't have to worry about early picks for the rest of the season until Week 12. So we should be ok for a while then! Please post any questions you have about the game (rules, scoring, etc) in this General Discussion area. Or send me a PM/e-mail. Lets have fun and play!

I know, its so hard to believe the season is already upon us! But, this is one of the reasons I don't have the pre-season count towards the Season Average. This gives us all a chance to get back into it. I've been meaning to stop by everyone's folders and remind/invite previous year's players. But with the job hunt and all, I haven't been as on top of it as I wanted to. If you yak with anyone you remember played before, maybe you can help me out and remind them too. Don't stress over the bonus question Twinks. They're just there for a tie-breaker.

Hi Who, thanks for the kind reminder. I'm not sure I'll be playing this season, but if I do, I'll join in at the start of the regular season. Thanks again.
