Yay for everyone returning, and coming in new!!

I'd love to advertise this game over in the BB area, in the off chance there are football fans over there that don't venture into other areas of the board. Any ideas where I could advertise that A)Isn't off topic, B)would get the most reads, and C)wouldn't get buried with other posts a nanosecond after getting posted.

OPEN INVITATION


This is an open invitation to ANYONE and EVERYONE who wants to come and play this game. Yes, I sent out a lot of personal invites. But if you didn't get one, don't think you're not invited. There are a lot of reasons you may not have gotten an invite. Maybe I did send you one, and the PM/e-mail never reached you. And I posted invites only in folders that had recent activity (I went primarily PM/e-mail in every case I could).

Also, if you want to play only from time to time, but don't want to be committed to a season long ranking that would hurt if you forgot picks, or joined the game late, I can just not include you in the season long rankings at your request.

Also, you aren't required to play on a team, but it sure makes the game a lot more fun!! See the "Teams" folder to see what that is all about!

I've posted the chart with everyone's picks on it at the end of the Pre-Season Week 1 thread in the Weekly Picks folder. Please check to make sure I entered your picks correctly. Thanks!

Results are now posted in the Weekly Results folder.

Congrats to Redpen, who wins the first week of the Pre-Season!! Great job!!

Just a refresher (for returning vets), and an FYI for the newcomers on how this is scored:

Each game you guess on is worth 40 points for a correct guess, And the two bonus questions are worth a total of 40 more points. Each week, the total number of points you receive is calculated as a percentage of the total available points for the week to arrive at your score.

So, using my results this week as an example:
• I got 5 games correct for a total of 200 points.
• On BQ1 I guessed 10, and the actual point spread was 4. I was off by 6. The maximum points possible on BQ1 was 15, minus the variance of how far off I was. 15 minus 6 is 9, so I received 9 points in BQ1.
• On BQ2 I guessed 27, and the actual total points of the game was 32. I was off by 5. The maximum points possible for BQ2 is 25, minus the variance of how far off I was. 25 minus 5 is 20, so I received 20 points in BQ2.
• My total points earned for the week is 229 (200 on game picks, 29 on BQ points).
• The total available points for the week is 680 (16 games @ 40 points each, and 40 bonus points).
• My points earned (229) is 33.676% of the total available points (680), making my score for the week 33.676.

Hope that makes sense!

If anyone has any questions, please don't hesitate to ask. And if you see an error in the way I calculated your score, please make sure to point it out to me. I rely heavily on the formulas in my Excel workbook. And its not beyond be to have an error in one of the formulas. Not to mention its not beyond me to place an X in the wrong column when transferring your picks from the board to the workbook.

Hey Scoots, you need to tweak your picks for Week 2 in the Football Pool game.....you didn't pick a team for Game #6 (Houston @ Arizona).

Hurry! Deadline is about 1 1/2 hours away. If you don't fix it by then, unfortunately it will go down as a "no pick" for that game.

Man, I'm off to a rousing start. I'm now convinced there's a conspiracy afoot. The NFL is looking at my picks, then fixing the games so the opposite of what I picked comes true.

Yup, that has to be what's going on.
