NFL Playoff Contest?

[Malik23]

Anyone up for an NFL playoff contest? Figure we can just do a simple bracket, with 1 point for wild card round, 2 for divisional round, 4 for conference champ and 8 for superbowl winner?

I'm happy to run it if people are interested. Would need all entries in before 4PM EST tomorrow. At least 1 month and 1 positive and no negative trader feedback to participate. Prizes - let everyone contribute 2-3 sticks to be split between the winner and second-place.

I'll put together a bracket if we have more than 4-5 people interested.

Post here if you are interested.

Alrighty then. I've drawn up a bracket. You can see it here. Basically, it gives playoff structure and teams from each conference. The only possible errors would be in determining opponents due to the seeding.

Just to clarify that, within each playoff weekend and for each conference, the highest seeded team plays the lowest seeded team, next highest plays the next lowest, etc. So if the #5 Jets beat the #4 Pats and the #6 Chiefs beat the #3 Colts, the Colts would play #2 Baltimore and the Jets would play the #1 Chargers. If you are unclear on what combination of opponents would result from your picks, please ask.

Entries should be posted in this thread before 4:00 PM EST tomorrow, Saturday, January 6th. Entries will consist of the winner of each game through the Super Bowl, as denoted by the code for each box, for a total of 11 winners picked. The total points scored by both teams in the Super Bowl should also be chosen to act as a tie-breaker.

For example, to indicate that you think New England, Seattle, Indy and Philly would all win their respective games, you would put the following:

A1: New England
A2: Indianapolis
N1: Seattle
N2: Philadelphia

Again, if you have any questions, please ask.

Got it ... Here's mine.

A1-New England (will play Baltimore)
A2-Kansas City (will play San Diego)

N1-Dallas (will play Chicago)
N2-Philadelphia (will play New Orleans)

A3-New England
A4-San Diego

N3-Chicago
N4-Philadelphia

A5-San Diego
N5-Philadelphia

SB-Philadelphia

Good luck to all ... if I screwed something up, lemme know, but I think this is how it's seeded.

[Malik23]

Looks good. Just need a point total for the SB in case of a tie.

[Malik23]

Also, can we get a consensus here on entry fee/prizes? 2-3 sticks/person seems fine, but since we are looking at splitting between two winners, does everyone want to send sticks to me and I will divide the prizes, or should we just have everyone send two sticks to the winner(or one of higher value/rarity) and one to second place?

[monsoon]

Whoop ... tiebreaker SB total points = 38

I'm flexable on how the prize is gathered. Just post what you would rather do and I'll comply

[orangehorse]

A2: Indy
A3: SD
A4: Indy
A5: SD

Let me know if I screwed this up at all.
