Board 8 > NFL Ladder Contest - Week 1

DpObliVion 08/30/17 8:02:30 PM #1:	Football is around the corner, so it's time for another season of the NFL Ladder Contest! Last year's contest was....not as successful as years past, so hopefully we'll avoid those same mistakes this year. Still, it was Stripperiffic who came out on top, so a congrats to him on his performance as we start anew. For anyone new, the Ladder Contest is an NFL prediction game in which you have challenges to get through each week. Get it right and move to the next level; get it wrong, and try again next week. The levels should hopefully get slightly harder as you go. There are also bonus questions each week that could help towards your tiebreaker score at the end. As always, I welcome suggestions and input for levels. I haven't exactly figured out yet what I'm doing with that hellish 4 QB round last year, but some kind of change is definitely happening there. I could keep it with the revised option of selecting three winning QBs, but at a later stage. Anyway, let's get things started. Good luck, have fun, and if anything goes wrong, #BlameWigs. A few ground rules: -The deadline to make a pick is at the start of the second set of games on Sunday afternoon (4:25 PM ET). That means no SNF/MNF picks after most all the games have started or finished. You cannot pick a game that has already started. -The deadline to answer the bonus question is at the start of games on Sunday (1 PM ET). Explanation of Levels: Level 1: Pick a winner. Simply pick one team to win their game. If they win, you go on to level 2. Schedule: Thursday, September 7th Kansas City at New England Sunday, September 10th NY Jets at Buffalo Atlanta at Chicago Jacksonville at Houston Philadelphia at Washington Arizona at Detroit Oakland at Tennessee Tampa Bay at Miami Baltimore at Cincinnati Pittsburgh at Cleveland Indianapolis at LA Rams Seattle at Green Bay Carolina at San Francisco NY Giants at Dallas Monday, September 11th New Orleans at Minnesota LA Chargers at Denver Bonus Question: Will any games go to overtime this week? --- LGM <cite>DpObliVion posted [p:885744474] in NFL Ladder...

Emeraldegg 08/31/17 1:28:13 PM #17:	I just have a question, have you considered maybe laying out the entirety of the ladder before the start so that everyone can see what we have in store, rather than being blindsided like last year if there's something that's generally considered out of place? I mean I know that not everyone will like everything but I feel like last year's level 4 is an example of something egregious that could have been avoided had they been aware of it beforehand. --- I'm a greener egg than the eggs from dr. seuss <cite>Emeraldegg posted [p:885784061] in NFL Ladder...
