First things first....
GoldSlime35 posted... Just an idea as an outside observer.... I'd like to know more people's opinion on this. It does kind of change the foundation of the contest, but I don't think that's really a problem. A few ground rules: -Please say which level you are on when you post your pick. In most cases it will probably be obvious, but this makes it easier for me to record the picks. -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. Level 2: Pick an Underdog to win. You must pick a team that is an underdog to win their game. Underdogs will always be the team listed second. Schedule: (Favorites listed first; home team in CAPS) Thursday, September 13th Baltimore at CINCINNATI Sunday, September 16th WASHINGTON vs Indianapolis ATLANTA vs Carolina Minnesota at GREEN BAY LA Chargers at BUFFALO Houston at TENNESSEE PITTSBURGH vs Kansas City NY JETS vs Miami Philadelphia at TAMPA BAY NEW ORLEANS vs Cleveland LA RAMS vs Arizona SAN FRANCISCO vs Detroit New England at JACKSONVILLE DENVER vs Oakland DALLAS vs NY Giants Monday, September 17th CHICAGO vs Seattle Bonus Question: How many underdogs will win this week? --- LGM ...

I don't see any need for the proposed change. I always seem to get stuck on a random easier level for a while every year, I don't see that changing and the rule change won't help if it is only for later levels.
As for level 2, still deciding, but it likely won't be the first game anyway. I am guessing the Thursday game doesn't count for the bonus question? --- ~ Ringworm ~ Congrats to BKSheikah - Guru champion - Best Year in Gaming ... Copied to Clipboard!

I am pretty bad at ladder, so I would welcome a trial run of the potential change. Worst case scenario is that we just revert back to the old ways next season.

Good thing I took the Ravens over the Saints in suicide pool...
so, wait, the Thursday game does count for the bonus but the deadline to pick it is still 1pm EST Sunday? My feeling on the change is, most people will spend the majority of the contest in first 4-5 levels anyway, so if that part is going to be rigid, might as well keep the rest rigid as well. Now, maybe the seed of an idea for an entirely different contest is in there somewhere... --- - TKS - The Witness ... Copied to Clipboard!

At least I know now the bonus won't be zero. Cinci were tempting, but been burned by the "Prime-time Bungles" a few too many times now in previous years to trust them.
