The Official 2016-17 NFL Confidence Pool

[Crimsonmistymemory]

Hi Y'all

We are officially one week away from the start of the 2016-17 NFL season. Here is the place for you to show your NFL savvy and or luck as you pick with the most confidence who will win and who will lose. We have a couple of new wrinkles from confidence pools of old. These changes have been made to make things more exciting and more fair.

1- if one misses a pick Eg: Thursday night there will be a penalty assessed of losing the highest amount of (coinfidence) points for the week. This also includes the missing of picking a Monday night game.

2- If one misses a week of picks a 25 point penalty will be assessed for each week missed

3- The confidence pool will officially extend into the playoffs. :yay: there is a multiplier formula used that has been detailed in the 2016 confidence pool survey.

Wild Card round point values will be 4,6,8,10

Divisional round " " " " 5,10,15,20

Confrence Championship- 20,25

Super Bowl- 50

 

It has also been agreed that all participants will do their best to keep track of their weekly totals. We do however have an overlord that will post weekly and season totals. Thank you beantor for watching over all of us NFL nuts

 

Remember as long as your pick is in before the official kick off it will count. If by time stamp verification picks are late they will be subject to penalties.

 

I would like to wish everyone good luck in their picks and I hope all your favorite teams do well.

 

So let the games begin :yay:

That all looks good to me....it's time for me to do some research and find my sources I used last year. This year will be tough in that there's so much uncertainty with the Patriots this year.

This is not modifying the structure, this is so when Jacksonville and Tennessee TIE in week 8, we have a solution in place...and we don't all argue back in forth over what is a TIE...A TIE can only go 2 ways. Either a WIN for everyone or a loss for everyone. Pick 1 side and go with it...A TIE happens roughly every 3 years..

No sane person will Predict a tie...LOL...Last year it was a Loss I believe..NO POINTS AWARDED on either side.....just mentioning because ..u never know..and so bean-tor knows what to do...either way it's not an advantage either way...Whatever everyone wants to do with I'm cool with it...

Yes, please let me know either way--I had assumed that you folks were going with what I read in last year's thread, which was that no points were awarded for ties. I have structured the formula this way, but if you want to do something different this year, please just let me know so that I can make the adjustments :)

The League accountant has spoken.

So it is written...words, blah, stuff... :drool: .I thought it was sort of an unwritten understanding from previous years..

Don't tinker with your formula, I think I may have just confused Crimson with my last minute input.

For that I apologize...like I said 'just in case'...
