Thanks for signing up and looks like we are filled up at 25! I can add 5 extra spots if I need to but the deadline is Tuesday.

Count me in for one of those 5 spots

Wolf · 08-31-2008

me too..It is like golf right? lowest score and I win LOL

Heath Shuler · 08-31-2008

It say league is full. If you add some more spots, I'll play.

**Showtime100** · 08-31-2008

I was thinking we could get a second league going. I'm in the first one but my wife is talking about "helping" me. She could get in that one and pick the damn Niners every week like she always does for all I care...lol.

Even with duplicate members, if they are anything like me would have one team pick a little more daring than the other, etc..etc.

Thoughts?

What are "confidence points?"

Confidence Points are used to give a different weight to each game in a given week. You'll assign a point value (from 1 to 15 if there are 15 games, 1 to 14 if there are 14 games, etc.) to each game based on how strongly you feel about the accuracy of your selection. If your selection is correct, you'll receive points equal to the confidence-point value you associated with that game.

So, if you pick Pittsburgh to beat Dallas and assign the game a confidence point value of 15, you'd get 15 points for a correct pick, but no points if Dallas wins. You don't lose points for an incorrect selection.

Each week's points will be tallied, and the player finishing with the highest total at the end of the year will be the winner of the group.

Each confidence point value may be used only once per week. So, during a 15-game week, after you have assigned 15 points to a game, your next highest available value is 14 points.

We have 3 spots left to make it to 30.

What? You Alex? Wait a minute. You been calling and hanging up?

No. For now her and I both will be Showtime so if you see the damn Niners get picked every week by me you know she must have the goods on me and I was blackmailed into it.

**Brando** · 09-01-2008

So who is "alexismylove"?

Well I was playing to give all my confidence points to the team playing against the 49ers every week as my sure fire winning recipe.

Ditto for the Falcons.

When both those teams finish 0-16 I'll be hanging the texanstalk pickem championship banner.

Drew_Smoke · 09-02-2008

Alexismylove is a very fiesty 17 yr old girl who thinks shes going to kick all of our behinds. Thats her football game pickin' name.

Her strategy is to pick Eli & Peyton every week and guess on the others. She does pretty good considering all she knows is "the Manning boys are hot and Tom Brady and David Carr are ugly."

Alex refers to the singer of some band. Atreyu (sp?) is who I think he is from.

DiehardChris · 09-02-2008

Is there any way to see our records from last year's picks?

lol, I thought since she was a 49ers fan she might be a Alex Smith fan.

Cool, Atreyu is the name of the band that does the song Becoming the Bull.
Tell her Good Luck!

If you use the same email from last year, I think you can.

edit: I guess not, it just shows your rank....
