Texans Talk Pickem

Cool, Thanks for signing up! I have set the league up to use confidence points....

Yahoo said:
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.

So do y'all want to keep the confidence points?

I've played it both ways and I'm fine either way.

It takes a lot more time and consideration with the confidence points. And when you hit all the no-confidence picks and blow the big ones, it can be frustrating. :)

I've never played it this way, sounds very interesting. As long as everyone is ok with it, I'll keep it the way it is.
 
The league is looking good! 17 spots are now filled. 8 more to fill!



Thanks to all that have signed up already.:tiphat:
 
I'd be happy to do it but have never played this at all. Until baseball season is up I'm knee deep in following the Astros (it's a Showtime thing) and will do my best keep up until then, at which time I can concentrate on it a little better. If I sign in I'll be there until they fit me for a box. I always play to the end if I sign.

If that's cool with you guys I'm in, but will have to join this afternoon as I'm walking out the door right now.

Would I be the only rookie?? Does the site explain things from the ground up??

Cool! It's pretty easy, you pick the teams that you think will win...for the games you are most confident in the winner you give confidence points. If there are 16 games you give 16 points in the game you are most confident that team will win and if you win you are awarded 16 points. The the next game you will put 15 points in until the last game you get to 1 point. You can look at points sort of like money. Once you sign up and look how it is layed out, it might give you a better idea of how to play.

Excellent, sounds simple enough. I'll get over there today, soon if I can. I wonder if this would be a good way of getting my wife on this board. If you see "Showgirl" or "Weasel" that's her.
 
We have 23 of 25 spots filled! Tuesday will be the deadline for signing up. I will keep it at 25 spots unless we have a demand for more spots between now and Tuesday. Remember we have a game on Thursday so you will need to get your pick in at least 5 minutes before that game.

Thanks to everyone that has signed up so far.:tiphat:

It's not a fantasy football league, so there will be no draft. You try to pick the winners in all NFL games played during that particular week.


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 :cool:
 
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?
