 rockotman...Blown On The Steel BreezeEmerging Research join:2000-08-06 DSotM kudos:2 3 edits | [NFL] 2011 NFL Playoff Poll Here is how it works (the same as last year)...
Each week of the playoffs, post your picks for each game.
Important: The order in which you post your picks will determine the "confidence points" that you place on your picks.
The first pick will be worth 4 points, the second worth 3, the third worth 2, and the last worth 1.
The wildcard games (in no particular order) this year are set as follows:
CIN @ HOU ATL @ NYG PIT @ DEN DET @ NO
So, if your picks for the first weekend are posted as...
PIT NO ATL HOU
and the actual results are
PIT DET ATL CIN
Then you would earn a score of 4 + 2 for picking PITand ATL correctly, but no points for picking the other two incorrectly.
The first two weeks of the playoffs will have confidence point values of 4, 3, 2, and 1. The conference championship week will have confidence point values of only 4 and 3, and the Superbowl itself will be worth 4.
The winner will be the person with the most points after the winner of SB XLVI is determined.
I will keep a running tally in a spreadsheet, and post the results weekly so that you can see who is ahead and who is behind, and perhaps adjust subsequent picks accordingly.
NOTE: You must post your picks before the start of the first game of the weekend. Once the first game starts no changes or additions will be accepted. -- Shine on you crazy diamond... |

 rockotman...Blown On The Steel BreezeEmerging Research join:2000-08-06 DSotM kudos:2 | reply to rockotman Is that the order in which you chose to place your confidence points? PIT for 4, CIN for 3, NO for 2, and ATL for 1?
Remember, the order in which you post your picks determine how much each pick is worth. -- Shine on you crazy diamond... |
