Woodbuck hasn't been around to set it up, but feel free to do it. I am sure the usual suspects would join.
I'm in a Pick-em in another forum, but would be pleased to play here as well this season . I'm not a Programmer/Geek and would only be a player. I will be looking for the PackerRats Pick-em and will be ready to compete against this forums members this fall .
:glug:
Not being a participant at all in fantasy football, sports betting, sports pools, or anything similar (if that is even what this is), can some explain what a "Pickem" league or what ever is?
It was Jimx29 who sets up the Pick'Em league. Haven't seen him around for a while.
I think its a regular old, pre-fantasy football, betting pool on the week's pro football action. Each week you get (nominally) 16 games and you pick a winner and rank your certainty of the pick (1-16, 16 being surest bet).
If you pick right, you get the points associated with the rank. If you lose, you get bupkus. Add them up and highest point total wins the week and the money.
At Yahoo, I assume the contest is not for money and its played over the entire season.
Yahoo site / entire season / free / champion gets bragging rights .
Depending how you have it set upyou can have it single or double eleminationdepending how many people played you pick every week and the person with the worse score goes homein double u get to loose 2 so it does doublue yore chances :)t is fun I enjoy it but dont think yhis bis my yr. lol

First, I must complement you on your Avatar.
Next, does this Pickem have one overall winner at the end of the Regular Season or lots of weekly Winners or Both ?
Can this thread be made Sticky to Allow the greatest access to the most players ?
Sounds Solid so far as I can observe . I shall visit and see for myself though .
OK, been there done that it's good !
Don't forget the GROUP # 23160
and the Password : superbowl
It was easy for me as I already had a Yahoo account , but that is also easy to do if you don't already have one .
One overall winner but it does show weekly results, so you can give yourself a nice pat on the back any time you do the best in a given week.
Also I set it to continue through the playoffs, but that's an option that can be changed. If enough people prefer to end it at the end of the regular season I can change it.
I'm in. Thanks superfan for setting it up.
Thanks superfan for setting up this years Pro Pickem. I managed to get signed up using the slowest WiFi Connection on the Planet..LOL.
It's always been the case to award the Season's Championship based 'only' on the Regular Season's games. To receive recognition by Yahoo Sports one must continue the Pro Pickem throughout the playoffs.
Good Luck everyone.
Took a break from this for a few years. I'll give it a whirl this year.
