EB NFL Pick 'em League (2015)

I haven't been on CBS Sports in a long time. How do you get to the league page to sign up?

You should have gotten an invitation email from me to your Yahoo account. It may have been flagged as spam though. If not, let me know and I'll resend it.

Found it, thanks!

We are up to 8 players now!

When you said games would be weighted from 16 to 1, that means we can't change it? (sorry, just making sure)

 

[knight1fox3]

You're allowed to make changes at any time up until 1-hr before the target game begins.

Also, the "drag & drop" feature works pretty nice so that you don't have to hit each drop down box to select point values. And as mentioned, there should be apps for both Android and Apple platforms.

Do we need to do anything with the "weight"?

Is that used as some level of tie breaker?

Absolutely. That's the premise behind a pick 'em type FF league. Not only do you pick a team to win each week, but you assign said points as your confidence level. Each game you guess correctly gets you the points you assigned. Typically the games you are most certain of the winner gets the highest point values. The ones you are least certain of get the lowest. But then there are always upsets too. I did set a tie-breaker but that only matters if you tie someone else in points for that week. The tie breaker is to guess the MNF total score (i.e. Team A + Team B = Total Score). Make sense?

It's not such a big deal if you were to miss your Thursday or MNF pick, but if you were to miss the first round of games on Sun afternoon, that would be costly because the games will lock and you will get 0 points for those. Let me know if there are any other questions or if something is unclear.

Ok. I think I get it. Thanks.

Ok so 16 is the most confident and assuming I picked the correct team, I'd earn 16 points for that game? I made picks through the iPhone app and couldn't see how to modify confidence values at first, but now I see you can shuffle games with drag/drop.

Correct. Your highest point value game (which is obviously GB beating Chicago....LOL) would get you 16 points assuming you picked correctly.

Correct. Just sent it and also added you to the password access PM.

[Road Guy]

[Ken PE 3.1]

As long as the broncos lose, life is good.
