[Kevin]

[cougarjake13]

once all playoff teams are officially in

we can start making our roster selections

[cougarjake13]

bump



all playoff teams are in and you can now pick your team

[Bama]

So what's the deal here?

You have to pick your guys and stay under 300 points. Then you get 8 more picks for the rest of the playoffs. Do they cost points or can you just pick any 8 guys you want?

Should I be saving some of my points for later or can I just go all out and use them all in the first week?

from what im reading of the rules its like this

you get 300 points to use and that number remains for the entirety of the playoffs, theres no saving for future rounds, each round you'll have 300 to use

so lets say for wild card round you use 295, then in div round you decide to change rb's b/c the one you selected in wild card his team got eliminated so minus his points lets say 10 so now you have 285 and 15 pts to use to find a new rb, same will apply for championship round and super bowl


as for the 8 moves that means you can only make 8 changes total after the wild card round, and yes they'll cost posts but you're gaining points by dropping one guy for the other or because the player you had his team is eliminated, so lets say you make 3 changes in div rd, 3 in champ rd, and 2 in super bowl = 8

so basically you're picking the best players you want and give you a lot of points but also have to think how long they'll last in playoffs




Round Lineup

Setting Your Lineup

There are four (4) NFL playoff rounds total during the Contest. Prior to the first round of the NFL playoffs (the "Wild Card Playoff Round"), you can choose a starting lineup of eight (8) NFL players.

You will have 300 units (as explained below) to "spend" assembling your team. You will be able to change your lineup, without penalty, until the lineup setting deadline for the Wild Card Playoff Round (see "Lineup Setting Deadline" section below).

Once your lineup locks for the Wild Card Playoff Round, you will have eight (8) lineup moves to make for the remainder of the Contest. You may use as many of the moves allotted in any round as you would like, however, you will not be able to exceed the eight (8) moves allotted for the remainder of the Contest.

yeh it'll be a tough hill to climb but with the 8 moves you may be okay and be able to make a comeback

[Bama]

This is tough.

I might not have any guys left by the time the Superbowl comes around.

i know what you mean i was trying to pick guys i though would last a few rounds


i picked a few colts and no arizona guys and that back fired


i picked 7 new guys for this upcoming round so if they dont make it through to the next round im screwed

[Bama]

I picked a couple of Falcons just because I was sure they would advance. Ooops.

Also picked some Colts because I'm an idiot and I forgot it was the playoffs, I guess.

[Ogre]

5 ints for Del Homey for fucksake I am done here. I was sure the Panthers would stomp the shit out of the Cards. The only saving grace is I had Fitzgerald. Kurt Warner in the NFC Championship game, whodathunkit?
