Gridiron Challenge – 2007 Season (new rules in bold type)

  1. Concept. Similar to a traditional Fantasy Football League, without the draft. You must be aware of the quality players to do well... but everybody picks from the same pool of players every week.
  2. Number of Members. No Limit.
  3. Entry Fee: $50. Payable by Palpal (preferred, cash transfer or e-checks (credit cards will be rejected)), cash or check.
  4. Rosters. Each week, you will populate your roster with 2 QB's, 4 RB's, 6 WR's, 2 K's, and 1 DEFense. If you fail to make picks one week, your roster from the previous week will be used.
  5. Defenses: Defenses includes Special Teams as well. A play on special teams MAY be scored twice, if that player is on the selected Defense (special team), AND that player is on a regular roster, a score will be counted twice.

  7. Thursday Games. If you wish to play players who play on Thursday, you must pick them before 1 hour before kickoff of the first game on Thursday. At that time, all picks will lockout. Soon after the game, picking will resume, but players picked who played on Thursday will be locked... all others may be changed. This rule does NOT apply to Saturday games, where ALL picks will lock 1 hour before the first game of the week (Saturday OR Sunday).
  8. Payoffs. 100% returned in prizes (zero sum game). 50% for weekly prizes; 50% for overall prizes. Weekly prizes in a ratio of approximately 1 for every 15 players; overall prizes in a ratio of approximately 1 for every 10 players. The weekend the game starts, prize distributions will be disclosed. If you do not agree with them, you may email me, BEFORE the games start, and I will return your prize money.
  9. Tiebreakers. Weekly: Player with LEAST number of defense points, then LEAST number of kicker points. After that, prizes will be split. Overall: Prizes will be split. (no tiebreaker).
  10. Errors in Scoring. When errors are made in scoring, simply notify me, and the error will be corrected. Payoffs will occur Wednesday Morning. All scoring is final at that time.
