Gridiron Eliminator Challenge – 2008 Season

  1. Concept. Similar to our Gridiron Challenge, with a twist. Instead of picking the best players each week, once you pick a player, that play is GONE, and you may not play him again this season. Therefore, you need to "pick your spot" for when you are going to play a specific player.
  2. Number of Members. No Limit.
  3. Entry Fee: $20. Payable by Palpal (preferred, cash transfer or e-checks (credit cards will be rejected)) or cash.
  4. Rosters. Each week, you will populate your roster with 1 QB, 1 RB, 2 WR's, 1 K, and 1 DEFense/Special Teams. To have a valid entry, you must make picks each week..
  5. Defenses: Defenses includes Special Teams as well.
  6. Scoring:
    7. QB:6 Pts/TD run/thrown/caught
    -2 Pts/Interception Thrown
    1 Pt for each 25 yards thrown.
    1 Pt for each 10 yards run.
    1 Pt for each 10 yards receiving.

    NOTE: ONLY players listed as QB's will get QB points for team
    Total points for QB may not be less than zero.

    1 Pt for each 25 yards thrown.
    1 Pt for each 10 yards run.
    1 Pt for each 10 yards caught.
    2 Pts for 2-point conversions, run/thrown/caught.

    1 Pt bonus (total of 4) for each FG over 40 yards.
    2 Pt bonus (total of 5) for each FG over 50 yards.

    10 Pts minimizing the score bonus.
    You lose 1 pt for every 3 points (or fraction) scored.
    (for example, 9 pts scored, 7 bonus pt; 10 pts scored, 6 bonus pts, 31 points scored, -1 bonus pts). Negative score possible.

  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). NO Weekly Prizes. 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. Player with least total score from Defense, then Kickers, then WR, then Rb, then QB.
  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.
