Week 14... THE PLAYOFFS (Overview)

The playoffs are here... Week 14 of the NFL Regular Season. The final regular season standings are in and the playoff seedings are set. Round One BYE's go to:

#1 LRobbins (9-2)
#2 Cam2109 (9-2)

These players will get a first round BYE which means that they aren't playing in round 1. However, they should still make a pick in round one as the first tiebreaker in the playoffs is total playoff scoring.

The first round matchups look like this:
#3 Jeff C (9-2)
vs
#6 Jay Dub (9-2)

#4 Gridiron Guru (9-2)
vs
#5 Monica (9-2)

Playoffs wins are scored by the points differential of the team a player picked. If player A's chosen team loses by 10 points and Player B's losses by 14 points Player A get the win and moves on to round two. Whichever player wins by more or loses by less advances to the next round. For more detailed rules you can click on the rules links at the top of this page or go to the rules section on the Home menu.

Remember, the first game of the week is Thursday at 8:20 so if you are going to make a pick you must have it in by then. If you chose not to make a pick, you will not automatically receive a loss, your win/loss will be based solely on what your opponent's team does.

Due to the playoffs tiebreaking procedures picks for round one will not be posted until the selection window is closed. If you make a pick make sure to check your email for the confirmation notice. If you didn't get one, make your pick again. If you continue to to not get a confirmation you may email me or use the contact me link on the Home menu.

Good luck to everyone who can still win some money.

I think the winnings breakdown should be 50/30/20. September 22, 2008 9:21 PM

What do you guys think about keeping the rules the same as far as picking your three teams and each week picking one, but instead of JUST picking a team, you get scheduled against an opponent who is also in the game. The person whose team wins by the most(or loses by the least) gets the victory? September 25, 2008 12:05 PM

I might remove the BYE week and start the playoffs a week early. This would set up a two week opening round, a one week 2nd round, and a two week championship round... 5 weeks of playoffs altogether. This might aleviate some of the tiebreaker issues I'm trying to work around with the current playoff set up. December 22, 2008 11:12 AM
