Game: ESPN Eliminator Challenge (Last Man Standing/Suicide Pool) - Anyone Interested?

Oat23 · 31-08-2014 9:51pm #1

Would anyone be interested in a Boards last man standing league on ESPN?

As esteemed ESPN colleague Herm Edwards likes to say, "You play to win the game." In the case of Eliminator Challenge, you play to pick the winner of one NFL game each week straight up. You don't have to worry about a point spread here. If you can successfully pick a winning team for all 17 weeks of the season, you're in good shape to win the grand prize.
Ah, but there's a catch. Once you pick a team, you can't use that team the rest of the season. So you'll have to make your decisions wisely and strategically. Do you pick one of the Super Bowl favorites right away or hold on to them as long as possible? Do you want to take a chance on a potential cellar dweller in a potentially favorable matchup? Remember, you're out of the running for the grand prize once you lose a game.

Yes, still open. I haven't decided if I'll leave it open until Thursday or Sunday. I doubt anyone will use the seahawks or packers week 1 so I might just leave it open until Sunday morning.

D3PO · 04-09-2014 7:32am

pick made. 41 enteries should waaay more than the 20 you wanted !!

Vikings · 04-09-2014 2:08pm

Last Man Standing with a current pot of €160 - €10 entry fee. Makes it a little more interesting and some of the funds will go to support a local team (Rhinos)

Oat23 · 06-09-2014 8:44am

Currently have 47 entries! I'll be locking it tomorrow before the games begin so nobody can leave and rejoin if they lose in week 1

.

If we get to 50 entries someone manages to go all the way, I will award a prize*.

As a Redskins fan I should be happy with an eagles loss but they're my pick and I can't go out in week 1!

GoldFour4 · 07-09-2014 7:18pm

I'm the only one who took the Pats and that aint looking too good right now!

davetherave · 07-09-2014 8:09pm

Bears Bills game just started overtime. I can't seem to find any "Rules", what happens if it is a tie game?

phatkev · 07-09-2014 8:17pm

davetherave · 08-09-2014 11:44am

19 people out in week one thanks to the Bears losing to the Bills.
31 left standing.
