2014 Blowout Pick'em League

[pskell02]

Here we go again! This will be year number 6 of our Blowout Fantasy Pick'em league! The league will be hosted on Yahoo and it will be a cumulative score league. Winner takes all if we have less than 20 teams (details below)! See the last 5 years leagues for an: Year 5 (How the hell did Nick get a Win? (http://www.blowoutcards.com/forums/other-fantasy-league/564213-2013-blowout-pickem-league.html)) Year 4 (My Picks Sucked (http://www.blowoutcards.com/forums/other-fantasy-league/350706-2012-blowout-pickem-league.html)) Year 3 (The Year of The Corbin (http://www.blowoutcards.com/forums/other-fantasy-league/188057-2011-blowout-pickem-league.html)) Year 2 (BO Pick'em Leauge $$ (http://www.blowoutcards.com/forums/other-fantasy-league/85217-2010-blowout-pickem-league.html)) Year 1 (Suck it Nick (http://www.blowoutcards.com/forums/other-fantasy-league/36775-bo-pickem-leauge.html)).

Entry fee is $21

We have no cap on the number of teams. More teams equal more prize money! 1 entry per person. Attempts to register multiple teams will result in your disqualification.

If we get at least 20 players, we will have a weekly prize of $20 for whomever has the most correct picks for that week. Any ties will carry over to the next week and a winner will be determined based on that weeks scores.

Quick breakdown saying we have 20 people:

20 players x $20 = $400 pool
17 weeks = 17 winners @ $20 each = $340
Overall winner takes home $60 that is left over from the weekly prize pool.

If you want to join, post here and submit payment to pskell02@yahoo.com and include your BO name in the description.

Cutoff date will be September 3 @11:59p. Late entries will be allowed, but you will be handicapped in the overall standings by missing the first week(s).

I will keep a running list of players and winners here in this thread so if you sign up and don't see your name, pm me with your details so I can correct it.

Thread is updated with the new signups and payments. Everyone has joined the league so far, only 3 outstanding payments due. Prize pool will be up to $460 once those come in.

Always looking for new competitors! Come on people, it's only $20 to join!

[FINS4LIFE]

Maybe you should move it to the regular "BLOWOUTS Fantasy Football League" page. It's sort of hidden in the secondary page. Might draw more into joining.

[jbmets95]

I was gonna say the exact same thing...

put this in the regular football and within 24 hours i bet atleast 10 new additions

Updated the list with new members and payments. Also moved the thread to the main Fantasy section.

Prize pool is up to $500!

[xbignick]

I'm dumb so question: Say there's a 3-way tie in Week1. As you said moves to Week2, does Week2 become a $40 prize pool for an overall winner or $20 to one of those three with the best record for the tie and $20 to the new week's winner?

last year it was $20 to the one of those 3 with the highest score, and $20 to the new week winner

Nope the tie carries over and only those guys can win the weeks prior money. If they then tie again it carries over to the week after that and so on lol....it's happened a few times each year

[armyatc22]

I know you said the $400 was the main goal for the payouts and such but if we go over enough what's the thought on getting one NFL promo spot to add to the winner of the overall season? They win the Box and any winnings that spot possibly could win

[pskell02]

Member list is updated. Looks like we still have 3 outstanding payments.

That is an interesting idea. I will keep the promo in mind for next season. It's probably too late at this point to change the prize setup.

[xbignick]

Just paid and joined. Trying to figure it out since since it froze when I tried to change my timezone to EST.

Not sure if we need to fill out the tie-breaker but did anyway just in case.

[Borst]

I'll join and pay this evening after work

[pskell02]

All updated. We are up to 29 people!

If you are interested in joining, please do so soon! Season starts in 5 days!

[rf1214lf]

I'm in as well just paid.

wouldn't be too hard to do....1st $340 goes to the weekly winners ($20 x 17 weeks)...$200 to buy the promo slot...total needed being $540....

could envision it to be the winner of the whole thing gets the box from the promo + any entry money that is more than $540...(for example if 30 people joined, thats a total of $600, so the overall winner would get $60 minus shipping the box)

Any money won from the promo player would either split amongst everyone or would be a group break.....

hmmmm...could be really interesting...would probably have to limit it to 32 people thought to make the group break part easier...

No Phil I think the winner of the League should get the box and any prizes that could possibly be won puts that aspect of winning more on top of the winning each week

Working on getting the list updated now. Not sure if I mentioned this in past years, but I go to Vegas every fall from the last week of August to around the 10th of September for a conference my company runs. Been a lot busier than past years and haven't gotten to be on the forum as often as I would like.

Any last minute participants still have time to get in!

[pskell02]

Ties for weeks 6 and 7 have been resolved. Week 8 goes to Amb012 and there is currently a 2 say tie for week 9. Pending tonights results, that will likely carry over to week 10. Sending out payments for the last 3 weeks now.

Unless MNF is interesting, should be a big tie.

[pskell02]

Sorry for the delay in getting this updated. Payments are being sent to Borst, glen87, and Jbmets95 for weeks 10-12. We have a large group tied for week 13, so that will likely carry over to next week.

Week 15 - bigbadbob

We are down to the final 2 weeks! Amb012 has pulled ahead by 6 picks. Looks like it is his prize to lose. Can Bob or Mike overtake him?!? We shall find out.

One thing to note, iBLeeDBaTTLeReD never paid for the league and didn't make any picks. He has been removed and will not be able to join any future Pick'em leagues that I host. The $20 entry from him has been removed from the prize pool, bringing the winning prize down to $480 :(
