Third Annual Battle For The Crown Kickoff Weekend

AUTailgatingRules · « **on:** August 04, 2010, 12:17:58 PM »

In honor of the first day of practice I thought I would go ahead and post the first week of this, our 3rd year, of the "Battle for the Crown".

We are once again participating for bragging rights and a nice big bottle of Crown Royal Reserve. The rules will be the same as always. Make your picks each week and rank them in order of confidence from 1-10. Most weeks there will be 10 games (I may do more a couple times) and most weeks will have a bonus game (give this game a value 1-10 and it will either be added or subtracted from your total score). All picks must be made prior to kickoff of each weeks first game.

One slight new rule this year: You will be able to drop your lowest score from the first half of the season as well as your lowest score from the second half of the season.

I hate that you lazy motherfuckers don't arrange your lists in descending order for easy comparison.

I actually prefer that you don't but I've never been a prick about it. It makes it much easier if you leave them in the order posted.

Really?

My bad. I'll keeps it real in the future.

Descending order just makes more sense from my end, but I can see why it would fuck with the score keeper.

Mea culpa.

Like I said, no sweat. I really don't care either way as long as we have alot of folks playing. It just makes it easier to leave them in the original order. With 20 or so players it gets a little fuzzy looking at a bunch of different orders of games
