Jastrmerel Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 I went unbeaten in my survivor pool but so did two others. Instead of splitting the prize, we are going to a playoff system which is flawed. Single elimination (obviously) and we can only pick each team once; however, if we get to the Superbowl and have already picked both teams, it is a loss. Has anyone been in a league like this? What strategy would/did you apply? My gut tells me to just pick winners and worry about tomorrow, tomorrow... Thanks and Happy New Year!

Bonedaddies Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 (edited) weekend #1 just get to the next round, once there, you may want to look at who will/should advance. I would guess if you pick teams from the same conf. all of the way through, you should have a team to pick at the end??

That is a really good point...So if I think the Patriots are going to be favored against anyone in the Superbowl, I get through the first weekend of games, then just pick NFC games until the playoffs? Very interesting...thanks for the idea! Any others? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would guess if you pick teams from the same conf. all of the way through, you should have a team to pick at the end?? The only problem with this idea is that if u pick a winner and there is an upset in the other coference. Say for instance u pick all AFC teams. Well the Seahawks by some miricle make it to the Superbowl. U are then forced to Pick the Seahawks cause u already picked the AFC winner... I'm using this as an example but if u were able to determine the "weaker" division and choose all the winners. In a format like this u just have to try an not back urself into a corner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In one of our survivor leagues (2) people tied and we went to a tie breaker that was decided on before the year started I'm very surprised you guys didn't have one in place ? The one we used was total points of the last regular season game played. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MTSuper7 Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 If I were you, if this is a substantial amount of money on the line, I'd be inclined to contact the other two people who went undefeated through the regular season and propose some sort of split. Again, it depends on the stakes, but if I get $2,000 or nothing, I'm definitely sending a couple emails / texts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
