the teams reset for the playoffs, but I actually think it should only go on for the first two weekends when there are 4 games and you'll have plenty of choices
When it gets down to the Final Four (even before) you have to start worrying about who's winning the SB or even the league championship games. I think the Patriots are playing the Cowboys in the SB, means I shouldn't pick those teams early in the playoffs lest I be left without a choice in the later rounds
We're all just talking out loud here. Remember, any changes to the established format requires unanimous consent from all remaining teams
I'll also mention payouts in the event of a tie if there are multiple teams remaining. Everything will be prorated
Let's assume there are 5 teams left, two with no strikes and three with one strike. That's a total of seven strikes
The unbeaten teams split the last unbeaten payout
The 1st, 2nd and 3rd place payouts will be combined. The two teams with no strikes get 2/7 of the payout, the other three teams get 1/7

Haha, liar
Two unbeaten teams remain, another 6 teams with one loss
Last unbeaten spot is worth $ 1,500
The Saints burn me, and a lot of other people, yet again. There are a few trends that have burned me over the years, amazing how the same teams do the same shit to me
New Orleans as a big favorite at home
Denver as a big favorite at home
Tampa Bay as a big dog on the road

Get Wiz to agree, and I'll send $ 750 to both parties
If you want it this week, has to happen by Wednesday night, Thursday morning I leave for the Bahamas for 5 nights. I won't do electronic transfers using WiFi

Willie99,
Just so I can build a strategy down the home stretch, how would the payout work if the contest ended today?
Franco and wizardofodd split first place and second place prize as well as last unbeaten? From there the 6 of us with one strike would split $750 3rd place or would we get no payout since we have one strike ?
thanks, hopefully you understand what I’m saying. I’ve just never done a two strike pool before so just want to clarify

There are two people with 2 strikes remaining (the last two unbeaten teams) and 6 people with 1 strike remaining. That's a total of 10 strikes remaining, which coincidentally makes my math easy
1) The two unbeaten teams split the last unbeaten pot of $ 1,500, they get $ 750 each.
2) I would then take the 1st, 2nd and 3rd place payouts, a total of $ 13,500, and allocate that based on strikes remaining. The two teams with 2 strikes remaining get 20% each, the other 6 teams with 1 strike remaining get 10% each.
3) Two strikes remaining receive $ 2,700 each, one strike remaining receives $ 1,350 each.
The two teams with two strikes remaining receive a total of $ 3,450 each, the other six teams receive $ 1,350, a total of $ 15,000
Before I modify any payouts, every team remaining in the hunt would have to provide unanimous consent. That means all eight teams would have to agree. One person says no, original payout plan remains intact
This post is in response to a question asked, and is for discussion purposes only. There has been no proposals made, there is no vote to be had save for the last two unbeaten teams splitting the $ 1,500 pot (that vote involves those two teams only)
