It's free, and it uses confidence points.

That's about all you need to know.

Use your WTFDetroit screenname as your team name if you want anyone to know who you are.

Fear Not... I have joined.

Thank you.

If no one else joins maybe we can cut to the chase and just arm wrestle or something.

I think this sets up a good rivalry between us.

Let the shit talking begin!

ok.....i'm in.

actuallyi'llprobablycomeinlast

I just want to participate:)

First time doing this[smilie=burgerking.:

Its fun. I would have won last year, but my first weeks were bad. After that I was only missing one or two games.

I didn't want to sign up right away and scare away the competition. I'll get in this today.

Actually, I wouldn't have won if Gecko hadn't forgot to pick one week.

Just to clarify, last year we just picked winners without confidence points, so this year the picks might require a bit more "skill" or at least more thought each week.

If anybody doesn't know what confidence points are, this is probably a good time to ask.

We're up to 9 participants.

what are confidence points?

Each week, there will be roughly 14-16 games.

You will be assigning a certain number of points to each of your picks, based on how confident you are in that pick.

For example, the game that you are most confident in would get 16 points assigned to it by you if there are 16 games. If you get that game right, you get 16 points in the standings. The game that you are the least confident in gets 1 point.

Does that make sense?

Edit: Here's the yahoo explanation, I guess I could have saved myself some time and just posted it in the first place.


Confidence Points are used to give a different weight to each game in a given week. You will assign a point value (from 1 to 15 if there are 15 games, 1 to 14 if there are 14 games, etc.) to each game based on how strongly you feel about the accuracy of your selection. If your selection is correct, you will receive points equal to the confidence-point value you associated with that game.

So, if you pick Pittsburgh to beat Dallas and assign the game a confidence point value of 15, you would get 15 points for a correct pick, but no points if Dallas wins. You do not lose points for an incorrect selection.

Each week's points will be tallied, and the player finishing with the highest total at the end of the year will be the winner of the group.

Each confidence point value may be used only once per week. So, during a 15-game week, after you have assigned 15 points to a game, your next highest available value is 14 points.

Ok, but can you put the same amount of points for the different games?

No. You must assing one game 1 point, and another game 2 points, and so on. I've played it both ways, so I'm fine with it either way.

Ok, sounds good to me.

I'm in too. :cool:

im in also. word.

It's D'sNuts...word.

after much fighting with yahoo, im in. orange vegas... roomie n i couldnt think of shit and i got some phat cerwins with the orange foam border so we decided to not try and think anymore cuz were drunk and didnt care and looked at the speakers. for the record ive never done any fantasy football so i hope i dont suck, but i probably will.

Last call to see if anyone else wants to join.

Also, a few of you haven't submitted your picks yet, and if you don't do so by tomorrow (before kickoff), you'll start week one with a big fat zero. And you don't want that.

Man did I fuck up the Monday Night games... I was in prime position to move up.

woohoo. at least i can say i was ahead for one week when all is said and done.

There are some mighty tough games this week.

Don't forget to get your picks in, guys.

The good news is that with confidence points you can come back even after missing a week of picks. There are 100+ points you can get a week instead of 16 without confidence. So you have a greater chance of catching up if you are behind.

13-2 this week so far.

yar.

*whew* looks like ill hold on for another week. its getting good though. now, how to sabotage glenn... :rolleyes:

What a great weekend for JS at 11-2.

Jay Sado knows his football.

LOL@MOLA for joining the league after week 3.

He's already tied with Matt.

i'm just giving you guys a head start..........uh yeah, that's it....

I'm the best that ever did it and got away with it.

So much for picking a few underdogs.

I usually try to pick 2-3 underdogs per week, just so it's not just going with the chalk.

Favorites went 13-0 this weekend.

well that sucks, I forgot to do it this week. Yahoo never emailed me like it was supposed to. I blame Yahoo. Screw this game.

YES! i finally made my picks........my plan is to hack into Yahoo and prevent all of you from making your picks for the next few weeks, while i catch up.

Dont worry, at the rate Im going :furious2: you will catch me

Looks like nobody is going to catch Vinny.

not when the Panthers choke away my chance to make up some ground.

Yeah lookin more like a race for second now, but maybe we could get lucky and catch the Vinmaster.

Maybe he'll get sick and forget to make his picks.


(Did I just say that?)

just lock him out for a week.

what's amazing is that he's only won a single week so far.
