OK, I was going to make this thread a week or two ago, but I've just been busy. (Not that I'm not still busy, but I'm just throwing this out there, not going to elaborate any today... maybe this weekend.)
That said... If the interest is still there, I will host the PC weekly picks just like I did last season. I'd like to start early and establish a the ground rules before the season starts. Please wait until the initial rules are posted before making suggestions. I do have some ideas, just not putting them here until I review them. (I still remember some of the suggestions from last season, and I'll try to incorporate the ones that make sense.)
Most important in this post is tossing out one key idea... An OPTIONAL 1 million (prime) coin buy-in. Only those who buy-in will be eligible to "win" at the end of the season. I, personally, will NOT participate in that part of it. I was thinking 50% of the overall coin to #1, 30% to #2, and 20% to 3rd, but that will depend on how many actually participate. I might add in a 100k refund to anyone who buys in and has the full 256 picks at the end of the season. (Incentive to stick with it through the entire season.) I will hold the coins on one of my prime characters... Probably Gib or Kristianna. Lord knows I don't have any use for it... I'm pretty sure you all know I can be trusted. Those who buy-in will be marked in the spreadsheet with an asterisk next to their name so we all know A) who is in the coin pool, and B) how much that coin pool is. Also, I will require that anyone interested in the buy-in notify me BEFORE the start of the season, (That means the opening Thursday night game) and have the coins to me by the start of week 3. (I figure that's plenty of time to get in touch with me, I'll try to make myself available.)
Alright, just a preliminary post to get everyone geared up and ready.
I'm setting up a poll here, (Anonymous) to see what the interest in the coin buy-in idea actually is. Easier than asking you people to all post a reply.
