***Geek Club Playoff Game 2008***

[ZeroTolerance 584]

Playoff teams are set, time to start!

 

Last year's champ: GettnHuge

 

Each entrant must fill out a roster of 2 QBs, 2 RBs, 2 WRs, 2 TEs, 2 Ks, & 2 D/STs using one player maximum from each of the 12 playoff teams (you cannot pick 2 players from, for example, the Colts). You will carry that roster for the entire playoffs with the total points accumulated deciding the winner.

 

With that in mind, the strategy is to select players whose team you expect to advance farthest in the playoffs (thus playing more games and having more opportunities to score fantasy points) at the positions which traditionally produce the highest scores (i.e. you probably wouldn't want to select a RB from a team you expect to be eliminated after one game).

 

The scoring system will be as follows:

 

1 pt per 25 yds passing

1 pt per 10 yds rushing

1 pt per 10 yds recieving

4 pts per passing TD

6 pts per rushing TD

6 pts per recieving TD

2 pts per two-pt conversion (passing/rushing/recieving)

-2 pts per INT

-2 pts per fumble lost

 

1 pt per XP

3 pts per FG up to 39 yds

4 pts per FG of 40-49 yds

5 pts per FG of 50+ yds

 

6 pts per D/ST TD

1 pt per sack

2 pts per INT

2 pts per fumble recovery

2 pts per safety

-2 pts per D/ST fumble lost

8 pts for total points allowed 0-6

6 pts for total points allowed 7-13

4 pts for total points allowed 14-20

2 pts for total points allowed 21-27

 

- Points will be counted after each individual game (i.e. if Tomlinson rushes for 87 yds in the division playoffs and 103 yds in the AFC Championship, he will recieve 8 pts and 10 pts, not 19 pts for the combined 190 yds)

- Touchdowns scored on special teams or defense will be awarded to that D/ST unit, not to individual players.

 

Each entry must select one of it's players to act as a tiebreaker. If two or more teams are tied, final standings will be determined by the highest scoring tiebreaker player (total points scored by that player for the playoffs) on the tied entries.

 

Submit your roster to this thread in the following format (example):

 

QB - P. Manning (Indianapolis)

QB - Brady (New England)

RB - Tomlinson (San Diego)

RB - L. White (Tennessee)

WR - Burress (NY Giants)

WR - Owens (Dallas)

TE - Cooley (Washington)

TE - A. Smith (Tampa Bay)

K - Reed (Pittsburgh)

K - J Brown (Seattle)

D/ST - Jacksonville

D/ST - Green Bay

 

*Make sure to highlight the player you selected as your tiebreaker (use bold, italics, arrows, hell you can use bananas for all I care as long as it is noticeable)

 

If you wish to change your roster after entering it, do not edit your original entry post, simply make a new reply pointing out that you wish to change your entry and what lineup you wish to submit in its place. This thread will be locked 1 hour prior to kickoff of the first playoff game and a new thread for discussing the game will be created.

[Let Da Big Dog Eat 40]

I'm in, but wouldn't it be better if we just sent entries to you rather than post them? Or, have to post shortly before the first PO game?

 

Thanks for running this.

[Me_2006 14]

I'm in too. Don't really want to put my lineup out there yet though. I'm with Big Dog on sending them to you or posting right before. Someone call Ravens03 and have him lock the thread so people can't change it, since FFtoday doesnt say when a post has been edited.

Count me in!

 

Hope the moderator locks this in.

1 hour prior to kickoff of the first game on Saturday (3:30 PM EST). At that time I will record all entries as they appear in the thread, which will negate any attempts to edit rosters after games have started.

Looks like we'll be co-champs.

[sawilson 1]

Still trying to decide on my team. But I think it probably would have been a good idea to email the teams instead of posting them here.

Alright, so far all teams are legal (aside from the guy who doesn't play TEs) though a few need to pick a tiebreaker. Reminder that rosters are locked in at 3:30 PM EST. I will be recording all rosters as they appear at that time.
