2020 NFL 3 Strikes Challenge! (Over)

PokerFace · Post Post #25 (ISO) » Sun Sep 13, 2020 9:27 am

Might need to clarify what happens if no player survives as in all remaining players all go down on same week. Though I wouldn't expect this rule to come into play

(Says the guy who said the same thing about ties week 1 last year)

I say this every year but the current rules on tie games are terrible and need to be revised.

If you didn't pick a winner, then you should get a strike.

I know the past two years we’ve continued with the last-eliminated players (4 Strikes) but that’s been more of a gentlemen’s agreement between the two remaining people. But we only did that because the consecutive correct pick streak also resulted in a tie, in theory if either player dissented we would have just called the game a tie.

I guess that would solve scenarios where we had more than one player go down to end the game. I think only time we came close to this was when i won in 2014 since we almost had the final 3 all go down at once

Hell yeah

The only way this could have resolved better is if it was Green Bay instead of Chicago

I strongly agree with this. Like as it is the ruleset is very contradictory when you contrast the rules on ties with like the first two sentences of the rules. Ties are not winning picks and the objective of the game is clearly to pick a winning team.

Since this is 3 strikes and not eliminator I think ties should be counted as losses.

D3f3nd3r · Post Post #34 (ISO) » Tue Sep 15, 2020 7:37 am

I’ll go

Bills

for Week 2. Will post week 1 standings in an hour or so.

I’m fine changing it to count ties as losses since that seems to be the consensus. Speak now or forever hold your peace if you’re opposed.

Not a great start for most of us! Will things get better this week?

midwaybear · Post Post #37 (ISO) » Tue Sep 15, 2020 9:00 am

Looks like I'm starting with a strike.

Packers

, expecting them to keep rolling.

Chicago Bears

I don't care what we count ties as since they not happen often. This why I liked new tie breaker rule since it punished ties

Only thing I cared about is I thought ties should end streaks. I don't care if they count as strikes or not

Going with Packers for week 2

, lions lost to bears and GB looked really good week 1

I make all my tough picks early so I can just jam a bunch of good teams the last six weeks and be in very little danger!

I felt the hardest match to pick last week was CAR and LVR. This week I think its MIN and IND

midwaybear · Post Post #48 (ISO) » Thu Sep 17, 2020 1:27 pm

Browns-Bengals is also a little tough to call, but yeah Vikings-Colts also seems close. I do think the Vikings win too.
