Survivor and Pick Em League Open
I've set up leagues for an NFL Survivor and Pick Em game. I also have some sots open in my head to head league. If anyone is interested, let me know and I will send you the login info to register.

Re: Survivor and Pick Em League Open
In a Pick 'Em set up, you pick the winner of every game for the week and assign confidence points for each game. If you are really certain a team will win, you assign a high number of points, less certain gets a lower number of points. For each game you get right, you get the points you assigned - highest number of points at the end of the season wins.Bob78164 wrote:Survivor?

In a Survivor set up, you pick the winner of one game that week. If you are right, you survive until the next week. If you are wrong, you get a strike. Two strikes and you're out. The catch is that you can only pick a team once during the season. The last person standing is the winner

Assigning confidence points is too much work for me, but I'd be interested in a Survivor game. --Bobkroxquo wrote:In a Pick 'Em set up, you pick the winner of every game for the week and assign confidence points for each game.

Re: Survivor and Pick Em League Open
I run both leagues through Yahoo. If interested, go to yahoo fantasy sports. The group number for the pick 'em is 17236, for the survivor is 8097. The password for both is billbergey

Re: Survivor and Pick Em League Open
Towards the bottom-right side of the fantasy football page is a section labeled "other links."
It includes:
http://football.fantasysports.yahoo.com/pickem and http://football.fantasysports.yahoo.com/survival
Those appear to take the provided information, but I got messages (on both) that there is an issue with the group number or password.

Re: Survivor and Pick Em League Open
I have done the Pick Em contest several years and hope to this year. I look forward to the survivor league. Those are always fun. Thanks for setting them up.

Re: Survivor and Pick Em League Open
Not sure what the problem was but I've changed the password on both to Jaworski. The group numbers should be right.

Re: Survivor and Pick Em League Open
Um, clueless.
I don't think either of these are the league I played in the last few years.
But I do want to play Fantasy Football this year. Husband1111 are going to have to do it without help from Son1111 I think.

I'm in for both after using the separate link for each game and the new password that worked for both. First game is Thursday. Woo hoo!

Re: Survivor and Pick Em League Open
Are there prizes in the Yahoo leagues? I'd like to try again this year, as long as I don't have another stroke half way through the season again.

Re: Survivor and Pick Em League Open
I'm in. You shouldn't have any trouble determining which team is mine in both games. (If you said "WhoIsMark", you're qualified to be the next governor of Texas.)

Re: Survivor and Pick Em League Open
I'm in but I don't recognize too many names in the pick 'em. Last year we had this group:
1 TClark45 1468 174-81
2 The Boneheads 1404 162-93
3 LB's Evil Squirrels 1399 160-95
4 Rainbow Donkeys 1395 160-95
5 Shameless Weasel 1369 150-105
6 Vandalians 1338 156-99
7 MarkBarrett 1315 158-97
8 kusch 1298 147-108
9 Skippy 1235 149-106
10 andrewjackson 1115 134-121
11 earendel 897 115-140
12 Hoosier Daddies 674 77-178
13 Im_Ace 359 43-212
Where are you people? The group was always WWTBAM and the password was kissuranus, thanks to Ace.
Perhaps I am in the wrong group. Skippy? Can you hear me?
