For Example:
Week 1 - I am sure New England will beat Miami. If New England wins, I move on to week 2, but I cant pick New England anymore.
If Miami wins, I am eliminated from this game.

Well, thats how I thought it was, until I lost on ESPN, and they I saw that there is actually a second chance pool, and if you win 5 weeks in a row, you get back in the main game.. so can it

i like the eliminator game..simple to pick a team and quite interesting planning ahead with picks...thanks jseadog
Don't want sound like an ass, but you don't seem to get the concept of the game if you picked Minnesota.
you can only pick a team once and i dont think the vikings will win many this year so got them out of the way against a team they can beat...and they did....what bit dont i get, i can only pick the vikings once...did..and they won???

Agree with the fact that Vikings have no future value, but to give you an example, the Jets don't either and they had a 70% probability of winning to 40% Minny. Bears didn't have too much future value either. It's ok pick Minnesota in the prediction game, but not in this one. You have to somehow balance future value with likelihood of winning and also popularity of the pick(not the case here).
I see that this is the first year you play this game. Take it as an advice, play underdogs only if you really have to. You got lucky this time. This doesn't mean you should pick safest option tho.

It's pretty funny that I'm in a league on ESPN with my fellow Romanian NFL fans and I also picked DAAA Bears but there was no second chance pool . Of course there are double elimination pools, but you stated perfectly clear that lose one game and you're out.
Also, it says that: "If an entrant's pick for that week loses its game, or entrant fails to make a valid selection for a given week, entrant will be credited with a "Losing Pick" and will no longer be eligible for a prize unless all remaining entrants make Losing Picks in the same week."

I know that it sucks to be eliminated in week one of the survival pool but that's the game.

It (nearly) always leads to bad situations if rules are suddenly changed without the chance for everyone to adapt his strategy.
I don't want to evaluate which rule is better and which one is worse as that change with everyone's personal opinion but it influence everyone's picks and so it should be clear from the beginning which set of rules are used.
E.g. I would (definitly) not chose the team I picked now for week 2 if there was no "Second chance pot".
Just my two cents.

Great day for me. My risky pick (Washington) in the elimator challenge came through and I got some points over every participant that was better in the first week.

*cough cough* Wow, should've known this wasn't a team to trust for eliminator
So what do I have to do now, pick 5 times in a row to get back in??

The great Skip Bayless predicted a 15-1 season for Seahawks with their only loss coming at San Diego. Him being right should be even more laughable! |
