-Through W16, each set of questions will include 4 Swamper-submitted questions (2 sports, 2 other)
-All questions in W17 and the playoffs will come from me
-I'll post questions here and email them to the group. Make sure you DO NOT REPLY ALL if answering by email


SCORING

-Correct answers get a score equal to the number of people who said it
-Wrong answers get the value of the highest-scoring correct answer +5
-Low score wins
-Standings, tiebreakers, playoff matchups, all determined exactly as they would be in the real NFL


INSTRUCTIONS

-For your own questions only, you may "cheat" and submit any answer you want
-Send answers to ryantfriedman (gmail, and don't forget the middle initial T) or private message here
-From time to time, there will be discussion, clarification, questions, etc. in these threads. I will NOT be emailing any important updates to questions that may affect answers, so it's on you to keep up before submitting

Sorry for the sort-of-doubling-up on NYC and College Football questions. You can be assured I would not intentionally do anything to help those demographics.

And if he played, say, 2 more years like the last one, he'd have as many rushing yards as Demarco Murray.

Can I ask if Nascar Cup Series races go way back to the beginning of Nascar (does it just mean winners of top-level races?), or is that something else that was introduced much later.?

Cup Series is NASCAR's top level back to 1948. The Busch Series was formed in the 80s and the Truck Series in the 90s. So yes, it goes back to 1948 but does not count Busch or Truck wins. What a time to be alive.

Special annoucement - the 2020 Swampcrash Playoffs will be held at Canobie Lake Park. There are no hotels on property, but teams with a bye are welcome to stay on Castaway Island or, like, under the carousel or something. You'll have to hide though - they really don't want us there.

Sooo ... seeing this .. maybe in a future season, the outside submitted questions can have a designated zero score answer that the submitter can't pick themselves? So you see if someone can beat you at your own question?
