Swampcrash 2020 - Week Five

Post by Ryan »

NO GOOGLING

SEASON-LONG REMINDERS

-Each week consists of 10 questions (5 sports, 5 not). The Swamper Bowl will have 20 questions.
-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

Might be the first question I've been 100% sure on every answer, which means I will inevitably overthink it and pick the most popular.
