Post by Ryan »

Separate post to make sure everyone knows that they should keep answering throughout the postseason starting (hopefully but maybe not) next week. Good luck this week to all the playoff jockeyers.

SEASON-LONG REMINDERS

-Each week consists of 10 questions (5 sports, 5 not). The Swamper Bowl will have 20 questions.
-I'll post questions here and email them to the group. Make sure you DO NOT REPLY ALL if answering by email
-No Googling, No Doubt
-Answer every week, even when your NFL team has a bye

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
-If you're the only player with a one-pointer, you are credited with a score of -1
-Low score wins
-Weekly ties will be broken by best score in Q10, Q9, etc.
-Standings, tiebreakers and playoff matchups all determined exactly as they would be in the real NFL

INSTRUCTIONS

-Send answers to ryantfriedman (gmail, and don't forget the middle initial T) or private message here
-Unless you're giving something away by asking, bring up any questions or clarifications in the weekly thread so everyone can see the answer. I will NOT be emailing any important updates to questions that may affect answers, so it's on you to keep up before submitting

SCHEDULE

Image

ANSWERS DUE FRIDAY JANUARY 12th @ 12PM ET
