RFU Survivor Game
Basic Rules: Pick a team to win straight up each week. If your team wins, you stay in the game. You can never pick the same team twice.
------
More details:
We will play with a Winners Round and a Consolation Round.
Each week you pick a team to win straight up, if your team wins you stay in your round. If you are in the Winners Round and your team loses, you move to the Consolation Round. If you are in the Consolation Round and your team loses, you are out of the game.
A tie game counts as a win, since the team you picked didn’t actually lose.
You can never pick the same team twice, even if you survive to the play-offs.
Picks are to be posted in this thread PRIOR to the game your pick plays in.
For example – if the team you are picking plays Thursday night at 5:00pm PST, you must have your pick posted in this thread by Thursday at 5:00pm PST. We will use the time stamp on the posts in this thread as final.
You can change your pick as much as you like prior to the start of the game your pick is playing. However, to maintain the integrity of the game, do not edit your post and please make a new post with your new pick. Your latest pick will be used as long as your previous picks' game hasn't started.
If you make a duplicate pick, that is a loss. If you don’t get a pick in by the time that team plays, that is a loss. You can always pick a team from any games remaining if you have those teams available.
If you make it to the play-offs and don’t have any play-off teams to pick, that is a loss.
If every single player in any round picks a losing team the same week, they all stay in as no one won.
In the event of anything not addressed here, I will make a fair ruling in keeping with the integrity of the game.

The winner of both the Winners Round and the Consolation Round will get a sweet little prize including an RFU Survivor Game 2017 trophy. (eventually.....I'm behind on this).

If you want to play, all you need to do is post your pick before that game Week 1. Anyone who has posted a pick for Week 1 is in the game.
You can also post here that you want to play so that I can get the chart set up in advance.
