3A Downlow Pick'em Game...2006 Edition (merged)

[Adidas410s]

OVERVIEW

- Teams can be 4-6 members. The "catch" is that you must have 1 poster from each region (either by residence or school affiliation) on your team. If unable to meet this requirement, you can appeal to me and Russ (the "league admins") to have your team approved or we can help you find somebody from another region to join your roster. If you want to have a team with less than 4 players...that will also be OK'd by Russ and me...just let us know in advance please.
- It would be nice to have people from different regions on the same teams so that you can “get to know” people from other areas of Texas. Plus, they might have more knowledge of a particular region than you would.

STRUCTURE

- Teams will pick 5 games each week. The first 4 games will be the "Region 1/2/3/4 GOW (as provided by LHPM)" and the 5th a wild card game of your choice. That game must involve at least 1 Top 25 team from Matt's list. You may earn additional points if your wild card game includes two teams from Matt’s Top 25 playing against each other.

An example of picks would look like this:

Region 1: Snyder 31 Monahans 28
Region 2: Gilmer 38 Celina 31
Region 3: Liberty Hill 28 Hutto 10
Region 4: Ingleside 35 Sinton 31
Wild Card: Wimberley 27 Abilene Wylie 14


SCORING:

1 pt for a correct pick
2 pts for a correct wild card pick
3 pts for a correct wild card pick if both teams are from Matt's Top 25
4 pts for an exact score pick of any game.
5 pts for an exact score wild card game pick if both teams are from Matt’s Top 25

If your picks are turned in AFTER the deadline...you will receive a 3 pt deduction off of your total score for the week. If the deduction puts your total score below 0, then you will be given 0 points instead of a negative score.

BONUS: Teams that have members from 4 different regions will receive a ONE-TIME 3 point bonus at the beginning of the season!!! One of the “side purposes” of this game (as I mentioned above) is to promote cohesiveness amongst downlow members across the state.

RESULTS
- They will be posted weekly (on Sunday or Monday) in the format below:
Wins…Losses…Win%...pts…% to actual score (i.e you guessed 45 pts scored by both teams...it was 50 ...you were 90% right).
- Points are the determining factor in who is winning the game.
- By having points determine the winner, it will "reward" those who played the game since the start since they SHOULD earn more points.

TIEBREAKER(S)
For a tiebreaker system (if needed) it goes wins...win %...and then % to actual score.

TEAM DEADLINES and OTHER RULES:

- Please have your team members (and nominate a team capitan) turned in to Russ and I before Monday, 5PM, August 28th. Provide us with a name for your team.
- Your picks will be due each Friday by Noon.
- If we have a week where a Game of the Week (or your wild card game) is on a Thursday night, you must turn in your picks by 5PM on Thursday.
- ONLY THE TEAM CAPTAIN CAN TURN IN PICKS AND THE FIRST COMPLETE SUBMISSION WILL BE WHAT WE ACCEPT. Obviously, if a pick is omitted we will contact you to have you include that as well.
- Please note that you can still signup after the first week but (obviously) you won’t earn any points for that week.
- Also, if you would rather pick as an individual instead of as a team, you may do so and your results will be posted under your downlow name.

I’m sure there are other things that will come up as we run this game. Remember, this is for fun and (like many other things downlow)...it's a work in progress, not an exact science. I hope everyone enjoys this game. I'm looking forward to it!:D

DISCLAIMER: This is in no way to be considered a means of gambling or wagering on high school athletics. There will be no exchange of money involved with the participation in this game. Should any such problems arise, inolved members will be punished by downlow administration to the fullest extent that the law allows.

So the game will not start until Week 1?

Isn't September 1st "zero week?" I didn't pull up a statewide schedule but I saw that Wylie's 1st game is Sept 1st and they always play on Week Zero. Also, the downlow countdown says 32 days to go...

[pirate4state]

Sounds like fun.

Yes, September 1 is Week 0. With picks due each Friday by Noon it seems you would want to have all the participant information prior to noon of the first week of the game.

[AggieJohn]

i will play, PM me if you would like to be included in my team...

Yeah. I was just thinking that in the first week they send me team info (or sooner if they wish) along with their first week of picks.

[Adidas410s]

so hopefully LHPM won't make that a "game of the week" since they aren't even playing a Texas team.

And..because of Thursday games that's why I included this little blurb:


- If we have a week where a Game of the Week (or your wild card game) is on a Thursday night, you must turn in your picks by 5PM on Thursday.

[Snyder_TigerFan]

Okay, but I'd suggest having all the info sooner.

What Region are you claiming??? Liberty is in region 3 correct? Are they still a 3A school? I'm too lazy to go look it up...

[Emerson1]

I'll play. THE Region 2

[Adidas410s]

sounds good. I'll change teams to be due on the Monday of that week. You've been running Kepball for years so you have a bit more experience at this than I. I helped tabulate Pig Picks a few years back...and that was exhausting.

It should be easier for you to have the team information entered before you have to start entering results, etc... Yes, it is a lot of working running one of these games. Have fun!

[neck_06]

i want to play.........anyone need a Region 3 member?

I am a region I free agent....I don't want to be a captain but would be a loyal teamate.

I gave you "sticky" love...just not immediately after you asked for it.

Well your team name is going to be "the High School Heroes"...that's an executive mandate. I'm sorry that Aaron chose to join your team cuz he's getting lumped into it! ;)

Your team name may change as other things pop into my mind...don't worry! :thumbsup:

[Big Papa]

so here is what i'm thinkin......

every week you throw in one of the top sixman games as a bonus...so basically the teams will have no idea nad have to guess, but in order to get the bonus points you have to guess the margin of victory within 10 points either way
ie. Highland (my school) v Aspermont
my pick Highland by 46 ...so if we beat them by 50 that is a correct pick good for some points




plus this gives a lil value over the zero percent i had before for the game:D :D :D :D

[Big Papa]

[Bullaholic]

Everybody who wants to play on a "pic em'" team needs to step up and "declare" themselves in open forum or in a PM to Adidas or BDR so they have an idea of the players available. Don't be shy---it's going to be a lot of fun between the teams with all of the ballyhooing and good-natured "trash" talk that will be going on, plus the board is going to have a lot more insight to more games as the season goes on. C'Mon down and declare your availability right now...........or better yet, pick your own players and form a complete team.

[Emerson1]

Will my team get a prize for winning?

yes...I will post them the Monday that we start. So far we are up to 5 or 6 teams....I forget off hand.

[Adidas410s]

ttt...

It was suggested that anybody that wants to play in the game that isn't on a team...well I can randomly put yall on a team so that we have more teams competing in the game. If you are interested in this idea, please make sure that your name is on the "free agent" list at the top of this thread. If it isn't then reply here that you are interested, include what region you would represent, and we'll get you on a team asap.

[LEROY]

I think this would be a blast. Put me on a team coach! Region 2

[Manck]

Throw in Manck-Region II since nobody decided to join in on the Out-of-State All-Stars...

[Gobbler Fan]

Put me on a random team Ill sail on this ship .

[bjrod9]

i was not mentioned on free agent poll, i am interested.

[Adidas410s]

alright guys...we have 11 and enough to make 2 teams of players from each region. I'll get the teams put together in the morning and then PM your team to each person on the team. This puts us up to 7 teams now. Thanks for joining all!

[Adidas410s]

yeah...yeah...I'm slacking. I'll get the FA teams put together tomorrow.

[Chris Hart]

I want in! Whomever gets lucky enough to land me as a pard, is a lock to win it all. I know everything, or at least I've been told i do....;)

[Chris Hart]

Am I going to be able to get in on a team?

[fury900]

If anyone needs a Region I player

[Adidas410s]

[Adidas410s]

Here are the 3 teams of "Free Agents" that I have put together. Each team will receive the 3 "bonus points" for having somebody from every region...thanks to some "wild cards" being given out! ;)

Remember, any team can have up to 6 players so one team can still add 2 players and the other team 1 player. I designated a "team captain" based on your # of posts. That person is listed in bold print. Please have your captain PM your team name so that I can include it in my team rosters. Let me know if you have any questions. Also, if anybody else is interested in playing, feel free to send a PM to a team captain that has an open slot on their team and they can let me know to add you to their roster.

Team 1
Sweetwater Red - R1
Tiger Baseball - R1
LEROY - R2
cdlvj - R3
footballgal - R4
Pmoney - R1

Team 2
Vet93 - R1
Manck - R2
Chris Hart - R3
Gobbler Fan - R4

Team 3
Bullaholic - R1
football4life - R1
Fury900 - R2 (by executive decision...Vernon's played plenty of R2 teams in the last 15-20 years! ;)
Big Papa - R3 (wild card)
bjrod - R4

[vet93]

.....I think Team 2 has some real talent this year!!;)

PM Bullaholic. It would be great to have a true Region 2 rep on his team since I put Fury900 from Vernon over there as a fill-in.

[LEROY]

Go ahead and give us the trophy!!!!!!!!

I would like to play too. So if anyone else wants to get another team together PM me.

I'm a Region I guy.

[District303aPastPlayer]

just wait til the full team lists are released

[vet93]

I guess great minds think alike....We have to come up with a team name...any suggestions...I was on a bowling team called the pinworms....or was the hookworms....anyway...I don't think that a worm type would be a good team name...

Also, if there are any errors in what I have listed, please have the team captain PM me so that I can correct any inaccuracies. 2 of the FA teams have yet to send me a name so they are listed as FA team #'s for now.

This week, there is a Thursday night game so for your picks to be accepted you MUST have them turned in to me by Thursday at 5PM. Here is what is written in the rules:

- If we have a week where a Game of the Week (or your wild card game) is on a Thursday night, you must turn in your picks by 5PM on Thursday.
- ONLY THE TEAM CAPTAIN CAN TURN IN PICKS AND THE FIRST COMPLETE SUBMISSION WILL BE WHAT WE ACCEPT. Obviously, if a pick is omitted we will contact you to have you include that as well.

You aren't a region 3 rep...I told them that and if they think you are they are mistaken. You are a region 1 person (along with injured) tigerpride_08 is your region 3 rep.

oh wait...let me insert some witty text before someone :weeping: about my post padding....

You must stay excited!! :evillol:

[Adidas410s]

Maybe it's just me...but I thought this was pretty clear:

STRUCTURE

- Teams will pick 5 games each week. The first 4 games will be the "Region 1/2/3/4 GOW (as provided by LHPM)" and the 5th a wild card game of your choice. That game must involve at least 1 Top 25 team from Matt's list. You may earn additional points if your wild card game includes two teams from Matt’s Top 25 playing against each other.

An example of picks would look like this:

Region 1: Snyder 31 Monahans 28
Region 2: Gilmer 38 Celina 31
Region 3: Liberty Hill 28 Hutto 10
Region 4: Ingleside 35 Sinton 31
Wild Card: Wimberley 27 Abilene Wylie 14

[Adidas410s]

I included it in the sticky...but wanted to post it here so that everybody sees it.

If your picks are turned in AFTER the deadline...you will receive a 3 pt deduction off of your total score for the week. If the deduction puts your total score below 0, then you will be given 0 points instead of a negative score.

I am adding this in because so far I have only received picks from one other team besides my team! That means that 7 of the 9 teams have yet to turn anything in. Also, that other team WAS the girls team...so we can't have this happening men!!! :mad:

[pirate4state]

We've had our picks ready since Monday, but I wanted to mull over a prediction before I sent it in. :D

Everybody is busy--especially Adidas, in trying to get all this together, so team captains "show some compassion" and get those picks in to him----believe it or not he has a job and schedules to keep also, and needs to get this done for all of us.

I was just curious as to whether or not Adidas410s or whoever is running the show, is going to post each team's picks in open forum prior to any games being played, so there will be none to question whether or not there is cheating/doctoring scores after they're played. I trust you guys, but being a part of a few of these type things, I can assure you if the picks of everyone are not made public PRIOR to the games being played, someone will eventually pull the cheat card. Just trying to help nip this problem in the bud before it arises. This may have already been addressed and I missed it. Just curious...:)

Yes I do plan to post them. I posted that earlier but the thread was merged into the sticky at the top. We are just waiting on one more team (Patagonian Giants - Emerson 1 captain) to turn in their picks. If I don't have their picks by 5PM....then I will post everybody's picks.

UPDATED: FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 1 9:31AM

Let me know if there are any errors in what I have written down. I still have your PM's with your picks so I can double check if needed.

On the wild card game:

- Dyslexia chose Cameron Yoe vs Austin LBJ
- Team Carter chose West Columbia vs Brazosport
- Patagonian chose Gilmer vs Las Vegas
- Every other team chose Wimberly vs Giddings

NOTE: This weeks points include the 3 pt "roster bonus" for the teams that earned it.

White

The Carolina Blue is hard to read.


How does the scoring work? Or should I know that by now?

[Bullaholic]

As team Cpt. I'd like to request a correction of our pick to Monahans-12, Snyder-7. Something must have gotten changed in our original reporting PM. Thank you. :D

[Adidas410s]

the vote is 2 to 0...works for me. White it is!

[AggieJohn]
