Foppa Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 Sounds intriguing. Might give it a go. Your idea, or has this format been used in the past? Quote Link to comment

I've played in one for about the last three years. One of my friends found it somewhere. Pretty interesting to watch unfold - especially with the extra four teams now. Quote Link to comment

Foppa Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 So you can pick any team between #5 and #8, etc., or it has to be a #5 and a #8. I think you're saying the former, but just wanted to be clear. Quote Link to comment

Foppa Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 I'm anticipating this may be popular, is there going to be a running total of everyone's scores, or is it just going to get totaled at the end? Quote Link to comment
Mavric Posted March 17, 2014 Author Share Posted March 17, 2014 I'm anticipating this may be popular, is there going to be a running total of everyone's scores, or is it just going to get totaled at the end? I've got a Google Doc set up that I'll link to when I get the entries in. I'll try to keep it updated as the games finish but for sure at the end of each day. So you'll be able to see the current scores and who has how many teams remaining. Quote Link to comment
