rickctroop13 Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 (edited) Never did a cointest before, so I'll make my first one simple for me. Created a 'for fun' Yahoo Survival pick em league. All are welcome, no stakes to play. I'll send a coin of my choosing from what happens to be in my collection at end of season to winner. I'm playing, so in case by some miracle I win the survival, coin will go to 2nd place. One entry per cacher, please!

rickctroop13 Posted August 10, 2009 Author Share Posted August 10, 2009 (edited) Oh yeah, set it to be a 3-strike group to keep everyone around a bit... In event of a tie, I'll use a first week playoff game, correct winner & closest to total points (winner+loser) to decide winner. Edited August 10, 2009 by rickctroop13 Link to comment

+sterni2009 Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 could you please explain to me what I have to do at this cointest? I do not understand... Link to comment
rickctroop13 Posted August 10, 2009 Author Share Posted August 10, 2009 could you please explain to me what I have to do at this cointest? I do not understand... Cointest involves joining the Yahoo league at above link. The league is a contest where you pick the winner of one of the weekly NFL (American professional football) games. You pick a team each week for as long as you pick winners. Complete rules are on the Yahoo Survival Football site. Winner is player who gets furthest in season without 3 wrong picks. Link to comment

rickctroop13 Posted August 11, 2009 Author Share Posted August 11, 2009 (edited) A note to all who haven't done Survival before and didn't dig deep into the Yahoo rules- You may only use a team once for the season, so pick with your head not your heart unless your fave is a no brainer that week! As you pick teams, they are not available to pick for future weeks. Edited August 11, 2009 by rickctroop13 Link to comment

Cross your fingers that he sticks with me in this and I don't frustrate him too much! I thought this would be a great thing for us to do together. Thanks for the cointest! Link to comment

+Ashallond Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 Couple of results I didn't expect this week. That was one of them. Good thing my second pick was a win as well. Packers and San Diego claimed a few victims today, and Dallas losing may claim one more.... Link to comment
