My Little Pony: Friendship is Football

Hello fellow hoofball fans!!

 

The 2016 NFL season is going to be underway here again soon, and with that comes the annual Canterlot Pick'em Competition. This years rules will be based on the number of entries we receive into this friendly competition. Most of the rules for the competition will remain the same, and the rules for this year are as follows:

 

  • All entries for each week must be submitted before Kickoff for the Thursday night game. (This includes the Sunday games)
  • Only entries posted in this thread will be considered valid entries.
  • With the exception of the thursday game, All players will be allowed to change up to 4 picks a week on Friday or Saturday.
    • All edits must be made to original entry and must be stamped as edited.
    • This topic will close Every Sunday morning at 12:01 AM and will be re-opened on Tuesday morning to allow for the next weeks picks.
  • Every win will be worth 20 points. If a player picks 5 wins correctly, they earn a bonus 60 points, and if they pick 10 correctly, they get an additional 100 points. A perfect weekend is a flat 600 points*.
  • There will be a secondary standing that will be comprises of W-L's as points will not always reflect such accurately.
  • If we have 8 or more players, (including myself) there will also be a head-to-head battle each week where players will randomly be paired against another within the competition. The one that picks the most wins that week wins. A head-to-head win is worth 80 points, and a tie is worth 40 points. This will also have a W-L bracket as well as a playoff round. (Tiebreaker will be the record against that opponent in previous weeks. Somewhat like how divisional records are used in the actual play-offs.
  • in the event of head-2-head there will be the Canterlot Conference and the Crystal Conference.  Celestia and Luna will be divisions in the Canterlot Conference and Twilight and Cadence will be in the Crystal Conference. All divisions must have an equal amount of players. in the event that this cannot be so, condensing will occ
  • The play-off bracketing for head to head will follow the same
  • In the event that players drop out after the head-to-head is establishes by ceasing to post picks, I will randomly select picks for a "blank participant" so that players don't gain an unfair advantage by facing an opponent that no longer exists.
  • All updates will be posted in this post on Tuesdays following the Monday Night Game.

 

*Only weeks with 14 or more games will qualify for the Perfect Weekend Bonus.

Just now, riverhippo said:

deal me.  I want to be in the Applejack division.

 

That would probably be under the Twilight Division. I kinda based everything off of the princesses. since Applejack is considered part of Twilight's Counsil, she'd be in the Twilight division. Sound good?

I have added both of you into the game, and I have also completed the spreadsheet for the standings that I will be using. Depending on the number of players, I might also use this to determine Head-To-Head Schedules as well.

Hehe, you're welcome to join and play if you'd like! I can add your name in and with that I could make two bots so that we could still do the vs part. Just make sure to have your picks in before kick off on Thursday!
