    Out of curiosity: with 51 players we are bound to have some weekly ties (even with confidence points). Is there a tiebreaker to see who gets the extra box? Obviously a 3-way tie would result in all three getting one.

    Good question. We had only one tie last year with 41 people. There will be only one winner. We use the yahoo tiebreak defaults. I forget exactly what those are but they're pretty straightforward.

    I believe Yahoo has you pick points of two games for tie break instances

    Bigaltemple is correct. There are two games you guess the score for. I think the tiebreak is closest for combined score then it goes to closest for home and away or some bs like that. I'll post what it is when I sign up the league.

    I've already had some more interest, including some of last seasons winners, so I am opening this back up. However, the hard, hard limit will be 68 participants (I don't even know if yahoo supports that many players in a league). It looks like we have 55 right now. If we are able to get enough, then weekly winners will receive 4 boxes. If we are short of 68, leftover weekly boxes will either go to season winners or high weekly scores (determined as a percentage of possible points, since some weeks have more possible points than others). Once we have a definite number we will figure out the exact box scenario.

    Look like this is going to be a blast. Have you set up the league on line yet? Should we be logging in and joining yet?

    Jesus... I've been tagged in three different BIFs in the last week. I'll take a look at this one. It's a pickem with confidence points? Need to see how thin I'm stretched but not sure I can go a season without getting some off color and surly goodies from my boy @DooshBagalow!

    For motivation: Darkness is barrel-aged this year and there will have been at least one more new Off Color bottling by the time the season ends (might even be out before it kicks off).

    You're in. :wink:

    I sent out league info to everyone a minute ago. If you have trouble accessing the league, let me know. Please sign up with your BA handle as your Yahoo pickset name. We have 58 players as of now, with the following regional breakdown:

    NE - 12
    S - 12
    MW - 20
    W - 14

    Room for 10 more.
