    Yes, rules are most unique scores by the All-Star break wins.

    That means most unique scores from say.. 60-130? We're not interested in hitting the 0-9 endings at all now?
    Do duplicates have any value or are they just a waste of a game pretty much?
    sorry for all the questions

    No problem about the questions, would rather everything be clear, so no disputes at payment time. 0-9 is out (despite the title of the thread.) Just most unique scores, your score could be lower than 60 or higher than 130 and still qualify. Duplicate games are wasted.

    alright thanks.
    My next question (yes, I know, another one, sorry) is about the payouts... (Did I miss this post or something??) you say most unique scores by All-Star break wins, is that for the entire league? how are you doing it? and then what about at the very end of the season, how does that work? the time after the All-Star break and the end of the season?

    Two different "seasons" Half the league pays out at the all-star break and other half pays at the end of the season. You keep the same teams throughout the season, so any benefit/penalty for placing less games by All-Star break will turn into a penalty/benefit for the second half of the season.

    and how do you determine who ships the first half and who ships the second half?

    Teams who finish in the bottom half ship first. There is a wrench in that those with two teams are guaranteed to ship to the same receiver, so not guaranteed to be exactly the bottom half, but that is the basis I am working off.

    Here is my approach...
    1. Possibly pay slightly more attention to the Bucks this year (partially because they are clearly much better)
    2. Watch this thread, talk some shit, look for an opportunity to throw out a mini BIF
    3. Wait for All Star Break
    4. Ship beer when @Syracuse12 tells me to

    That sounds like a solid plan. Just remember the main rule here: watching the games is prohibited.

    Just tell me who and when to ship beer. We trust you to figure it all out for us.

    So, if I read it right, everyone ships beer once (unless you win both halves, which I'm planning to do). If you ship first half, you don't ship second half, not matter what your placement is; correct?

    I have no idea what teams I have, but I'm sure I'm kicking ass!

    You are correct. You only ship once. Pretty much everyone is guaranteed to ship, but no one will need to ship more than once (excluding LIFs.)

    The handy dandy spreadsheet will tell you how you are doing, and it is updated nearly everyday. Commence trash talking. I'll start.

    Your team is so lame they will score the exact same point total every game. (ok, might be hard to trash talk this BIF)

    as a shout out to @cal1207, the first team to score the same total in 3 consecutive games gets a box from me... it might be a slow box depending on when it hits... it'll have beer in it though.

    Your LIF will be known as the "Connect Three" LIF.

    @hansenm72 I'm not sure of the odds on that but I hope it happens. 102 points away! Lol

    Unbelievably, this was hit last night by @nathanmiller and his Rockets. 104 three times in a row. Insane.

    EDIT: I'm glad to see beer karma going his way after helping me with the spreadsheet.

    Not too good for our overall standings, but certainly good for the @hansenm72 LIF.
