    I will be sending a new message to everyone who has volunteered to ship to Katz. And in that message, he can give his address, style preferences. And whether or not he wants a picture of rex ryans wifes foot as a swag item.

    I'm in for sending 2 boxes and resetting the league. Just need to know which NFL team swag @katznotdogs wants.

    Sidebar: I'm in a $25 survivor pool with just under 700 entries. Around $17K for the winner. Going into week 3 there are under 50 left. Crazy!

    Deal! Just make sure the photo is clearly labeled and mail to Exra Yanra, 1 Bills Drive, Buffalo NY. No questions asked...

    I see that too. I'm guessing/wondering if they were 'out' for the second round of games. I'm guessing even if not, they are now, ha

    For the life of me, I can't understand why people got all weird about it and said they were out. There were originally supposed to be 10 spots paid. Since people volunteered to send Katz his winnings, it made sense to start the pool over. All those people who said they were out were still eligible for 2nd-10th place. So what happens now that people are out? I'm guessing # of winning spots and boxes to each winner may need to be adjusted.

    There were folks like me who were travelling and not really paying attention to the BM who made their pick in the 'Deux' pool. Not sure how many, but i replied to the BM earlier (after games started and i went in to check who everyone else had picked) and @dannyfayy me tioned he'd edit my pick later... may e that's what happened to more people?

    @richkrull I know who you are referring to, he choose to not partake in the "reset". I assigned him to ship to Katz, and someone else took his spot as the 66th participant. So all payouts should remain the same. There hasn't been anyone else who chose to not participate In the reset, that I know of.

    I think a lot of people that showed "not picking a team" made their choice on Tuesday under "part deux". And just never logged back on. As @HoppySeb mentioned. I will adjust those choices. And those members will receive a message tomorrow. Just reminding them to make their choices under the original survivor pool. And I will go in "part deux" and remove everyone.

    2 points, just for complete clarity once again since there seems to be a number of people who didn't see previous posts in this thread.

    1. Since we did a reset, you CAN use the two teams you selected in weeks one and two once again going forward.
    2. We are using the ORIGINAL league site for making/tracking picks as it has been reset. Please ignore the Part Deaux league.

    Thanks John
    Yes. You CAN use the teams you used in the first 2 weeks (who wants the Saints ??? What a dumpster fire !!).
    And yes.. we are back to the original league site. Part Duex will soon be deleted (or I will just kick everyone out of it).

    2 Quick notes. Some people were traveling and never saw the new post that we were back to the original site. Those BA's are: @HoppySeb, @funhog, and @HopDropTheElder . They did make picks on the "Part duex" site, and those 3 were all correct. I have re-invited them to the new site. And asked they use "ba_name2." Just so everyone is aware, and I don't get a ton of messages saying "he was already eliminated." It'll be an honor system going forward for them to not select the same team (funhog and Hopdroptheelder had Seattle, and Hoppyseb had Carolina).

    As for the others who didn't select on either of the sites. Unfortunately, there is nothing I can do at this point. I sent mass BM's (rather than tagging everyone) to everyone so they would at least get a notification via email.

    I guess I should have made sure my new plan to add them to our league worked first before I posted that.

    Scratch this previous post. Those 3 members cannot join the original group since the season has started. So they will continue to pick in "part deux". And I will post their picks on here for everyone to see. #firethecommissioner!!

    What happens if someone wins part duex league but the other is still going? Will it still allow them to continue to make picks?

    Pretty sure it allows you to pick until you, even if only 1 is left....

    Same here. Worried about the O-line injuries, but Cleveland is garbage.
