    This was pretty fun last year so I'd like to get it going again for the 2014-2015 NFL Playoffs. It will consist of 12 BA members (one being myself) where we will blind draw for draft positions and draft one team for the entire playoffs. Boxes are awarded each round with a special bottle prize to the Super Bowl winner at the end of the BIF. Here are the details:

    Team Selection: I will compose a list of the first 11 BA users who BM me (please include your email address for the random drawing!!!) that they would like to participate in the BIF. Once we have 12 teams, I will use a random list generator to acquire an order where we will draft our teams from. If you are the first team on the random list, you have the first pick and so on.

    Matchups: I thought in order for people to have a better chance at winning boxes, we do head to head matchups for each Round. For example, in the wildcard matchup between the #3 NFL seed and the #6 NFL seed, if you are the team owner of the winning team, you win a box from the losing team owner and advance to the next round. So if your team is a #3-#6 seed in the playoffs you have a chance at winning 4 boxes. The #1 and #2 seeds have a chance to win 3 boxes since they are going to be more favored to advance to the further rounds. If you lose, you send your opponent (1) box and the Super Bowl winner (1) bottle.

    The Beer: 80oz minimum of good quality, local/not widely distributed beer that you enjoy drinking. You may add anything that you deem more worthy than a local beer if you wish, but that is at your discretion. The Super Bowl winner will receive (1) brewery only/limited distro bottle rated 95 or higher.

    The good thing about this BIF is you have a chance to win up to 4 boxes, but only risk losing one box and one bottle. I would like to have this open to people with a trading history or at least some good references only.

    Ok, thanks for all the replies. This one is all locked up. If someone wants to run a separate pool using my format feel free to start another thread! Here is the list of teams. I will be emailing the random draft order once Week 17 is concluded. Once again, this is not the draft order!

    Please let me know ASAP if you no longer wish to participate. Not trying to single you out, but for the record @CaRtIn has a limited BA rep, but an extensive trade history on another site. If anyone has any concerns, if sure he wouldn't mind discussing via BM, but I think we are good to go. Below is the site I will be using for the random generator. It will shoot out an email to all 12 teams as soon as it is completed. I will also post the results in this thread. Best of luck everyone!

    As much as I want to try and win 4 times, I'm going to take the safe bet and take my least favorite team in the entire world, New England

    Yeah, I'm a Dolphins fan. Hurt me to make that pick, but hey, now I'll root for the Pats in the playoffs and my girlfriend and I can start speaking on Sundays again.
