    @surlytwinsfan I'm fine to keep going or to just chop and neither of us would send or receive a box I think. Let me know if you have a preference. @RuckIt let us know if one way would be easier for you

    I'm happy to continue to track your picks if you'd like - or you can opt for the "neither ship, nor receive" if you'd like.

    Another idea; I could send you a list of this upcoming week's games, and you pick who you think will win in each matchup. I'll go down the list, and the first game that you both picked differently will decide the winner.

    No problem! It's been pretty easy so far!

    Picking multiple winners would definitely speed things up, but that's a lot of tracking to be done, and may eliminate everyone at once. Unless the 5 remaining entrants want to go that route, I'd say let's give it another week or two. There's 4 more regular season games to pick, and we can stretch it into the playoffs if necessary.

    Your pick was definitely the better one this week Mike. Thought our Bears were going to pull it out.

    Prizes:
    1st - 4th - TBD

    5th - @SP23 wins 5 boxes
    6th - @Auslander wins 3 boxes
    7th - @hshand17 wins 2 boxes
    8th - @tripler7 and @surlytwinsfan have agreed neither will win or send any box.

    Once everything is wrapped up, I'll be assigning targets based on geography.

    Crazy it's gone this far!!!! I'm only bringing this up as it's been a lot of fun hanging on for dear life every week in this thing, but if we had a unanimous decision amongst the survivors to chop this up at any point with four survivors remaining it works out evenly.............

    1st place is 12 boxes
    2nd place is 10
    3rd place is 8
    4th place is 6

    Total of 36 boxes, split now amongst four survivors is 9 each. If one guy gets eliminated and the remaining three split its 10 each. if it goes down to 2 left, they could split 11 each or with an outright winner they would get 12. As each new guy gets knocked out now, it adds a box to your winnings versus a spilt now............ 9,10,11,12. (Not much difference).

    I'm only suggesting this as a possible option as it's getting late in the year shipping wise. I'm in FL, not a problem here but watching football this weekend made me realize that my BA brethren in other states might have some issues coming up very shortly weather wise.

    And, I'm also totally cool with riding this out to the bitter end. Just food for thought...............

    @Summer78 , @WhoDatMatt @wittyname what are your thoughts? I would also be down for a sidebet of some sort amongst the four of us if you did decide to chop this up. Still have to have a winner!!!

    Any of this is obviously subject to @RuckIt approval. Thanks again for running a great LIF !

    I will defer to the 4 of you still in the running - there are a few options available to you;

    Continue on with no rules changes.
    Continue on, but picking 2 teams to win every week. Both must win or you're eliminated.
    Stop immediately, split the boxes evenly among the 4 remaining teams (9 each).

    Or I'd be open to another option, so feel free to suggest away!

    I'm down for whatever. I vote either split or pick 2 games

    I'd go along with anything, but chalk me up for a 4-way split now.

    It's okay
    When it's in a 4-way
    It's not gay
    When it's in a 4-way
    With a honey in the middle
    There's some leeway
    The area's grey
    In a 1-2-3-4 way

    hope we have some SNL fans here, otherwise, I look like a dick
