    I guess it's that time of year again... Thanks again @Theredflame2 for all your work over the years.

    Without further ado....Time for another year of NFL 33. This is a great time, and no skill needed. Basically, you get a team and if it scores 33 during the season, you win!

    I will randomly draw names and assign teams.

    Object:
    Your team scores 33 points in a game, win or lose, and you win!

    I will break up the teams in 4 groups of 8. This is for shipping purposes only, anyone wins if their team hits 33 at any time.

    The first 8 picked start at week 1. (Unlucky group 1) if someone hits in weeks 1-4, this group ships beer.

    Once someone hits, or we get to week 5, then group 2 starts. If no one hits, group 1 and 2 ship, so now it's 16 boxes of beer! If 33 is not hit, every 4 weeks the next group is added. The first one to hit 33 gets boxes from everyone on the clock.

    When 33 is hit, everyone already on the clock ships. The next group is on the clock and we start the 4 week clock over.

    Last year, we went through the 4 groups two times. No one is required to go the second round, we will find someone to fill the slot.

    So in a nutshell:
    1. 44oz good quality beer
    2. Random Drawn NFL Team
    3. Team needs to score 33pts final score win or lose
    4. Random drawn senders in groups of 8
    5. 2 or more winners hit they split whatever box total is up for grabs.
    6. No gaps in beer sending schedule! If some one hits early the next group is up.
    7. If all 4 groups give beer out, we will decide a way to proceed. Either start over the same way, or ??? We will cross that bridge when we get there. No one is required to play twice.
    8. If you are a sender and you hit you still get the total number of boxes minus your own. Example you hit week 4, you get the other 7 boxes.
    9. Group of 8 will rollover into the next group of 8 if no hits occur.
    10. Side LIFs are highly encouraged. What is that you ask? Well, make up something and ship beer if it happens. Check past years for examples. I'll be doing one, but haven't decided what yet.
    11. Shipping is expected within 30 days

    NOTE: Last year we only had 16 entries so everyone received two teams. The first round was one NFC and one AFC team and the second round was one of the top 16 scoring teams and one of the bottom 16 scoring teams. To plan ahead better, the first 16 will automatically get in. After that, I'll keep a waitlist until we get to 32. If we end up with between 16-32, I'll figure something else out. I want to draw the teams on the Tuesday before games start, but if we are close, I'll do Wednesday. If we don't get 16 entries, I don't think I'll run it, but I'm hoping that's not a problem

    All this might look complicated but it's not. I will answer any questions on here or beermail.

    This is opened to BAers with at least 5 good trades or another BIF. Otherwise you'll need a sponsor in this BIF. This doesn't guarantee boxes will be shipping, but definitely helps.

    I'm going to tag all of last year's participants and they'll have first dibs. If you haven't played, definitely still sign-up, as I'm hoping we'll get back to 32. Last year's participants will have until Sunday morning before their guaranteed spots are opened up

    Please send me a BM with name, address, telephone number and email address if you are interested.

    Cheers!

    This doesnt sound time consuming, beyond shipping tasty treats to fellow BAs. And as you say, no skill or strategy.
    Im in and can get references if you need 'em.

    Ill send a BM with my contact info and let me know what else you would need.
