    Introducing the most phenomenal MLB BIF ever...

    I've been kicking this idea around for a while and finally decided to go through with it. Here are the specs:

    1. Starting with the first day of the MLB season (March 31) you pick one team to win their game that day.

    2. You must submit a pick for every day there is a game (unless you've used all the teams playing that day...unlikely), before the first game of the day starts. Picks should be submitted by email to [email protected]. For strategic and administrative reasons, picks submitted on the thread or by beermail will not be accepted.

    3. You can only pick a team once.

    4. If you pick two games wrong you're out. Yes, that's double elimination.

    5. If you forget to submit a pick it counts as a wrong pick.

    6. If you repeat a pick it counts as a wrong pick.

    7. If you pick against the Cleveland Indians it counts as a wrong pick. Yes that's a real rule. My game, my rules.

    8. I'll keep track of everything in a public Google doc, but I can't promise it will be updated every single day. You are responsible for keeping track of who you've used and who you haven't.

    9. The Survivor wins a box of beer from me.

    **I find it highly unlikely that anyone, let alone more than 1 person, will make it through all 30 teams, but if they do I will make up a rule to settle the tie.

    I'm going to cap this at 50 people. I wanted to do 100 but even 50 is going to be an administrative debacle, so we'll go with 50.

    So if you pick against the Cleveland, and they win, it counts as a double wrong pick? :slight_smile:

    I'm in and will send an email shortly. However, only Texas and Houston play on the 31st so do we have to pick one of them to start this off?

    Thanks for doing this!

    this BIF might end sooner than you expected lol. Especially if Houston can pull one out.

    Is this too complicated for people or what? It's FREE BEER! Only 11 entries so far, so your odds are good!

    Yea this was a no brainer for me. Pick a winner everyday and last one standing gets a box. I figured this would be stacking up quick.

    Im in...though I think this is technically more of a LIF, no? Losers are not shipping anything the way I read it, correct?
