    Congrats to @Haze on his week 1 win. He edged out a tiebreak. I know there will be questions about tiebreak rules. We use the yahoo default rules:

    https://help.yahoo.com/kb/SLN6629.html

    I have made an executive decision. We have 42 players, which is a little short of the 51 for weekly winners to get 3 boxes, but I have a bunch of cellared beer that will never get drunk, so I will fill in the missing boxes. This means that those who tie, but don't win the tiebreak, will not receive a box like the last few seasons when we had more players. Shipping this week:

    Pretty generous to put yourself up for 9 extra boxes. I would like to offer to send an extra weekly winner box so you aren't on the hook for all nine.

    Cheers

    I too am willing to send an extra weekly box, if you would like!



    ...but not this week...Irma has screwed up shipping to say the least.

    That's awesome of you.

    I will offer to double down on the box requirements for my shipper to pick up another one of the missing nine.

    Just so everyone is aware...

    You might have noticed in week 1 that @TheVicster did not enter any confidence points for his picks except for the monday night games. He was unaware of that portion of the BIF, as last year there was a separate pick 'em BIF which did not use confidence ranks. We have come to an agreement that at the end of the season, his final score will be adjusted upward by 28 points (the amount he would have gotten had he placed the minimum amount of points on his correct picks).

    On another note, several players are in contention for the weekly win tonight. Who will change their pick to try to steal a week...

    I think this seems fair as well.

    On a separate note, does anybody know if @KeyWestGator is ok? I don't know him (I don't think), but based on his user name I'm concerned that he may have been affected by Irma, and couldn't enter picks. I don't know if an equitable resolution could be reached, but I'm hoping someone has the ability to check on him...

    I asked him a couple days before it hit if he was evacuating and he wasn't sure. I'll reach out to him.
