    I didnt check if this is being done already here but here we go:
    This is my first time setting up a Pickem league but seeing who is interested for the upcoming playoffs. I set it up with the spread.



    I set this up on Yahoo.



    Payouts depending on how many people join, no max. Aiming for 1 out of 4 get paid.



    $25 of unrated beer that has over a 90 rating. No need to ship wants, but welcome.



    Post "IN" here and send me a BM with your email address so I can send the invite.



    Open to people with at least 5 trades with consideration to the old system. Cheers. This is also open to Rate beer members.

    Sorry about the lack of details. This is going to be the length of the playoffs. Each game you will pick a winner with the spread. Most points by the end wins, top 25% paid. If I'm missing something please feel free to put in a suggestion.

    Im IN. Lets get some more people in on this one!

    Suggestion: Maybe put the ante in OUNCES instead of $$. Might help get people to join. Like 44 ounce minimum

    8 people so far.

    As for ounces, I've found that some send 4 12ozers and call it a day so I figured id try a $$$ amount. If it doesn't work then i will switch back.to The ouncers.

    So the tie-breakers are for weekly performance - but we are only going for most points for the entire playoffs - correct ? Do you know if there is any built in tie-breaker for this ? Or are you going to designate something?

    Most points entire playoffs. The tiebreakers you enter are the built in tie breaker so there is clear winner. Hope that answers it. This is what I understand of the system.

    Do you have any idea how those work? The only tiebreaker's I've seen before are total point scores in which there is an easy way to determine who was closer. I can't figure out how these are going to work - eg, does it gives you a point for each correct "Highest" and "Lowest" winner if you get them correct? Or is it like a progressive tie-breaker, like use the 1st one, if it doesn't break the tie, move to the 2nd one ?
