    I had the Saints up until Friday, but then I looked at next week’s games and thought that the Saints were the obvious pick vs the Browns. Lucky I got out of Week 1 alive!

    Only 34 participants this year, so payouts are going to be a bit more reasonable. Top 6 will win boxes and won’t ship.

    1st - 8 boxes
    2nd - 6
    3rd - 5
    4th - 4
    5th - 3
    6th - 2

    Although as a longtime SD Chargers fan you can be sure of a few really big let downs from them and usually in a spot where you are counting on them.

    The browns kicker is a very rich man. He has to be betting against himself the way he is missing game changing FG's

    Wow.

    Everyone eliminated this week will go into a second round to determine top 6.

    If Pats win, everyone else will be fighting for 2-6. If the Lions win, everyone eliminated this week is tossed back into the pool.

    Ok, so we have 2 options here;

    1 - The 13 people eliminated this week join a new league and keep going until the Top 6 are decided. The difficultly is that there's no safeguards in place to prevent someone from picking a team they've already selected.

    2 - The 13 people eliminated this week split 21 boxes from those eliminated prior to Week 3, and the competition ends. Each of us would get 1 box, and a random selection of 8 would get a second box. Anyone interested in going for Round 2 could re-join a new competition.

    I'm happy to do either, but we need to make a decision TODAY. If you were eliminated today, Please vote - simple majority by 8am Tuesday morning wins.

    Ugh.. tough choice but seems like a tracking nightmare.. plus a bird in the hand is worth 2(or 8) in the Bush..

    So I’ll say option 2: split the boxes

    I'm going to vote for option 2, split all the boxes. After the chaos that has happened in weeks 1 and 3, I'm happy with taking my box (or two) and running.

    Option 2. The idea of a rejoin is appealing also if you are tracking interest in folks interested in a Round 2 of this frustrating competition.
