2020 NFL Team Wins Pool

[Sandyman]

NFL season is upon us and it's time to start playing the various Pools. I did this pool with my family yesterday so let's kick off with the Team Wins Pool.

It's arguably one of the easiest pools or at least the one which requires the least effort - you pick your teams before the start of the season and that's it! Come back at the end of the regular season to see if you have won.

How to Play

You select the teams you think will have the best record at the end of the regular season.
You combine the number of wins of the teams you selected to get your Wins Total.
Whoever has the highest Wins Total, Wins the Pool!

A Tie counts as half a Win and is added to the total. A team can only be picked once.

Example:
You picked Ravens and Jets and their standings at the end of regular season are:

Ravens : 13-2-1
Jets : 3-13-0

Then your Wins Total is 13+0.5+3 = 16.5

Tie Breaker

If two players finish with the same Wins Total, the winner will be decided by tiebreaker in the following order:
1. Best combined away record
2. Most combined points scored
3. Least combined points against
4. Coin-toss

Drafting will be done in the thread itself and it will be a snake draft. Since there are 32 NFL teams, we would ideally need 8 or 16 people to play.

So, who's in?

Didn’t we play a league couple of years where you got to pick one team to win each week and you can’t pick a team again? That was fun. I still remember half the league was out after week 1 cause they picked the Pats to win and KC upset them at Foxboro.

Losers pool? Yeah was thinking of doing that too. The one you mention got over in 4 weeks We had to start another game after that.

Awesome!

That gives us 5. What about you @RDCR07 and @altodevil ? You in?

Will probably have to ram through the draft now.

 

[The Cat]

I'll have a go if it's not that much effort.

 

[altodevil]

Sure

 

[RoadTrip]

I’m in

Also are we doing the other thing we did last year I.e you pick a team you think will lose each week

 

[Sandyman]

And that makes it 8! Will wait till tomorrow morning to see if there are more takers and then start the Snake draft tomorrow with a 4 hour window between picks.

 

[Sandyman]

Just remembered we have only 3 days left for the season opener. So, let's just play this season with the following 8 players:
utdfrom2002
@backofthenet
@Organic Potatoes
@okLaptop1
@RobinLFC
@The Cat
@altodevil
@rpitroda

Each player picks 4 teams
Draft Type: Snake
Time between picks: 4 hours for the first round and then 2 hours for the remaining three rounds. We can be lenient in the first round as this is short notice but after that we need to move fast to finish drafting before the Thursday game.

 

[altodevil]

Snake doesn't work out the fairest in this format

 

[Sandyman]

Snake doesn't work out the fairest in this format

4 rounds so it's fine. Think the issue is if it's odd number of rounds.

 

[Sandyman]
