We have two major items on the docket.

ITEM #1: Who holds the money. I have no problem doing it and think I have proven my trustworthiness, but not all on this list know me so I won't take it personally if they are not comfortable. We're not talking about that much money here though, hopefully whatever is decided upon is not a deal-breaker for anyone.
Personally I don't really care. I don't think the mods want to get involved with anything like this, especially to hold $700 for 6 months, so I'm laying out the options as follows:

(a) HarryCaray
(b) Choptalk
(c) Other (write in)

ITEM #2: Single or double elimination. If you're voting single elimination, that's straightforward enough. If you're voting double elimination there are a few options, I laid them out below:

(a) Single Elim
(b) Double Elim, tiebreaker is who had their first loss latest. Would only need a tiebreaker if 2+ people are still alive after week 17. Winner gets 100% of the pot.
(c) Option (b) but with the addition that the person who stays undefeated the longest gets 20% of the pot, while the eventual winner gets 80%. Obviously one person might win both and sweep the pot. For example: if you are undefeated until week 10 (and are the longest undefeated), and then lose 2 in a row, you still get 20% of the pot.


Please vote like I do in the post below. Will tally up all votes I receive in the next 24 hours and then we'll be off and running. So if you want your voice heard speak up. I will leave the league sign-up thread open for a week or so, but once we decide which way we're going I will post in that thread and any new participants are stuck with the rules we agree upon now. I want to do this now so we can start getting the money together.

Clarification of options b and c for item #2, regarding a 2nd tiebreaker.

If the very unlikely event that there are 2 or more still alive going into week 17, they will submit their choice for SU winner for every week 17 game along with their pick. Best record in that will be used as the 2nd tiebreaker.

Don't care who holds the money, prefer to send it ******. A or B for item 2. Not enough money involved for c imo

OK gonna change it up a little bit because I didn't mean to try to start some stupid forum popularity contest with chopper.

I think most or all are ok if either of us holds.

Let's just say, I'll hold, and if you have a concern or problem with it then voice that here or forever hold your peace.
