I see you guys have a fantasy league going, and last year there was an informal pick'em thread. Anyone interested in doing a pick'em league on Yahoo this season?

Whats a pick em? a fantasy draft?

I'm in

its picking winners and i think you cant pick the same teams after you have picked them to win something like that

In a pick'em league you take every weeks schedule and pick who's going to win in the individual team matchups. If we do it through yahoo everyone can enter their picks anytime during the week up till game time, and it'll keep track of everything.

Sure, I'm game.

I'll play

Oooh....never done it. I'm definetly in

Is the league includes point spreads?

Welcome to Yahoo! Sports Pro Football Pick'em, a weekly game that lets you show your smarts by picking the winner of this year's regular season games.

All you have to do is enter your selections each week. You'll get points for every correct pick you make while we do all the hard work of gathering the results, and computing the point totals and standings.

Yahoo! Sports Pro Football Pick'em is a free game that runs through the entire 2005 professional football regular season -- which begins on Thursday, September 8 and is scheduled to end on Sunday, January 1.

You may join the game at any time between Wednesday, August 10 and Friday, December 30. The first default deadline for submitting picks is 5:55 p.m. PT on Thursday, September 8

Create a Private Group and personally invite up to 50 of your friends or office mates to join. As the commissioner, you can configure your group to require simply picking the winners, or make the game more difficult by including point spreads and/or confidence points. You can also choose to use the default pick submission deadline, or select a different one from among options provided. Additionally, all Private Groups can allow for the exclusion of up to 16 scores. If one of these options is chosen, the selected number of lowest scores will automatically be dropped and not counted in the standings.

To join someone else's Private Group, you must get the Group ID# and Password from the group's founder.

The object of Yahoo! Sports Pro Football Pick'em is to accumulate as many points as possible by correctly picking the winning team in each of the games played during the regular season.

Each of your wins will count as one point in a basic group, or multiple points if your group uses confidence points. Weekly points are tallied, and the player finishing with the highest season total wins the group. Point spreads will not be involved.

In a Private Group, the commissioner can set the deadline to be 3:00 p.m. PT on Friday, five minutes before the start of the first game of the week or five minutes before the start of each game.

In any week where two or more players finish with the same number of points, the following system will be used to break the tie:

1. Closest to the total points for Monday night's game.

2. Closest to the home team points for Monday night's game.

3. Closest to the road team points for Monday night's game.

4. Closest to the total points for Sunday night's game.

5. Closest to the home team points for Sunday night's game.

6. Closest to the road team points for Sunday night's game.

7. Closest to the city whose team scores the most points.

8. Closest to the city whose team scores the least points.

9. Whichever user had more points in the previous week (or the week before that if still tied, etc.)

What's confusing? The interface? The rules? Maybe I can clear it up.

I'm in and first week is set.... damn I don't know how this is going to go lol

The NFL season is going to start in a week. Is anyone else going to sign up for this?

We've got 6 I think? The more the merrier.

I joined even though I know nothing about Football. I'm going Miami all the way because I like the dopey guy that smokes weed.

What is the tie-breaker section at the bottom for?

You dont need to know football. A woman where i used to work consistently win at the football pool because she chose the team by how the mascots would do in a real fight.

First game of the season is tomorrow. If you havent done so, you should go and enter your picks for the first week.

What's going on in the pool? Who's in 1st?
