Barra333 Posted December 31, 2021 Share Posted December 31, 2021 Nice one! I ended the warm up by constantly forgetting the game exists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Platt Posted January 1, 2022 Share Posted January 1, 2022 I’m ready to dominate this. Also, I may just be stupider than 5 years ago but how does the knockout work? Is it by weekly win streak? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth_Krid Posted January 1, 2022 Share Posted January 1, 2022 Gonna start the year off on 1-0 Is it all just handegg, ice hockey and dunking now? There used to be football on here and other proper sports. Most picks are in the middle of the night too so it might be a slow streak I build!

I see I didn't really expand on that in the OP. I'll be manually tallying "weekly" streaks. At the end of week 1 (1/7), the person with the lowest streak is knocked out. Only knocking out 1 person because we only have 6 participants atm - this may change if more people join in later. The manual weekly streak then resets to 0 to start week 2. This is a side competition within each month, your normal monthly streaks will still count for the other 2 HOF spots in Best Single Streak and Best Combined Streaks.

Darth_Krid Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 Is there a way to get notifications to your phone or even desktop when a streak comes through? I can only pick a new one when I remember and then check the site on my laptop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No idea why the site gave me that name. Is it not possible to pick a day in advance? I have chosen a game later, but when I pick one for early tomorrow, it cancels today's pick.

Darth_Krid Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 Didn’t even know you could have pending! Think I had a rule that I’d never pick my own team for streak, this is why! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darth_Krid Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 Is it just me or is this a lot easier than it used to be years ago when we last played it? W5 used to be a good achievement, W10 was maybe once a month if you were lucky, anything more than that was almost unheard of. Some of these props are basically gimmies, Tom is already on W14, Barra is on 8 and I'd be on 12 if I hadn't stupidly broke my one rule and gone with my own team. As I said, unless you really must pick something as soon as it's available, you can afford to be patient and just go with the absolute gifts they're giving. One the other night was a QB to throw ONE pass in a quarter...I could bloody do that 😂 Also props like top-end La Liga clubs to advance over semi-pro minnows rather than win by 3+ goals, even tonight the League Cup semi is weird. Chelsea are a better team than Spurs and playing at home...why the feck is it Chelsea win or draw and not Spurs win or draw? 🤔 I'll say all this and I'll be on L5 by the end of the week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I stopped, the first few days were pretty easy (avoid the landmines), then the middle of the month got harder. I expect that this weekend there will be NFL games that are "team wins by double digits" instead of "team wins". How easy/hard the end of the month was generally depended on what the leaderboard looked like. If there were no active streaks at the top, picks get easy again to let people catch up.
