Since we've been having the elimination games for a while I thought I'd come up with another elimination game with some twists that could start at the beginning of the season. My proposed game allows you to vote for four teams each day and gives teams the opportunity to get even more points for certain achievements in the season. I thought I could post the proposed rules and bonuses with point values for critique.
Here are the proposed rules.
1. You must have at least 100 posts to do a daily vote. Anyone can add bonus points to schools where they apply, though.
2. For each daily vote, you can add two points to one team, add one to a second, take away one from a third, and take away two from a fourth.
This is to encourage people to vote up schools other than their own and vote down schools other than their rival school at the start. You may
not use a -2 on a team one point away from elimination.
3. Each team will start with 50 points instead of 10.
4. Bonuses can be applied as follows and the corresponding number of bonus points added. All bonuses must be against Division I opponents.
Obviously, not every team that has earned a bonus will have someone add the points for them but as with the regular elimination game the point is to get people to support your team in the voting. When you add points, provide a link to a box score or news article as proof.
5. BONUSES
(1) Beat a team ranked in the top 10 in the AGS poll (60 points)
(an additional 20 points may be added if that team is ranked number one in the AGS Poll)
(2) Beat a non-BCS FBS team (60 points, 20 additional points for each FBS win the team has)
(when you beat an FBS team, you add the bonus point for each FBS win they had coming into that game and you add 10 points
for all subsequent FBS wins that team has)
(3) Beat a BCS FBS team (80 points)
(same policy as with the non-BCS FBS team, add 20 points for each win said FBS team has)
(4) Beat an FBS team ranked in the AP College football poll (200 points)
(add 40 points for each subsequent week where the team is on the AP College football poll)
(5) Win a game where you were down 20 points or more at one point (80 points)
(6) Win a game in regulation or OT where you were trailing in the final minute (15 points)
(7) Win a game in regulation where the game was tied in the final minute (15 points)
(8) Win a game on the road against a team that was in the top 15 in attendance last year (30 points)

(9) Start the season unranked (i.e. below 25 in the preseason AGS poll) and get into the top 10 of the AGs poll (80 points)
(this bonus can only be applies once)
(10) Win a game with your all-conference QB injured (40 points)
(QB must miss not play any snaps)
(11) Win a game with your all-conference RB injured (30 points)
(RB must not play any snaps)
(12) Win 4 straight FCS road games (60 points)
(can only get bonus once in a season)
(13) Go undefeated in your conference (100 points)
(14) Receive an automatic bid to the FCS playoffs (40 points)
(15) Gain 600+ yards of offense in a game (30 points)
(16) Hold opponent to 150 total yards or less (30 points)
(17) QB completes all passes with minimum 10 passes (20 points)
(18) Running Back gets 200+ yards in a game (30 points)
(19) QB gets 400+ yards passing in a game (30 points)
(20) Commit no penalties in game (40 points)
(21) Get a safety (20 points)
(22) Return a punt for a touchdown (20 points)
(23) Return a kickoff for a touchdown (20 points)
(24) Get a defensive TD (20 points)
(if more than one defensive TD in one game, points stack)
(25) Shut out an opponent (40 points)
6. When bonuses are added, add the number corresponding to the Bonus on the left of the school name, and separate all bonuses with commas add asterisks to the numbers when counting wins of FBS opponents. This is to make sure bonuses aren't added more than once.
Example
North Dakota State +2
Georgia Southern +1
South Dakota -1
North Dakota -2
North Dakota State defeated 2-0 Wyoming (+100)
They also had 600 yards of offense in the game (+30)
NDSU was at 50 and is now at 182
Georgia Southern 51
North Dakota 48
2**, 15 North Dakota State 182
South Dakota 49
