We are back! Fashionably late as always, but my life is much much more busy than it used to be! This is my favorite competition on AGS, though, so I don't want to give it up and hope everyone returns along with many more competitors!
For the most part, the rules will stay the same. I will do 30 games each week of as much FCS vs. FCS competition as possible. The first few weeks I may switch that just so I can get to 30. Or possibly do a hybrid of something like "What will the game result be?" 'NDSU wins by 20+' or 'NDSU wins by <20 or Loses'.
Scoring will be pretty basic, for the most part. One point for each correct game picked. There will be a couple of additional opportunities, though. The top game on the Pick'em form each week will be worth two points. Then there will be a couple bonus questions each week. If that person or persons gets the pick right on, they will get 2 bonus points. Just like last time around, I'll keep the bonus questions weird, wild, and different each week! xrotatehx
If you've participated in previous seasons, you know I'm very flexible and will both accept picks up until game time and will usually send out reminders as well. If you're always an end-of-the-week picker and would appreciate me leaving you out of the reminders, please let me know! I just want maximum entries each and every week! Last season we had around 40 people submit picks every single week and over 60 total competitors. The deadline for picks each week will be right before the first game on Saturday starts, usually around Noon Eastern time. Most often, I'll try not to include a Thursday or Friday night game. However, this first week, there are some good ones early, so they will be in there. You can still submit all the way until Saturday in those circumstances. You'll just miss the game if you submitted after each respective kickoff.
Shoutout to the past two winners:
2021 JacksFan40 in a tight battle through the final week
2019 Gangtackle11 in a barnburner that came down to the final game.
2018 Scrappy94 in a blowout
Who will come out on top this season?
Here is the form for Week 1: https://forms.gle/3ygHyHfdh82MAKjk7
Please note, about a third of the games are on Thursday or Friday. This will be the one week you'll need to get your picks in earlier than Saturday. You can still submit up to Saturday, but you'll miss out on 10 of the 30 games.
As a bonus to pay attention to this week, you will have the chance to pick AQ conference auto-bid champs, along with last place teams from a few select conferences. Each correct pick will result in a two point bonus to your end of season total! For the champ, it needs to be the auto qualifier. For last place, it's just each team with the worst record in the conference. I did this last minute, so there may be an error in there, but if you have any questions, please let me know!
Also, as one more tweak to the scoring this year, along with the 2 point toss-up of the week, the game with picks most split down the middle, will be worth 2 points as well!
