The Eliminator game for this NFL season has been posted on ESPN. If you're one of the 20 that were in it last year, it will give you the option to rejoin the TDMMC group after you create your entry. For any new gamers, just use the group find function and search for "TDMMC."

Game on, folks!

You made it a week further on your initial push...you got to week 7 before your first loss. You finished at 15-2 for the season, a game away from the top.

(There's a history link for the game)

Oh ok.  I always played this like survivor. ....lose once and you're out.  I didn't really count it for the whole season-long standing.

I stopped caring after my first loss.  It is called Eliminator.  I had no clue that you keep going even if you lose.

An interesting comment, given the fact that you lost in week 2 and week 6, yet had picks submitted through the end of the season, finishing tied with Dave for 2nd. Apparently you weren't as clueless in that regard as you imagined.

^ It allowed you to pre-pick the entire season, though.

That is true, but my point was that the group winner is the one who finishes the season with the most correct weekly picks. The only thing you're eliminated from when you take your first loss is the ability to win the overall prize.

I made all my picks in week 1 with the thought that I would adjust along the way.  Because you can only use each team once, I planned ahead and made all my picks ahead of time.  I will likely do the same this year.

Yet somehow I still ended up finishing 2nd last year.

I do all ESPN games* on principle...I already have my Gridiron Challenge entry set up and ready to roll. If there isn't enough interest to get a TDMMC group going, just let me know, and I'll get you into the ESPN TOP 50 group for this game.


* All being equal to every game that isn't based on the game of soccer.

^^^Thanks I see you and I are the only ones in the TDMMC group right now. If that doesn't change I will join you in the Top 50.

Personally, I didn't care for the Gridiron Challenge format so I probably won't do it again.
