I would like some input from those who played the game this year. My original intent was to use a tie breaker outlined in rule 10 above. However, I don't want to drag all those pics into this thread and I'm not sure I'd get much participation asking posters to dig up the previous 12 threads to make a decision. Therefore, as long as there is a consensus, I'm going to use the tie breaker we've used in the past which will be the Conference Championship Challenge.

Any thoughts?

the conference champ challenge makes more sense as a tie break anyhow, so sounds good to me.

Could just use the Alabama thread as tie break? That's kinda what that turned into anyways. Best individual weekly thread for this game ever

Pick the army/navy game winner with best pics as voted on by the board members. Kind of a hot or not pictorial LOL

that would be entertaining

Greg, appreciate your running this.

I spent a hell of a lot of time searching every description I could think of for an Alabama hottie. I'm just humbly saying that I'm really not up to doing it again for another game.

Not sure what the conference championship challenge is, but if it is just picking the winners and assigning points without pics, that would work for me, or just use the best pics for the Alabama game last Saturday.

Thanks and again congrats to 87 for being a great player.

That's what it is. Confidence picks with a total score (of all games) tie breaker.

Hey carcass you and 87cat deserve a ton of applause. You guys both put in great work this year and last week went to a whole new level. No matter which of you wins the TB, both are worthy champions.

Really nice of you to say that. Thanks brother. Just kinda wishing it counted.

Greg, would you consider posting which conferences count and the dates for these games?

I'll post the game sometime this week. It's open to all on the board and will be used for the tie breaker for you two on this game.

Here's the link to the 2015 game to give you a sense of how it works.

I'm with carcassdragger, I'm content to be call a co-winner for 2018. I lost the tiebreaker in 2015, but the difference was there were multiple people who tied that year and it made sense to have a tie-breaker.

If you want to have a separate conference championship contest - that would be fun.

As for the army/navy idea, here's what it could look like:

Congratulations go to Carcassdragger for winning the 2018 Bear Down Wildcats Survival Pool.

Please add "2018 Bear Down Wildcats Survival Pool, Champion" to your sig.

Well done!

Greg,

Thanks very much for running this, it was fun. Also want to thank 87Cats (my unofficial Co-Champion) for a great season ending battle and for just being a good guy through it.

Thanks!

Greg,

I too appreciate your work with the Survivor Pool year in and year out. Another job well done.

Well done to Carcassdragger for a spirited sprint to the end and all the other participants that make this weekly event fun. The pictures always remind me how much I miss the UofA and college life!!!

I assume that Carcassdragger being named the champion means that the Conference Championship picks were the tiebreaker?
