**CLOSED** Losers League Contest - Session One

[NDN]

This year, we are taking a more relaxed approach with the Losers League contest (in large part due to a lack of interest compared with previous years).

The rules remain unchanged, but the selection process becomes a bit more simple!

Just to refresh everyone's memory, this is how the contest works:


Selections are due by Wednesday at 11:59pm ET - NO EXCEPTIONS!

The contest starts with the games of Sunday, Sept 11th (the first Thursday game of the season is ignored).

To be eligible to participate in the first session of this year's losers league, your entry must be received by Friday, September 9th at 4:00pm ET!

The concept is simple; select an NFL team to lose each week (point spreads are not a factor).

You can select a team only once during each session until the playoffs. During the playoffs, the 'any team any time' rule applies, meaning you can pick any team you'd like regardless of whether or not you used them during the regular season.

If your selection wins ... YOU LOSE !!!!!

If your selection ties ... YOU LOSE !!!!!

If you repeat your selection ... YOU LOSE !!!!

If your selection is not in by 11:59pm ET on Wednesday ... YOU LOSE !!!!

If you lose once, you fall into the consolation bracket.

If you lose twice, you are a true loser!

After it is all said and done there is one winner of the Championship Bracket ($50) and one winner of the Consolation Bracket ($25).


With all of that said, if you would like to participate in this year's Losers League contest, please click here to send me a private message with your selections!

Throughout the season, please continue to send me a private message each week with your selections and remember to get them to be before the deadline! Because we are taking a relaxed approach with this contest, there won't be too many reminders, so it's up to you to get your selections in on time each week! If you could kindly use a subject line in the format of "Week One Selection" each week I would greatly appreciate it!

This will be the official Losers League thread, so please check here for a list of everyone's selections each week (posted after the deadline) and to do some bragging!

Good luck and have fun!

If your selection ties ... YOU LOSE !!!!!


detriot and minnesota went to overtime , does this mean im out of the championship bracket and down to the consololation bracket ? oh well better luck next time!

Definitely not. You're still in the top bracket.

You only lose on a tie if the game ends in a tie (after OT's).

This might be my un doing but since all the games look to be fairly tough matchups with a potential for some big upsets I am gonna go out on a limb here and say that the Pittsburgh Steelers will Lose to the Houston Texans.

If I would'a got my np, which was Minnesota for that week, to NDN on time-instead of 2 hours latter, I would still be in the winners bracket. Would'a-could'a-shoud'a. At least I'm still in the next bracket.
