**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!

Hey EEjit, I'm the one that picked San Diego. It was all part of my plan. I wanted to get a good seat in the consolation bracket. AND IT WORKED!!
.....................ok, you're right. That was stupid. But you shouldn't kick a guy when he's down. Or just cuz he's stupid. That ain't right.

[tjntaco]

Dear NDN I think anyone questioning your ethics should DEFINTLY be banned. So I vote YEA!......Banishment......Off with his head

[eejit101]

You cant ban me. I am like boris....

[Ringo]

Dear NDN I think anyone questioning your ethics should DEFINTLY be banned. So I vote YEA!......Banishment......Off with his head

[eejit101]

Early risks work so well in this. In the 2 that i won (the only 2 i played!) I think i picked the Pats to lose early in one, but it freed up a lot of games later on in the season!

[Ringo]

Yeah but San Diego is great on the road

[eejit101]

Yeah, but the pats? 600+ yards vs a not bad defence?

Sand diego with no good kicker, and didnt look offensively that good.

Pfft, its one of the easier picks.

[xxAAKKxx]

im in but starting week 2 can i do that

[Ringo]

My pick is in

[xxAAKKxx]

mines in for week 2

[NDN]

im in but starting week 2 can i do that

We've allowed it in the past so I'll allow it this time too (you'll be in the consolation bracket though).

[eejit101]

I really want someone to pick the PAts. PLZ

[PANAMHIEST]

I am gonna do the biggest balls of the week pick in week 2 and say that san fransico will lose to the dallas cowboys. Sending pick in now

[eejit101]

Going balls deep!!!!!!!

Lol. thats a literal 50/50 bet. I was gonna add it to my parlay but couldnt pick. SO nearly went with the under. But didnt.

[PANAMHIEST]

Going balls deep!!!!!!!

Lol. thats a literal 50/50 bet. I was gonna add it to my parlay but couldnt pick. SO nearly went with the under. But didnt.

I think its gonna be +/- 7 in someones favor. Should be a good low score tough beat em up running game as san fran has a good cover in defense but not a great QB.

[herlis]

i sent my pick already but can i still send another pick to change my earlier pick? thanks!
