KICK-OFF 'scheduled' TIME for each game is the deadline for submitting your selection for most regular season games but there are times when games which have a time change due to late season re-scheduling or a natural disaster occurring, then the deadline will be the new allocated timeslot.
THURSDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL will be regular feature on this seasons' schedule which means FRIDAY MORNING for Australian fans.
For the fourth time in Online AE history (but not limited to AE history) a ROOKIE claimed the spoils joining
Ac83 (2012)
Clash Hendrix (2009)
Sven (2008)
as the rookies to have claimed the AE title however, nobbyiscool , also replicated the AE Crown Double to be the second in as many seasons to achieve such a stunning double triumph succeeding superfreak from 2014.
A second consecutive season dramatic finish to the CR as NOBBYISCOOL stuck his neck out for the Vikings who had only tasted victory @ Lambeau Field just once in the last ten seasons. Return veteran, Broken was poised to hold off the challenges as 66% of the AE consensus backed in the firm favourite Packers their fifth consecutive NFC North Divisional title.
FINAL SCORE: GREEN BAY 13 MINNESOTA 20.
NO SHOWS / DEFAULT PICKS:
As per last season, the AE Tipping website will be PRE-SET to ROAD TEAMS as a DEFAULT for everyone with the 1 to 16 CR value running in numerical order sequence: 1 for TNF up to 16 or whatever the highest CR value on that given week is, for MNF. (Yes, I know Week 1 has two MNF games… the last game played will be 16CR FYI)
This Pre-set concept means if you forget/ overlook to submit your weekly picks, you'll already KNOW you have the ROAD TEAMS as a default with the3XKO teams from the last games of the week being the SNF, MNF and another late Sunday game (if applicable to your 3XKO survival status).
Stipulations to be included by August 1st in a follow up post on this thread.
3XKO (pronounced Three Strikes Knockout or 3KO)
Managed by BGT2110.
This next competition is a Knockout format. A three chances contest where you start with selecting THREE teams who you expect to WIN in Week 1.
To qualify for the following week, you must have correctly predicted at least one winner of these three teams. Elimination of the 3XKO contest comes in a process of THREE STRIKES against your name. A X strike counts against your name each time you lose a chance which includes a tied result.
Default 3XKO picks for your weekly selections submitted, if overlooked, shall be the last three games of the week being notably MNF, SNF and the most western located venue game of the late Sunday games.
NOTE: NO restrictions on taking same winning team in back to back weeks due to default of road team employed this season.
Note: If there is an abundant of 3XKO survivors (8+) in December, sanctions such as TWO or THREE TEAMS to be selected to fast track the culling process. Week 16 will amount to a play-off OR showdown depending on the participants remaining.
Last season's 3XKO was a BRADBURY Special with rookie Starlin Castro clinching the 3XKO title after needing his beloved Bears to pull off an improbable come from behind road win on MNF (vs Chargers) in Week 9 as his default pick and two Upset results in Week TEN knocking out a dozen contenders.
Of the nine seasons, SIX have required a 3XKO Showdown.
NEXT DUEL
This competition is purely correlated with the Confidence Rating comp. Your total weekly score is in combat with a scheduled direct opponent in a head to head match up each week for the first ELEVEN weeks. TIED scores between opposing opponents will remain as a TIED result during the regular season. However during the ND Play-Offs, the following TIE BREAKER criteria will determine the result:
1. Most correct winning teams selected
2. Highest CR countback
3. Previous week higher CR countback score
DIVISIONAL SET UP FROM: 70
2 conferences @ 35
7 div @ 5 teams
Div Rivals to play each other once (4) over 12 weeks.
Plus Seven conference opponents and one inter conference opponent = 8* other games
*Note that with 35 in each conference and 70 doesn't fit into 12, that the likes of Americanfoe, Bipolarbear BPG, Marcuz, Scotty and Striker475 have an additional inter conference match up but everyone will have at least one division opponent from their conference.
