How should we do the pick ems to decide the champion? 
 

1. Add up the regular season and playoff totals combined to see who has the most overall wins

 

2. Take the 8 highest posters from the regular season and whoever has the most playoff wins, wins it all

 

3. 10 posters go into the playoffs and every round the bottom 2 get eliminated until there are only 2 posters left for the state finals.

Because I am an elitist, I favor choice number 3. It aligns with the playoff system of having only the two best in the final games.

Yea I agree. I vote number three as well.

We could ask FHSAA. They're good at figuring out those things.

Their answer would likely make it impossible to determine the winner as it would be overly complicated and totally non transparent. 

[nolebull813]

The FHSAA would make me wanna delete all the pick em threads up to this point and never do it again 

[KeemD321]

I'd say 2 or 3. Either way I'll be in it lol

[KeemD321]

Lmao I just realized I left off a game in my picks and that game would've had me at 9 lol

If you do go for choice 3, though, you will have to have tie breakers each week. Select a game and have each participant forecast either the point spread of the final result or the total number of points in the game or some such statistic. If not, we likely have some posters facing elimination tied at the end of each round.

Personally, I think we ought to just call it a day and end the season now. 

Oh, and any tiebreakers should be decided by who got their picks in the earliest this past week.  

All kidding aside, my only concern with 2 and 3 is that the regular season results become meaningless (aside from "making the playoffs").  There's no reward for regular season performance - no home-field advantage, if you will.  (Perhaps you could spot the higher seed with one point to serve as the tie-breaker).   Yeah, yeah, I know that probably won't fly with the rest of the group, but that's what happens when you try to come up with a solution midway through the season; folks have a way of voting based on what's beneficial to them when the vote is cast.  Kinda like Congress. 

At the end of the day, I don't really care.  I've just got to hope my guessing streak and my lucky 'flipping quarter' continue to pay dividends for me.

I like the idea for number 3 that the tiebreaker goes to the higher seed.
