Warrior General Games

No rewards for this, just bragging rights.

For each conference, create 4 tiers of 4 teams.

Tier 1: Home playoff teams
Tier 2: Away playoff teams
Tier 3: Just missed teams
Tier 4: Bottom feeder teams

For each team you correctly place you get -2 points. For each team incorrectly placed you get 1 point for each game they missed your tier by. Low score wins. Example coming in the next post.

Tiebreakers:
Most teams correctly placed
Lowest 'worst' individual team score
Most tier 1 teams correctly placed
Most tier 2 teams correctly placed
Most tier 3 teams correctly placed
Fewest number of active dots

You'll place all 32 teams in one of eight tiers. For this example, let's just consider four teams you placed in tier 2 of Alpha.

Tier 2 - Alpha
Hali of Fame
Chocolate Blaze

Do they still do the team donation thing? notgoing2argue, do you have a team you'd like me to make a small donation to?

Good idea AA. Should be a fun competition. Are we allowed to donate flex, or was that changed?

bout the only thing you can do now is "donate" to a team owners fund......but 500 is also a max.

just transfer it through the flex bank, apparently it's totally legal

I think the days of donating flex are officially over. You can donate funds via paypal (or whatever else) but I know this is a much less attractive option for donators.

WL survivor still alive though, right? GLB's reward points ftw?

So for the purposes of this contest, 9th-12th is "just missed" tier regardless of final record?

I might could enter this.

Looks awfully similar except you have Hali of Fame in Tier 2 and the Machu Picchu Hidden Dragons in Tier 1.

Crouching Nuts in Your Mouth are getting no respect.
