 |

|
I am excited to bring back the annual Valhalla forum Pick-em challenge! In 2011, vike daddy was our winner, let’s not let this happen this year.
The rules are as follows:
 Each member has to have their picks in before the scheduled start for each game.
Each pick must have a numeric value of importance assigned to it. Any pick that doesn't have a corresponding number, will be given the highest value.
Numeric values will be 1-16. The more confident you are in your guess, the higher the number you assign the game. Be aware, not all weeks will consist of 16 games.
| Example wrote: | Seattle Seahawks @ Minnesota Vikings (16)
Minnesota Vikings (1) @ Green Bay Packers |
Ranking values can't be repeated during the same week.
The person with the most points at the end of the year will be the winner.
I would also like to add that I would prefer for all games picked to be displayed in the same posting. Its a lot easier to tabulate the points at the end of the week if I dont have to go through separate posts just for a single game prediction. It isnt a big deal if its only 3-4 members doing this, but it will be an annoyance if everyone starts posting one "pick" in a single post to beat the early game. I didnt want to make this an official rule, as this usually isn't a wide spread problem. Further, if you do post the early game "pick" by itself it would be helpful for you to quote the earlier post when you post the rest of your picks for the week.
Best of luck! I encourage as many members who are interested in participating to do so.
