TFP Loser Pool Week #4 - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

Week #4 of the TFP Loser Pool (Loser! Loser! Loser!)

The third week of the Loser Pool has passed and the list dwindles. We are down to 13 players after only 5 players picked “winners” or didn’t pick at all. We started with 55 players in first week, and then 14 players couldn’t pick a loser, after the second week we lost 23 and were down to 18 and now in the third week we have only 13 left playing. We are in week 9 of the regular season and it is time for the your next loser.

First a review of the rules:

1. Each week you must pick one team to lose that week. (Point spreads are irrelevant!) If they lose you continue on in the pool the next week. They win, you are out.

2. You may only pick a team one time during the pool to lose a game. Once you have picked a team, that team can not be used for the remainder of the season, including the playoffs if necessary. (This is where the strategy comes into play - choose wisely when to take your "sure thing" team.) If you “accidently” pick a team you have used previously, you will lose and then be prepared to be mocked and thoroughly embarrassed (hereinafter referred to as the “inharmony rule”).

Since this is a single elimination, be sure to have your pick in by midnight EST the night before the first game. If the mod (thanks again Spectre) locks the thread before you pick, you have not picked, and have lost.

If you did not get in on the first week of this pool, you are not eligible to play for the rest of the season. This pool is very similar to the Suicide Pool with one exception: instead of picking a guaranteed winner, you have to pick a guaranteed loser. Sounds simple, but remember you can only pick a team to lose once during the pool (which could stretch into the playoffs). “Choose, but choose wisely.”

Remaining players:
archer2371, bond007, bundy, crewsor, DDDDave, Dengar, heccubsiv, ironchef82, present_future, quicksteal, Sion, steelerz, yoyoyobro

Good luck to all remaining.
