Game Thread Competition: Season Five
Game Thread Competition: Season Five
Why not at least have one if you guys want. The Root app at least makes watching bearable without dealing with cable.
Same rules as last few years unless anyone speaks up.
Winner will earn bragging rights.
Looks like so far the ones who wanted to sign up are:
1) mostonmike
2) desbcoach
3) Millikin
4) rockycola

Re: Game Thread Competition: Season Five
Count me in! Let's see if I can break my record for missed game threads (5) that I set last year.

Re: Game Thread Competition: Season Five
RULES (copied from last year)
-In the event of a Loss, the next person on the list has from the time the game ends in a Loss until 2 hours prior to the start of their game to start the game thread.
-In the event the Scheduled thread starter misses their thread, they are penalized 1 loss and their turn.
- In that case the On-Deck poster has from 1:59:00 before game time until 1:00:00 before game time to take over the thread at their OPTION, but it would use their turn in line for the exclusive opportunity to take that thread.
- At 1 hour until game time, the thread becomes open to the first (any) poster that posts a thread INCLUDING lineups. Two threads posted near the same time, the first one with lineups becomes official and it is a free turn, it does not erase your spot in line (even the on deck poster when it is within the 1 hour window). Note this is the only time lineups will be required to start the thread.
- A thread that is taken over within 1 hour of game time is a FREE TURN for the poster. It will count as a Loss if you lose, but you're taking the chance on getting a free winning streak out of it.
-Proposed new rule, 5 missed threads by an individual may result in DFA and removal from the order, DavidGee24 has an exception granted
-Must be added to the list by 4/7
