Rules:
1. Pick who you think is going to win each game each week.
2. You may have up to 3 LOCKS's each week. Just specify your locks by typing LOCK next to your pick. This will go towards your tiebreaker. If you use more than 3 locks, only your first three locks will count. SUPER LOCK's however will always count as the first lock, regardless of order.
3. Picks must be made within 5 minutes of start time
4. Don't delete your post. Editing is fine so long as you do it before game start time.
5. Correct Locks are worth +10, while Incorrect Locks are worth -10. If you don't make picks, you earn -30 points.
6. Super Locks may be used on the game of the week. Get it right for 30, or get it wrong for -30. Just put SUPER LOCK next to the game of the week. You may also use a regular lock instead on the game of the week for +10 or -10. Just omit the word SUPER
7. Once during the season you may use a LOCK ALL. Just say
LOCK ALL
in your post, and you will lock every game. Each correct is worth +10, and each wrong is worth -10 (For up to +160 points in a 16 game week). You may also use the SUPER LOCK during this week for +30 or -30 for that game instead of the +10 or -10. Just indicate it as a SUPER LOCK ALL (The super lock only counts for the game of the week)
8. The player(s) who correctly lock every team (minus any teams that go winless) at least once will gain +250 tiebreaker points. If nobody manages to do this, then whoever correctly locks the most teams will get a bonus of +100 tiebreaker points
9. I reserve the right to remove anyone from the player list that misses two weeks of picks. Those wishing not to be removed after missing two weeks must take it up with me before missing a third week.
Notes:
-I changed the Super Lock to 30 points. This makes it both more rewarding AND riskier
-I've also created a SUPER LOCK ALL option, which means using the LOCK ALL no longer takes away your ability to super lock the game of the week.
-I'm not keeping up with as much as I did last year. Just team records, home/away records, and who you've locked.
-The end of year bonus has gone up

Growing up, I wish some teacher told me "You probably won't ever need this, but if you don't learn it, you might miss out on something really cool."
