Can't the winner pick something of equal value if he or she doesn't want the grand prize, GTA IV?
A. Not everyone owns a videogame system here.
B. Not everyone plays that type of game; if I were to win, for instance, I'd prefer an iTunes gift card.
sure, we can do that, you won't be winning, so I wouldn't sweat it

Agreed. It has been changed.

On a related note, would you rather win a real prize or some fake money that another forum refers to as "chips"? Hmmmmmm ...

yo what's the tiebreaker? if we get a lot of participation odds are there will def be a tie the way you have it structured right now.
and i don't understand quite how guessing trades will factor in, since you say to use who will have the most picks right to determine the winner
guess i'm just confused.
Good question about the tie breaker. I thought the chances of having a tie were pretty slim with all the picks that have to be made but I think we should have a tie breaker just in case. I will think of the best one possible. Meanwhile if anyone has any ideas throw them up on this thread.Originally Posted by face

Here's the method I would use:
For the Bills selections, a correct pick is worth the number of the round it is (since it gets more difficult as the rounds get bigger). So a correct 6th round pick is worth 6 points.
For picks 1-31, the value increases the more correct picks you string together.
Say you get 2 right, 1 wrong, 4 right, 2 wrong, 3 right, and that's all in a row.
Your points would be:
1 + 2 + 0 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 0 + 0 + 1 + 2 + 3
Both of these would be easy as hell to keep track of using Excel.

Too bad Madden 09 won't be out for a few more months, because it seems like that woulda been the obvious prize.
Take the gift card and wait

How do the points work...every correct pick is a point?
Ok the point system has been clarified in the mock thread http://www.talkbuffalosports.com/showthread.php?t=416. I just edited it.

IMHO the scoring should be 1 pt for the 1st round, 2 for the 2nd...and so on...
Its far more difficult to pick the 7th round than it is to pick the 1st.
I'll play either way...but that way makes more sense, again, IMHO
Due to possible trades that could and may happen you now have until 3:00p.m. tomorrow[when the draft starts] to submit/edit your mock.
