With my schedule at home and work I just don't feel confident in running the Saturday picks contest this year. I don't want to delay posting the weekend games and getting results back. If someone else wants to pick up that torch and run with by all means feel free. For my part I'm throwing out this idea which will require very minimal input on my end. I'll just need to make this post and one more at the end of the season.
The game is simple. You must select the winner of the following 15 conferences (splitting divisions within larger conferences). The one you feel most confident in you'll make your 15 point selection, the one you feel the least confident in you'll make your 1 point selection. Ties will likely happen and the points will be awarded to the team that earns the higher seed for their conference tournament. Whoever scores the most points wins. You must make your picks by January 1st to compete.
Here are the conference choices followed by a sample entry in case someone isn't sure.

Re: Conference Confidence Game
I can offer to run the Pick 'Em game...are you married to any specific format or would you mind if I put my own spin on it?
Re: Conference Confidence Game
If you want to run a picks contest you are free to run it however you see fit. Like I said I'm just not here posting with enough frequency to do it this year. If you do decide to run one I'll help out as I can with stickies and what not.
