    To see how this worked in practice, see the MLS or NCAA Soccer threads:

    Basically, you give me your champion and runner-up. Then no-one else can choose that pair. You would be forced to have a second or third or fourth choice, if your first was taken. Total selections in this case is 72; selections remain open until one of the teams is eliminated (so your selection doesn't have to be in by the first kickoff).

    Rules are semi-fluid ("we make some it up as we go along") so at some point we may allow players to make a second selection. (This case happened in the NCAA Soccer playoffs: since no one chose Maryland Baltimore County, we allowed UMBC selections as a second choice. [This could happen in this case with the Carolina Panthers.] We also allowed players to make a second selection after their first selection was eliminated, but as I said, we play that by ear.)

    So, as stated, give me one selection from the table below. It will be updated periodically.

    Never played this before. Skimmed through the referenced threads.
    I take it the goal is to select the Super Bowl outcome (?)
    I'll give it a go.

    #N3 Dallas Cowboys > #A1 New England Patriots

    A3 Pittsburgh Steelers over N6 Detroit Lions.

    Do I win more with such an unlikely result?

    Of course, I was hoping for more selectors. Guess that I'm not the only one who doesn't go into the NFL sub-forums that much:

    After the second game (hence the "2" in the eliminated column) we have our first loss of the tournament:

    Auriaprottu: You can make another selection starting Monday. (In one of our [my] as-we-go-along rules, you are allowed to make a second selection 24 hours after your first selection gets bounced.)

    There are 50 selections open:

    No-one had (#A1 New England Patriots) -def- (#N1 Seattle Seahawks). No champion of the Draft. Sorry, Boca; you don't win the all-valuable piece of BigSoccer Rep.
