We're back and we're fuckin' ready to go.

Most of the time, we hate kickers. In this game, we love them through all their faults.



What's a Kicker Eliminator?
Back in 2013, IcePhoenix decided to spice up the Eliminator idea by making one revolving around the most unappreciated of positions: the lowly place kicker.

Here's how it works: Every week you select an NFL kicker. If they make all their field goals and extra point attempts, you keep playing!

Any other rules I should know about?
1) You must select your kicker before kickoff of the game they're playing in by posting in this thread.
2) Once you have selected a kicker, you cannot use them again.
3) If your kicker doesn't attempt a kick that week, you're eliminated.
4) In the last three weeks of the season, a kicker may be picked by no more than half the remaining players.

Can I change my pick?
Sure, as long as neither kicker's game has started. Do NOT edit your posts to change your kicker. In the interest of not ripping my hair out of my scalp, I'm not going to be sifting through every post to double-check and see if you edited yours. It's a simple game for simple folks. Try not to pick an injured kicker or, God forbid, a kicker on a bye week.

So how do you win this thing?
Simply be the last person standing! There are a few things to in keep in mind:
- If all remaining players are eliminated in the same week, they all move on to the next week.
- If more than one player is still standing by the end of week 17, the winner will be determined by a tie-breaker. In order of highest to lowest priority, they are:
* Longest FG made the entire season from a kicker the week they kicked for you.
* Total points of all kickers the week they kicked for you.
* Total touchbacks of all kickers the week they kicked for you.
* Total points in each individual week counting back from week 17.

....and returning this year, a bonus game for ELIMINATED PLAYERS!

Kicker Roulette

-Eliminated players still pick a player every week but with a twist - you add a number next to their name
-That number will represent the potential yardage of a field goal your kicker might hit that week
-If your kicker boots one that EXACT distance, you hit the magical KICKER JACKPOT
-Hitting the jackpot will summon you back to the land of the living and you will be back in the game again
-Casino odds means extra points don't count, and you can only hit the jackpot once before the kicker gods tell their pit boss to escort you out.

you'd just add "ROULETTE:" in front of your kicker pick and your entry will be shaded a different color on the scoreboard to track your status so we can still determine the real eliminator champion at the end of the game as well

by the way one way to change your kicker BEFORE the games of either of your choices starts would be to make a new post so that we can tell it was legit based on the post time. Instead of editing your previous post. Might make sense as a rule

I'll buy that action. if Austin Seibert misses a kick at any point this season, you will be eliminated regardless of if your pick makes it through the week. If Seibert actually does not miss a kick all season, I'll let you pick an av and title - either for me as punishment, or for you. You have until 8:15pm on Monday to change your mind. :toxx: , just for good measure.
