I would just like to say gently caress Cam and gently caress me for being dumb enough to draft my team's QB. Still, best league I was in this year, you guys always bring it.

GG Blasting Tapes, I really thought I had you for a little bit. Who would have thought that benching AB84, my last remaining stud, for Tyler Lockett was the key to victory?

No doubt, I was pretty worried early when Montgomery and Tyreek scored right off the bat, thank God for Shady being Shady. It all came down to that last game and as Witten started to rack up the receptions I wondered if I had a chance. Well done.

Also, I'd vote to change the payout to 6/3/2/1 so that there's incentive to try to win the 3rd/4th place game.

Great idea -I think 6 boxes is a huge enough haul for the first place team, that the difference between 7 and 6 is worth adding intrigue/competitiveness to the 3rd/4th place game. More beer love being spread is a good thing.

Let me know if anyone has any major objections with that approach:

1st Place: 6 boxes
2nd Place: 3 boxes
3rd Place: 2 boxes
4th Place: 1 box

Highest PF: 1 box

Loser's Bracket Winner: 2 boxes

Did we figure out if MIA team Romo's Broken Neck Pilsner is participating in the BIFing or not? That may also factor into prize calculations.

I expect he will be, as he replied to my requests and began setting a lineup from that point forward. Everybody sent a box last year, so hopefully that trend continues!

I'm confused about the "loser's bracket" thing- are we talking about the "Consolation Ladder" or the "Winner's Consolation Ladder"? The consolation ladder doesn't seem to consolidate down to a single championship game.

Also is it only regular-season points, or is it points scored in general?

Regular season points, which is how we've handled it the last two seasons, if I'm not mistaken.

Theconsolation ladder is the loser's bracket, so no teams that made the playoffs are eligible. Looks like I messed up by not re-seeding correctly last week, so I went ahead and fixed the schedule, sorry about that guys - I don't think it changed anyone's ultimate outcome, luckily.

Basically, for Week 2 I pitted the 4 winners from week 1 of the consolation bracket against each other (top seed vs low seed), and the 4 losers from week 1 against one another. Winning teams from each set of 4 will face one another in week 3.

The Loser's bracket championship is this week - Malcolm in the Mitchell Steele vs. Gold for Watt Ales You, since they are the only teams to win their week 1 and 2 matchups in the bracket. Make sense?

Good game! I thought I had a chance if Ebron didn't do much, but Dallas held true and gave up yards to the TE. I would have been a reluctant champion if I managed to win due to Dallas sitting Dak and/or Zeke during Week 16, so I'm glad they played and it was a fair match.

Sorry for the delay folks, but here are your winners for the 2016 season - congrats all, and thanks for another great year!

I'll get the shipping and logistics coordinated in the next couple of weeks, so please hold off on assembling your boxes in the meantime. We typically give a pretty generous period for shipping, since unfortunately the fantasy season ends during brutal cold weather for certain parts of the country, and nobody likes frozen beer!

1st Place: 6 boxes - dphi
2nd Place: 3 boxes - Zam
3rd Place: 2 boxes - Avenged
4th Place: 1 box - Mikey Purp

Highest Regular Season PF: 1 box - Cervixalot

OK, I have everyone's info. I should have shipping assignments compiled and posted/sent out in the next 48 hours. Once assignments go out, please keep me in the loop once boxes have been shipped/received so I don't have to hound everyone.

OK, took a first pass at the shipping list, with an attempt to pair people from different areas of the country together. At least one of you indicated that you trade regularly with some other leaguemates, so let me know if there are any other similar instances on here that I can correct:

cervixalot -> dphi
Mikey Purp ->dphi
Baldrash -> Drunk Nerds

umop apisdn -> Drunk Nerds

With a total of:
Cervixalot 1 box
Mikey Purp 1 box

Drunk Nerds 2 boxes
dphi 6 boxes

Looks good to me. Weather in Colorado is supposed to be pretty nice for the next few weeks, so I may end up being able to get my beer shipped sooner rather than later, but I am thinking about tracking down a brewery release or two for the box, so we shall see. I don't reliably update my Untappd, but here it is in case it helps you out at all, Zam.

Should I have been given a shipping address for Zam? Because I haven't received any info, or else I missed it. Zam or 'vixalot, please pm me an address (and a preferences list, if it exists). I have been in Washington for a month, and I desperately want to share this Top Cutter IPA with someone

Shipping assignments have all been sent to the emails you provided to me in the survey. Please let me know if you did not yet receive - I provided Forums username, contact email, shipping address and any beer preference notes that were included.

Please coordinate with your recipient to ensure the timing of your send matches their schedule, and please do your best to select beer that they do not have access to in their local region. Seekabrew.com has a good chart to reference.

Each box should contain at least $50 worth of beer - and can be a mix of bombers/large format and individual cans/bottles. Growlers are cool as well, but take care in shipping. I recommend against shipping 4 or 6 packs - please try and deliver a good variety of different beers for your recipient to try. Mix-a-six can be a good option, and some bottle shops will let you break up packs.
