I really want to get in on this but I need to do my research and Ive got a plane to catch tomorrow afternoon for more than one family obligation. Worst case scenario, I'll try and send in a randomly selected list Friday morning.

Worst case scenario, I'll try and send in a randomly selected list Friday morning. If Friday's deadline is a problem for you, I'll make an exception in your case and give you until Monday, 27 Feb (I doubt it'll affect the contest at all...worst case scenario you lose out on picking a team that would've got you points). There have been teams in the past that folded a week before the season began, but not too many right after the first week, so it shouldn't be an issue.

This is a great and fun idea. Just don't want to offend any fans, players, organizations or leagues. I hope all teams complete their seasons!

I too would love to see all teams in every league complete their seasons each and every year. Unfortunately this is not going to happen. We might as well poke fun at them with this contest and maybe less owners without sufficient funds will think twice about starting a team with not enough capital, but I doubt it. I'm way past feeling guilty about something like this, if the sport hasn't improved after all these years it probably never will.

Today's the last day, except for CM916 (who has until Monday), to join the contest.
Join now before it's too late. This contest will become a lot of fun as teams start to struggle to stay alive. I won't root for teams to go under, but at least now we have a consolation prize of sorts.

Ok, having a little fun with this, I collected all the point values and came up with who's most likely to fold collectively (see the list below).
Sin City comes in at #1 (I guess no one buys that Vegas can be successful in indoor football), Stockton (Cal) comes in at #2, WPA #3, Ari #4, and Mis #5 in the Top 5.
8 AIF teams were picked, which led all leagues (no shock there). Next was UIFL & APFL with 6 each , CIFL with 5, and PIFL & IFL with 4 each. No LSFL teams were picked, kind of surprising.
59 Sin City BlackJacks (AIF) 47 California Eagles (AIF) 42 Western PA Sting (UIFL) 33 Arizona Outlaws (AIF) 32 Mississippi Hound Dogs (UIFL) 28 Ontario Warriors (AIF) 27 Virginia Badgers (AIF) 26 Cheyenne Warriors (APFL) 26 Rome Rampage (UIFL) 23 Cape Fear Heroes (AIF) 23 Evansville Rage (CIFL) 18 Colorado Lightning (APFL) 17 Chicago Vipers (CIFL) 17 Florida Tarpons (UIFL) 16 Macon Steel (AIF) 16 Lakeland Raiders (UIFL) 13 Carolina Force (AIF) 12 Indianapolis Enforcers (CIFL) 10 Alabama Hammers (PIFL) 10 Allen Wranglers (IFL) 9 Richmond Raiders (PIFL) 8 Saginaw Sting (CIFL) 7 Eastern Kentucky Drillers (UIFL) 6 Port Huron Patriots (CIFL) 6 Sioux City Bandits (APFL) 4 Oklahoma Defenders (APFL) 4 New Mexico Stars (IFL) 3 Knoxville Nighthawks (PIFL) 3 Mid-Missouri Outlaws (APFL) 2 Columbus Lions (PIFL) 1 Cedar Rapids Titans (IFL) 1 Everett Raptors (IFL) 1 Council Bluffs Express (APFL)

Out of all the contests I've ever played, this is the one I most want to win. Cue evil laugh: Mwa ha ha ha.

Thanks for putting in the time to break that down! It's fun to see how the fans rate certain teams (and leagues) in stability. BC, I'll bet you a $10 lunch gift card that I beat you though.

You're on!
Yes, it is interesting. Some of the choices made me scratch my head, but never say never I guess.

Never say never is spot-on but I like the saying 'I knew I should've picked them'. Which you'll be saying while placing a first-class stamp on my lunch

LOL...I like your confidence. I think the one weakness with your picks is the lack of AIF teams though (they are definitely the most unstable league IMHO). I think next year I'll make it mandatory to pick at least 2 teams from each league and up the total to 15 teams to pick and rank. I think that tweak would make it even more challenging. We have to come up with some tiebreaker rules now, can't believe I didn't think of it earlier. Anyone got any good tiebreaker ideas for us to vote on and adopt?
