Indoor Football "Dead Pool" Challenge
Pick ten (10) teams that you think will fold during the 2012 indoor season, give them point values from 1-10, and receive points when that team goes under. Indoor Football leagues available to pick from will be the IFL, APFL, LSFL, PIFL, UIFL, CIFL, and AIF.
The definition of folding for this contest will also include teams dumping the majority of their regular players and bringing in replacement semi-pro players to finish out the season. If the dumping of players is in question, a ruling will be decided upon by a conference between Banana Cat and CF4L (any other possible disputes will also go before them to hammer out a ruling). If a team qualifies for the playoffs and declines to go, that will also be considered as folding.
This contest begins when the first indoor football regular season game begins (right now that is the 19 February game between the Bloomington Edge at the Chicago Slaughter). If a team folds between now and when the regular season begins, everyone will be asked to amend their rosters and eliminate said team if they had them on their picks. The reason is to give any person wanting to play ample time to sign up between now and when the season begins.
When a team goes under, you will receive the points value you assigned them to your overall score. Whoever has the most points at the end wins.
