NLL Survivor 2006 - Part Deux

Rules:

1. To register, make a pick by the first deadline.

2. You must make your pick in this thread by 5pm on the day of the first game of the week.

3. You may only pick each team once.

4. If you pick a team and they lose, you are eliminated. If you pick a team that plays more than once, you must either indicate the game to intend for them to win, or it will be assumed you mean their first game of the weekend.

5. Do NOT edit posts in this thread. If you want to change a pick, make a new post. Any editted post will lead to disqualification from the pool.

6. If we look to be heading into the last week of the season with a chance at having a ton of people still alive, I will announce the rules for the final week then.

[wingslax]

Well I was knocked out week 1 last survivor pool... lets try again. :o

I say Portland gets the W (Sat vs. AZ)

[Wings2Go]

I will give this a try:
for the following game - Edmonton San Jose Sat, Mar 11 10:30 pm I will take San Jose

[Mr Boo]

The "You may only pick each team once" throws a very interesting wrench into it. I will have to do some schedule analysis before posting my pick for this week!

[thwingfan]

I'll take Arizona over Edmonton on Friday night.

[WingsfaninMA]

A fair warning to all ... I suspect what I will do in case of a last week of the schedule situation is ask you to pick as many games as you are capable of picking in order, then just going down the lists until only one person is still alive. Everyone plays that last weekend, but depending on how you pick in the previous 5 weeks, you may not be able to pick 6 games.

[Wolfman]

I will take San Jose in the Edmonton VS San Jose game on Mar 11

[Mr Boo]

My pick for week 11:

Edmonton Arizona Fri, Mar 10 9:30 pm -- Arizona

[WingsfaninMA]

Poor Edmonton ... ;-)

[The_Vukster]

Edmonton San Jose Sat, Mar 11 10:30 pm

I will take San Jose...and probably be out in week 1 of Part Deux :rotfl: .

[colt46]

sorry that was uncalled for.

[likewall]

San Jose over Edmonton on the 11th

Glad to see my picking the Stealth doesn't look like a homer move, since half my competition is doing the same.

[Corporal]

I will take Rochester over Philadelphia on Friday March 10th.

[The Doctor]

AZ over ED on March 10

[trooper]

How ironic is it that the game I really wanted to pick last time but didn't have the guts to do so is up again for part duex? (and I would have been a winner that week if I picked it :mad: ) Do I go for it this time or do I play it safe again? (Trooper play it safe? :confused: ) Points to ponder.

Nope, not going for that game. I'm going to take Colorado over Calgary.

[WingsfaninMA]

[WingsfaninMA]

Unlikely yes. Impossible, no.

[The_Vukster]

This is the NLL. You won't find more parity than here. Any team can win on any given night.

[The Doctor]

The only sure thing anyone can say about this weeks picks is that one of these two will be saying goodbye to this contest once the weekend is over.

[The Doctor]

[wingslax]

[RockFans]

Guess I will take my 9-2 lead in the third quarter and go home. :rotfl: Thanks Chad.

[KrazyKewl]

Looks like I'll start up this week's Survivor pool with my pick:

Toronto over Philadelphia.

I was looking to save them, but their next two games are going to be tough.

[The_Vukster]

With Edmonton off this week, we should see a variety of picks.

I'll go with Rochester breaking out of their funk this week to beat Minny.

[The Doctor]

ROC over MIN

[jstraw80]

I second that,
Rochester over Minnesota.

[wingslax]

hmmm... I'm gonna go Calgary over Az on Saturday.

[Great_One]

Buffalo over Colorado

[likewall]

Toronto over Philly

[JSap]

Minnesota over San Jose

[WingsfaninMA]

laxtreme has until 5PM today.

[Laxtreme]

Toronto > Philly

[WingsfaninMA]

OK ... lots of people still alive. Since this is the last week, you must pick as many games as you can, in the order you want them. Remember not to pick a team you already have.

For example, if I had Philly, Buffalo, and Toronto left, I might pick:

1. Toronto over Rochester
2. Philly over Buffalo, Saturday
3. Buffalo over Philly, Friday

What I'll do is look at everyone's #1 pick, and the ones that are right will move onto round 2. Then I look at the #2 pick, and so on until there is a winner.

[The_Vukster]

I assume you are saying we MUST take all of our non-picked teams in a game this weekend?

I have already picked SJ CA CO PO RO, so I MUST pick, AZ, BUF, MN, EDM, PHI, and TO in games for this coming weekend....even if I don't think they will win, correct?

Philadelphia < Buffalo Fri, Apr 14 7:30 pm HSBC Arena

San Jose < Arizona Fri, Apr 14 9:30 pm Glendale Arena

And I hope it doesn't go this far....

Portland < Minnesota Sat, Apr 15 8:00 pm Xcel Energy

Buffalo < Philadelphia Sat, Apr 15 8:00 pm Wachovia Center

Edmonton > Portland Fri, Apr 14 10:30 pm Rose Garden

Toronto > Rochester Sat, Apr 15 7:35 pm Blue Cross

[WingsfaninMA]

You prolly want to take them all just to give you the most rounds of picks. Just pick them from most likely to least likely.

[The Doctor]

Okay, I'll go first. That way if I screw this up (the way I did it not the predictions) you can tell me early and I can correct it:

NOT ELIGIBLE TO BE USED:

ARZ
CAL
COL
POR
ROC

GAME PREDICTIONS IN ORDER OF PREFERENCE:

TOR over ROC (Saturday)
PHI over BUF (Saturday)
BUF over PHI (Friday)
SJS over ARZ (Saturday)
MIN over POR (Saturday)
EDM over POR (Friday) :rotfl:

NON-ELIGIBLE GAMES:

CAL vs. COL (Friday)
COL vs CAL (Saturday)
SJS vs ARZ (Friday)

[wingslax]

Ok my picks (or attempts at them) :confused:

Toronto over Roch (4/15)
SJ over AZ (4/15)
MN over Portland (4/15)
AZ over SJ (4/14)
Edmon over Portland (4/14) :eek:

[KrazyKewl]

Alright, lets see if I did this right.

1. Portland > Edmonton (FRIDAY)
2. Arizona > San Jose (Friday)
3. Rochester > Toronto (Saturday)
4. Minnesota > Portland (Saturday)
5. San Jose > Arizona (Saturday)



6. Edmonton > Portland (Friday) :o :rotfl:

[JSap]

Here we go (I think I got this right!):

Portland > Edmonton
Toronto > Rochester
Philadelphia > Buffalo (Sat.)
San Jose > Arizona (Sat.)

[Great_One]

1. San Jose over Arizona (Sat, Apr 15)
2. Toronto over Rochester (Sat, Apr 15)

[WingsfaninMA]

Still need picks from jstraw, laxtreme, and likewall

[The_Vukster]

Wow...hopefully TO will continue to struggle when visiting the BCA at Rochester. Looking at the picks, that'll put myself and KrazyKewl in a great position.

[likewall]

So many picks to make a nerdy statistician cringe, oy, here we go:


1) Rochester > Toronto on 4/15
2) Buffalo > Philly on 4/14
3) Minny > Portland 4/15
4) Philly > Buffalo on 4/15
5) Arizona > San Jose 4/14

and... my sleeper, as is for everyone else

6) The mighty Rush become 2-14 by beating Portland on 4/14

[Laxtreme]

Edmonton < Portland Fri, Apr 14
Arizona > San Jose Sat, Apr 15
Portland < Minnesota Sat, Apr 15
Philadelphia > Buffalo Fri, Apr 14
San Jose > Arizona Fri, Apr 14

[KrazyKewl]

So it looks like most of us are going to get murdered by the Edmonton game, since we had to pick Edmonton.

Then again, I don't think the Edmonton game should count for my pick, seeing as how I had picked Portland as my first choice to win.
Does it?

Krazy, even though you picked both Edmo and PDX to win in the same game, since you picked the Jax far ahead of the Rush, I do believe just by my late night lookin that you have won. But, since this ain't my contest to run, I'm probably waaaaaaaay wrong. If you did win though, congratulations and good picking.

[KrazyKewl]

Thanks likewall!
The same goes to you, and the rest of us late-rounders!!!!
Last night was tough.

[likewall]

Knowing the rules for the super round will definitely alter my picks for next season. Last night, except for the Portland-Minny game, I would have gone to the 6th round losing only the edmo game.

[WingsfaninMA]

Krazy Kewl was the only won to get 3 rounds correct, so he is the second survivor winner of the year

Congrats :)

[KrazyKewl]

Thanks Wings!
I did my best, as did everyone else!
And, just to let you know, I'm not a guy...... :rotfl:
No biggie though.
haha.

[WingsfaninMA]

Sorry about that :o

[KrazyKewl]

haha, no worries.
I'm used to it.
After all, this IS the internet.
You never know who's on the other end!

You never know who's on the other end!Hmmm...wanna go out for a drink some time? ;)

Just kidding. Congrats on winning part two! If I had only switched round 3 and 4 picks....
Good work though!

And thanks to you WingsfaninMA for running this!

When does the Last Man Standing Playoff Pool start? :D

[KrazyKewl]

Hmmm...wanna go out for a drink some time? ;)
haha wow. what lacrosse can do for a girl, eh!?!

Just kidding. Congrats on winning part two!
Thanks!!
It was all luck, that's all. haha.
Luck and Portland Lumberjax/Brodie Merrill. haha.

[The Doctor]

I made it to the last week in both Survivor 1 and Suvivor 2 but alas no sip from the Champions Cup for me in either case.

Congrats, KrazyKewl.

Great job, WingsfaninMA. Thanks for running this contest.

See you next year.
