Yes, it certainly does read complicated, but then again when I was doing it I had a spreadsheet to run the system. It really isn't that hard....the problem is more in trying to explain it, than the complexity of the system. But that doesn't matter. It would be difficult to do on a message board format for sure.

Here is Scott's idea simplified: I. What You Do Each week you rank the teams that are still alive according to how confident you are they will win the Super Bowl, starting with "12" for the most confident team, "11" for the next confident, etc. No need to pick any winners per se. That's it. Couldn't be simpler. II. How You Score You get points for the confidence value you assigned to the teams that won that week. In addition, you get points for the confidence value you assigned to those winning teams in past weeks. That's it. Couldn't be simpler. ===== Example: Picks for Jeff (assuming four teams remain) 12 Atl 11 Bal 10 Chi 9 Den Actual Results Bal def Den Chi def Atl I get 11 points for Bal and 10 for Chi for winning, equals 21 points total. Final Week Picks 12 Bal 11 Chi Actual Chi beats Bal I get 11 points for Chi winning this week. I get 10 points for Chi I assigned last week as well, for a total of 21 points this week. That's 21+21=42 points total. - Jeff
