Welcome to Drunken Football Master 2024
How well can you pick the upsets?
How to Play
- Weekly Log-in: Each week, log into the Drunken Football Master website. You'll be greeted by the leaderboard, showing where you stand against your fellow players.
- Make Your Picks: Navigate to the selections page to see that week's games and power rankings. Choose the team you think will win each game. Remember, your potential points are determined by the power rankings of the teams you pick.
- Submit Your Selections: Once you've made your picks, submit your selections. Be sure to make your picks before the games begin!
- Watch the Games: Sit back, relax, and enjoy the week's NFL games. Root for your teams and keep an eye on the upsets.
- Check Your Points: After the games finish, your points will be tallied based on the outcomes and the power rankings of the teams you picked. These points will be added to the leaderboard.
Power Rankings
The power rankings are determined by the perceived strength of each team in the NFL. Each conference in the NFL has four teams, and these teams are ranked from best to worst:
- The best team has a value of 1 point.
- The second-best team has a value of 2 points.
- The third-best team has a value of 3 points.
- The worst team has a value of 4 points.
These rankings are determined by looking at various sources such as ESPN, NFL, and other trusted sports news outlets.
Playoff and Super Bowl Rule
For the playoffs, including the Super Bowl, the power rankings will shift:
- The remaining teams will be ranked from 1 point to 8 points based on their perceived strength.
- These new rankings carry through to the Super Bowl.
- This means if a team ranked 8 points makes it to the Super Bowl, picking that team correctly would earn you 8 points!
This rule adds an extra layer of strategy and excitement to the postseason games, especially if an underdog team makes a deep playoff run!
Leaderboard and Prizes
The leaderboard is the first thing you'll see every time you log in. It shows where you stand compared to the other players. This year, we're introducing a prize pot!
- Each player contributes $10 to the pot at the start of the season.
- At the end of the season, the pot will be distributed as follows:
- 1st Place: 60% of the pot + The Drunken Football Master Trophy
- 2nd Place: 30% of the pot + The Drunken Football Master Medallion
- 3rd Place: 10% of the pot
- Last Place: The honor of purchasing a beautiful beer mug for themselves as a memento of their "achievement" 🍺
May the best (or luckiest) Drunken Football Master win!
