TL&C NFL Playoff Pick’em Challenge - Kivu - 01-12-2024
TL&C NFL Playoff Pick’em Challenge
TL&C will be running a pick’em contest for the 2024 NFL Playoffs in this thread. In a pick’em contest, basically all you do is choose winners for each of the games happening in the upcoming week. I’ve added a few things, bonuses mostly, that will hopefully make it even more fun.
On Wednesdays for the remainder of the NFL season, I will open the submissions for the week by posting a message that will list the games you’ll be picking winners from and the weekly question.
If you have any comments, questions, or concerns please feel free to reach out to me or Quebec on Discord (Username in my forum signature).
Good luck everyone!

Scoring
- Two points for picking the correct winner
- One point for picking a team that loses in overtime
Bonuses
- Solo Bonus: Being the only person to pick the correct team to win. Worth 4 points
- Lock Bonus: Each week, you choose the team that you are most confident will win. However, here's the catch: you can only designate a team as your lock once. For example, if you picked the Bills in week 1, you cannot choose them again for the remainder of the season. You earn 3 points if your Lock Team wins, but you lose 3 points if they lose.
- Perfect Game Bonus: Selecting the correct winner and scores for both teams in any game. Worth 5 points
- Question Bonus: Each week a random question about the upcoming week’s games will be asked. Worth 1 point, if the question is answered correctly
