Confidence Rating NFL Tipping: Regular Season
The Main Prize Money comp. Each week the AE15 member shall deem to select his/her selections via the official AE website (coming soon- August), the winner of each NFL regular scheduled season game with a confidence rating of 16 (most confident) to 1 (least confident). Total score from each of the CR values from the winning teams selected will determine the AE member's weekly points output. In the event of TIED games (after OT), NO CR points will be credited.
KICK-OFF 'scheduled' TIME for each game is the deadline for submitting your selection for most regular season games but there are times when games which have a time change due to late season re-scheduling or a natural disaster occurring, then the deadline will be the new allocated timeslot.
THURSDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL will be regular feature on this seasons' schedule which means FRIDAY MORNING for Australian fans.
For the first time in Online AE history (but not limited to AE history) there was a DEAD HEAT for first with both veterans ISLAND BOMBER & SUPERFREAK sharing the CR spoils to become joint winners with the highest score of 1515.
NO SHOWS / DEFAULT PICKS:
As per last season, the AE Tipping website will be PRE-SET to ROAD TEAMS as a DEFAULT for everyone with the 1 to 16 CR value running in numerical order sequence: 1 for TNF up to 16 or whatever the highest CR value on that given week is, for MNF. (Yes, I know Week 1 has two MNF games… the last game played will be 16CR FYI)
This Pre-set concept means if you forget/ overlook to submit your weekly picks, you'll already KNOW you have the ROAD TEAMS as a default with the 3XKO teams from the last games of the week being the SNF, MNF and another late Sunday game (if applicable to your 3XKO survival status).
In depth understanding of the 'LCS/ ND/ HRS' stipulations >>> READ THIS link

3XKO (pronounced Three Strikes Knockout or 3KO)
Managed by BGT2110.
This next competition is a Knockout format. A three chances contest where you start with selecting 3 teams who you expect to WIN in Week 1.
To qualify for the following week, you must have correctly predicted at least one winner of these three teams. Elimination of the 3XKO contest comes in a process of THREE STRIKES against your name. A X strike counts against your name each time you lose a chance which includes a tied result.
Default 3XKO picks for your weekly selections submitted, if overlooked, shall be the last three games of the week being notably MNF, SNF and the most western located venue game of the late Sunday games.
NOTE: NO restrictions on taking same winning team in back to back weeks due to default of road team employed this season.
Note: If there is an abundant of 3XKO survivors (8+) in December, sanctions such as TWO or THREE TEAMS to be selected to fast track the culling process. Week 16 will amount to a play-off OR showdown depending on the participants remaining.
Last season's 3XKO was the SIXTH time in eight seasons a SHOWDOWN was required with the veteran and inaugural CR 2007 champ SodaPop claiming the glory over the 2012 Ripcord Bowl Champ, Tannehill17 .
NEXT DUEL

HOT STREAK Managed / Concept by Broken.
NEW COMP this season which replaces the Last Chance Saloon.
HOT STREAK will be an ongoing all season comp which starts from Week 1. It's simple yet challenging.
The aim is to pick consecutive 'selected' winners from weekly games of the regular season.
YOU determine WHICH TEAMS. Any strategy can be used. Not obligated to pick in any given week.
Selected teams MUST WIN (no ties permitted) to keep the consecutive win streak going.
The competitor with the longest (hottest) streak of consecutive winners picked will claim the prize at the end of the regular season.
NOTE: The listed weekly order of games will dictate the sequence to whether where the streak is broken. Jeff Dunne will endeavour to list the games from early game (1CR) (Thursday Night - 1pm Sunday) to late 4pm games - SNF - MNF.
You may select up teams from kick off time of game/ or when starting time of games has been delayed for some season.
If any controversy arises regards in 'the order of games'.. deemed from the ALPHABETICAL ORDER of the HOME TEAM (city name) of the starting allotted game time. As per the NFL.com listing.
ie: Week 1 example:
HIGH ROLLER SWEEPSTAKES
Each weekly CR Highest Scorer/s will automatically qualify for the Week 17 Showdown sweepstakes.
All weekly Scorers throughout the season will contest the Week 17 Sweepstakes in which Highest SCORE* collects from the season qualifiers.
If any participant attains Highest score on more than ONE occassion during the regular season, they will be REWARDED with a *Bonus 7 points to add to their Week 17 score for this Sweepstakes comp only. *Not applicable to any other comps of AE15.
LAST ROLL OF THE SWEEPSTAKES DICE for Finalists of 2014.
The wash up after all was said and done.
