We're returning for an eleventh consecutive season with MORE bang for your buck than ever before so pay attention what needs to be discussed here as this thread is NOT the launch but more about biting into the snag than selling the sizzle.
First up, it's a new season meaning a NEW LOOK with the branding / design. I've already received feedback with top left and bottom right getting alot of the LOVE. Feel free to throw in your 2 bobs worth as I collate the consensus votes attained from legitimate feedback. (Yes, I've tweaked the bottom left design from the initial selection).
Have spoken at length with JD last night to get more clarification of what direction we can take up our glorious NFL tipping comp another notch.
Three major topics have arised from our discussions:
1. Separating the CR comp as a STAND ALONE meaning more entries = Likely bigger prize pool
2. During BYE weeks, the highest CR value cranked up to 16CR = eliminate 1-2-3 CR values (vote pending)
3. Sven-Gate trigger of 'changing of selection' with confirmation pop up window.
I'd like to INFORM everyone that the $40 Subscription stays as it has been for the last 9 seasons.
With the CR comp being a STAND ALONE, JD suggested that this move can only HELP the AE campaigners for BONUS pay-outs (discounted pro-rata entry) along with increased prize monies in the other FIVE comps.
Be aware that two logins would be required for CR Stand -Alone as it doesn't relate to your AE comps scoring.
Gridiron Warrior has informed me about his network of 100+ wanting to participate meaning it's a going to either be SPLIT Leagues or a ALL-IN- CR cash grab.
Preferably I'd like to KEEP it all-together packaged as a SIX n' ONE comp. But I am open to a VOTE which will expand the CR competitiveness meaning that a 60% minimum majority MUST apply to the change of either CR values increase during bye weeks or/and CR stand alone comp will apply.
YOU will get TWO votes on four options. I'll leave this POLL OPEN until the 31st of JULY.
No correspondence will be entered to as the DECISION to go stay with the Six comps of the last two seasons.

DROP ZONE ELIMINATION
HOT STREAK
HIGH ROLLER SWEEPSTAKES
The comp 'HIGH ROLLER SWEEPSTAKES' will remain with the AE package meaning that if the 60% vote passes, the highest CR total from the AE17 member/s will only qualify and not the CR stand alone competitors.
I anticipate we may lose 15-20 AE packaged members if the 60% passes but that's ok, 60 will be sufficient to compete.
JeffDunne has suggested we make way of the minimal CR value during BYE weeks and start from 16CR as the MAX CR each week. This has a DOUBLE EDGED SWORD connotation, folks. The likes of peterbuch74 may embrace it because TWO CR titles says plenty OR he may not be too keen to have his 2011 highest CR record score smashed.
Last season, there was some controversy (in the ND play-offs) with a decision given in favour of SVEN who initially selected the Cowboys against the Buccs in the late game. The fact that SVEN ventured back into the AE website to check his selection and allegedly accidentally triggered the Buccs button just before kick-off. Upon checking the time and immediate posting by Sven to alert me into checking the circumstances and 'REAL TIME' of the score in the Bucs vs Cowboys game, (Scoreless first Q), I gave him the benefit of the doubt.. cut a long story short >>>
JD will look to install a 'Confirmation button' after you've logged back in to make changes to 'be SURE' you want the change.
So without further ado, please submit your TWO OPTION VOTES before the Deadline of 31st July:
Also JD will look to add an instant PAYMENT button for Paypal for the AE subscribers. I'll confirm by PM / email upon recieving. I'll wheel out the AE17 Launch thread in mid-late July.
