How does this work? What is the goal? If I have to pick a winner, I will pick Columbus? If I have to pick a loser, I will pick St. Louis.

You pick a winner for the game. We do it every Saturday until we have a winner. Once you pick a team, you can’t pick them for the rest of the challenge. We use goal differential as you get the tiebreaker for the first pick when we get to the final two people.

I totally forgot your strategy for this until just now.

Sounds good! If you don't mind me joining at this time, I will go with the Columbus Blue Jackets to win this Saturday, since I will be at the game! If I am not allowed to join at this time, I will use this as a practice and learn session.

You are in! Glad to have you.

You are in! Glad to have you.

Thanks! Next question. If I lose this week, am I done for the season, or do I get to pick next week again? Basically, is it a cumulative game, or just trying to get down to 1 person who never misses a pick?

If you miss this week, you are out for the remainder of this challenge, however long it lasts. Normally, they don’t last more than 3 or 4 weeks. Once this one is done, we’ll do a new one, and every one can join again.
