Less than a week until the season starts and nary a trace of a new kicker eliminator thread, the great idea IcePhoenix had last season. But it was so much fun that I guess I'll run it this year

A reminder of the rules

IcePhoenix posted:

With all the eliminators out there, I wanted to come up with something a little different. Something that can make even the biggest blowout meaningful. So I thought to myself, how about an eliminator that focuses on the most loved and hated guys in football? I've run Kicker Eliminator at another forum for the past few years and most people love it, so I thought I would bring it to all of you. So let's get started with the basics!

The Rules
1: Every week, you pick any kicker in the NFL. Once you pick that kicker, you cannot pick them for the rest of the season.
-1a: To clarify, a "kicker" for the purpose of this game counts as anyone who kicks the ball. You can choose to play a punter, a long FG specialist, or Wes Welker if you want to, but just remember rule 2 when doing so.

2: If that kicker makes every field goal and extra point attempt in their game, you advance. If they miss or do not attempt any field goals or extra points, you are eliminated

3: if every remaining player is eliminated in the same week, they will all advance to the next week

4: In the last three weeks of the season, a kicker may be picked by no more than half the remaining players

5: If no clear winner is determined by the end of week 17, we move to tiebreakers.

Tiebreakers
1 -Longest FG made the entire season from a kicker the week they kicked for you.
2 -Total points of all kickers the week they kicked for you.
3 -Total touchbacks of all kickers the week they kicked for you.
4 -Total points in each individual week, counting backwards (starts in week seventeen and goes back towards week one until the tie is broken).
5 -If it's even possible that I get to this step I'll figure something out and announce it before week 15.

Deadlines and picking your kickers
You must pick your kicker before kickoff of his scheduled game.
You may not edit your posts.
Once a kicker's game has started, he is locked in.
If you want to change your kicker, please do so in a new post with bold and italicized words so I don't miss it. As long as the timestamp is before your previous pick is locked in then it is fine.
Please don't edit posts, period. In the interest of fairness, any edited post that's during a time when a kicker could have been changed I am just going to eliminate you if any possible kicker you could have picked there missed a field goal.
In the interest of keeping things easy for me, please list the team the kicker plays for in your pick.

I'll probably give the winner a prize like an av cert or forums upgrade or something at the end, too.

Good luck!

I will be keeping a spreadsheet here of all the results

If IcePhoenix does indeed want to run it again, I'll close this thread and let him do it
