Eliminator is back for its 13th season! Welcome back emails have just gone out! And I managed to have it say 2015 instead of 2016. Oh well.

What is eliminator?
A free game I've been running in SAS/TFF since 2004. It contains survival mode, pick'em, reverse and spread variants, and has a fake money betting mode called funbuck that allows spread, moneyline, over/under, and parlay betting. Why aren't you playing it?

Pick your teams!

Games
-Eliminator
-Reverse Eliminator
-Spread Eliminator (bet against the spread)
-Reverse Spread Eliminator (because why not)
-Pickem
-Reverse Pickem
-Spread Pickem
-Reverse Spread Pickem (also because why not)

We've also got group support! Group owners can set their groups to be public/private, control the game types that are allowed, and email invitations to users.

There are leaderboards for every game type and every group, so there have never been more chances to show how bad you are at picking NFL games!

Worst Bloodbaths Ever!
2004 Week 9
First year of eliminator and very few bets, but the Giants and Chiefs went down and when the smoke cleared only 25% of players were still standing.

2005 Week 1
The game that made me swear off Rams bets forever. 4 complete seasons since and not once have I bet on that cursed team.

2006 Week 7
Cards and Jags combined to break the hearts of well over 100 people. 29.76% remained.

2007 Week 10
Damned Saints! This was the year the Saints had suddenly become good. Unfortunately the ghost of Archie Manning put a hex on the team and they went down, taking 76 brave souls with them. (The hex was made more powerful by Archie not being dead.) 27.86% survived.

2010 Week 16
The latest mass elimination in the history of the game. 6 of the top 8 teams (ordered by # of bets) went down in flames and only 20.9% survived.

2013 Week 10
Jaguars beat Titans. Whoops. 15.49% made it through.

Week 2 of last season was quite a bloodbath as well, most of the guys in my group (including myself) had the Saints at home over Tampa.

Got the email, am excited about the new season.

I havent followed teams through the pre-season, so I want the safest eliminator choice. Seattle Week 1, correct?

Fixed. If I wasn't so lazy I'd fix that race condition considering it's been present for 4 years now. But I am lazy.

Also it turns out I forgot to turn on the cronjob for funbuck line updates until just now.

Reminder emails should go out tomorrow!

Best eliminator pick this week has to be Seattle right? Like, there's no way they lose at home to the Dolphins at home...right?

I think its the best pick but week 1 is always so scary because what if ryan tannehill turned into dan marino during the offseason.

Dead? That's what they want you to think.
Week 1 you need to hang some onions fellahs.

If you guess wrong, well gently caress it, try to pick losers for the rest of the season.

Giving this one a try, always saw this game being run and thought it sounded fun. Way harder to find the team you think will win week 16 in some shitbag division. Actually, are the bets locked in before the week, or all 17 at the start of the season?

Start of the week. Although there's nothing stopping you from trying to do the ultimate and pick all 17 in Week 0. Don't think anyone has ever done that and succeeded.

A Seahawks/Dolphins bloodbath in Week 1 would be incredible.

Holy gently caress, I can't believe I survived a bloodbath. How good it feels to be one of the 12.3%.


Sadly I blew it two weeks later by taking Oakland, who lost 20-22 to da Bears

For those like me who don't want all their eliminator eggs in one basket, the Patriots are a decent pick for reverse. Dolphins should be big underdogs multiple times this year, but not the Pats.

I was gonna do this as well, but I just couldn't bring myself to bet against them. I think they're gonna lose, but I also don't want to be out week one because I counted out Touchdown Tom Gridiron Garofalo.
