A NEW KICKER ELIMINATOR HOST? IN MY DEAD FORUMS? IT'S MORE LIKELY THAN YOU THINK! Most of the time, we hate kickers. In this game, we love them through all their faults. Look pals, we're two days away from a fresh NFL season and I didn't see a kicker eliminator and I fuckin' need one in my life. Therefore, I'm stealing Infidel Castro's thunder and posting the thread this year. I've never run a forum game in my life so bear with me as I take on this challenge and shamelessly rip the following ruleset (with a few minor changes) directly from Infidel's OP because I'm a trash goblin with no creativity. What's a Kicker Eliminator? Back in 2013, IcePhoenix decided to spice up the Eliminator idea by making one revolving around the most unappreciated of positions: the lowly place kicker. Here's how it works: Every week you select an NFL kicker. If they make all their field goals and extra point attempts, you keep playing! Any other rules I should know about? 1) You must select your kicker before kickoff of the game they're playing in by posting in this thread. 2) Once you have selected a kicker, you cannot use them again. 3) If your kicker doesn't attempt a kick that week, you're eliminated. 4) In the last three weeks of the season, a kicker may be picked by no more than half the remaining players. Can I change my pick? Sure, as long as neither kicker's game has started. Do NOT edit your posts to change your kicker. Do not edit your posts period, please. I'm figuring out how to run this game on the fly for you fine folks and in the interest of not ripping my hair out of my scalp, I'm not going to be sifting through every post to double-check and see if you edited yours. It's a simple game for simple folks. Try not to pick an injured kicker or, God forbid, a kicker on a bye week. I thought about changing the rule to making it so you couldn't change your pick at ALL, but that's not really fair to everyone considering how day-to-day things are in the NFL. So how do you win this thing? Simply be the last person standing! There are a few things to in keep in mind: - If all remaining players are eliminated in the same week, they all move on to the next week. - If more than one player is still standing by the end of week 17, the winner will be determined by a tie-breaker. In order of highest to lowest priority, they are: * Longest FG made the entire season from a kicker the week they kicked for you. * Total points of all kickers the week they kicked for you. * Total touchbacks of all kickers the week they kicked for you. * Total points in each individual week counting back from week 17. ....and new, for this year, a bonus game for ELIMINATED PLAYERS!  Kicker Roulette -Eliminated players still pick a player every week but with a twist - you add a number next to their name -That number will represent the potential yardage of a field goal your kicker might hit that week -If your kicker boots one that EXACT distance, -Hitting the jackpot will summon you back to the land of the living and you will be back in the game again - -You can only hit the jackpot once before the kicker gods tell their pit boss to escort you out, and casino odds means extra points don't count. you'd just add "ROULETTE:" in front of your kicker pick and your entry will be shaded a different color on the scoreboard to track your status so we can still determine the real eliminator champion at the end of the game as well Current List of NFL Starters (as of Week 5) ARZ - Phil Dawson ATL - Matt Bryant BAL - Justin Tucker BUF - Steven Hauschka CAR - Graham Gano CHI - CIN - Randy Bullock CLE - DAL - DEN - Brandon McManus DET - Matt Prater GB - Mason Crosby HOU - Ka'imi Fairbairn IND - Adam Vinatieri JAX - Josh Lambo KC - Harrison Butker LAC - Caleb Sturgis LAR - Greg Zurlein MIA - Jason Sanders MIN - NE - Stephen Gostkowski NO - Wil Lutz NYG - Aldrick Rosas NYJ - Jason Myers OAK - PHI - Jake Elliott PIT - Chris Boswell SF - Robbie Gould SEA - Sebastian Janikowski TB - Chandler Catanzaro TEN - Ryan Succop WSH - Dustin Hopkins Results: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1lzCKfzxXwYyYp7Gm4cKhw1e2CEts6l16eywKcTul05w/edit?usp=sharing Get ready to lose, suckers. barnold fucked around with this message at 04:56 on Oct 9, 2018 |

Updated list of starting kickers and link to the results spreadsheet is now up in the OP. Bear with me on the spreadsheet - first time doing this and I will definitely gently caress up at least once through the course of the season. I have no idea how previous hosts handled marking each kicker's results, so I'll be doing it by hand.
