    Ha! j/k Seems pretty clear to me. I think some of the folks on here didn't read this far, though:

    Don't worry about it. If there are some layups during clinker weeks, everyone will have the same layup opportunities.

    One suggestion and you probably thought about this: Since this is a pick-the-winner contest, you might not include the pt spreads. Just list the matchups and let folks do their own homework. Just my $.02

    There will definitely be a few easier ones during the first week, and you're correct that everyone will have the opportunity to pick them. The cool thing about this is there still will be some differential in where people pick them in their pick order. One of the "layups" might get upset, and although everyone picked them, some picked them as the 5 pointer, others as the 3 pointers. The people that had lower confidence in that game won't miss out on as many points. So although the scores for that week might be higher overall, there still will probably be some differential.

    Definitely not going to be listing the spreads. For one, the reason you mentioned. The other reason being that I don't want any confusion as to people thinking that they're picking with spreads involved. It's all about the winner!

    We are starting next week with week 1 or are we doing week 0 to start this weekend? I'm assuming next week but I don't want to miss the bus if I'm wrong. Lol

    Week 1. I'll be posting the game list for Week 1 next Monday or Tuesday (Probably Monday, because I'm excited).
