I do not completely understand the NFL system, but I like to learn it.

Nevermind. I have decided to quit playing instead. Angry

Basically in the interest of creating parity, the NFL has a very specific way of scheduling. You play the other 3 teams in your division twice. Then you are assigned an AFC division and an NFC division that you play against. Then for your last 2 games, you play the teams that finished with the same rank as you in their division within your conference. For example:

I am the Patriots. I play the 3 AFC East teams twice (6). Then say I play the NFC North and AFC North for example. That's 8 more games. Now, let's say I won my division last year. My final 2 games will be against the division winners from the AFC South and West.

The idea is that I have 2 harder games then the others in my division. In turn, the last place finishers have 2 easier games because they get to play last place teams. This is one reason why there is usually 1 or 2 NFL teams that have a big improvement each year if they were fortunate to play an easy division and a last place schedule (and possibly get crushed in the playoffs). The fun thing for outwitters is that it might allow a lower ranked player to get a wild card slot because they will play more games against players close to their rank.

Perhaps we could just make up our own team names than. The important thing is getting the match ups right, based on the NFL system. Whatever name a player comes up with wouldn't really matter.

I don't really like that, not only because it would make it harder on my end, but also it goes against the spirit of the tourney.

RE: National Outwitters League [sign-ups open]
Tnx for the explanation. So before the play offs we play 16 games and have two cut off moments in order to determine whom to play against.

I am really curious (and excited) how this works out...

Yes so after 16 games, the 4 division winners with the best record get a bye. The other 4 division winners get a first round match with one of the 4 wild card teams. Sorry jchris. Not meaning to overstep. I'm just explaining the NFL! Lol

I think the idea of using the NFL teams is a good one, because then it's easy to look at the schedule and figure out who plays who.

RE: National Outwitters League [sign-ups open]
Jchris, so once you have the 32 teams filled, all 16 games start simultaneously? Or over a certain period of time?
