GMs of both TBL and TBL 2,
We will again incorporate the members of TBL and TBL 2 to compete in the Big Leagues Sports NFL Draft Pick'Em Challenge for 2008! Invites are being sent out to by email.
Each GM that participates will be awarded 10 BLB's in their respective leagues. In addition, the following BLB awards will be given to the top 5 GM's from BOTH leagues, based on the final results:
1st place = 50 BLB's
2nd place = 40 BLB's
3rd place = 30 BLB's
4th place = 20 BLB's
5th place = 10 BLB's
(Tie's will split the combined awards, i.e. if there are two (2) teams tied for 3rd place - those two teams will share the 3rd and 4th place payouts, or 25 BLB's each)
This is another great opportunity for GMs from Both leagues to earn BLB's for their franchises and compete against one another in the NFL Draft Pick'Em Challenge. For GMs that are members of both TBL and TBL 2, you can only enter once but will be given the BLB awards in both leagues.

Rules of play:
The objective of this Challenge is to accumulate the most points (see "Scoring" below) over the course of the 1st round of the 2008 NFL Draft. For this game, the first 15 available draft positions from the first round will be used. Points will be awarded based on how accurately you predict the order that players are selected, regardless of the team which chooses the player. Keep in mind that teams often trade their picks with other teams during the draft. It is important to remember that it does not matter which position a specific team is picking, but rather that you successfully predict the actual order that the players are selected.
Scoring:
Points are awarded based on the accuracy of the selection. Maximum points are awarded for players correctly selected in the correct order position in which they are drafted. For correct picks in the wrong position, points awarded will get incrementally smaller, based upon how close the Entrant's selected order position is to the actual order position of the Draft. This holds true for all selections within your top fifteen (15), even if the pick falls outside the actual top fifteen (15). For example, if the player in your 14th position is drafted 17th, you would still receive two (2) points. It is important to note that points are awarded based on actual draft position and not by the team that drafts the player.
Points are awarded in the following manner:
Correct Pick = 16 pts
1 Pick Off = 8 pts
2 Picks Off = 4 pts
3 Picks Off = 2 pts
4 Picks Off = 1 pts
5+ Picks Off = 0 pts
ALL entries must be time-stamped as sent by 2:30 PM (EST) on Saturday, April 26, 2008, or thirty (30) minutes before the scheduled start of the 2008 NFL Draft, which is currently scheduled to begin at 3:00 PM (EST) on Saturday, April 26, 2008. Any entries recevied after that time will not be accepted.
Watch your email's for more information on how to submit your picks, as this may be a manual effort if ESPN.com does not host this year's NFL Draft Challenge again.
