League of Legends

A few years ago I had an idea for a 5 game pickem called Iron Clad 5. I created the website but got bored with the idea. Now of course we have a year long LEAGUE OF LEGENDS where Iron Clad 5 makes perfect sense. So without futher ado I re-introduce the IronClad 5 a second time. Each week legends will pick 5 hand-selected NFL games. I am still trying to decide if this will be a straight pickem or if legends will pick against the spread. If I can find an easy source to parse that has the spread odds information then we will go that route. If not it will be a straight pickem.

Legends, I just had an idea for a new NFL Pickem. Each week I will select 5 NFL games. Legends will then select the winner of the 5 games. We may even play the spread. So you pick a team to cover the spread, etc. I am thinking scoring will be 20 points per game for a maximum of 100 points per week, 1700 possible total points. Thoughts? Maybe kick it up a notch and make games worth 50 each for a total of 4,250. Maybe that is too much...?

Feast your eyes legends on the the new LEAGUE OF LEGENDS trophy of champions. Big thanks to Evulmonkey for donating the trophy. Each league leading legend will be enshrined on the trophy.

Yahoo Fantasy MLS League is garbage. jcomp found MLSsoccer.com has a fantasy league as well. At first glance it is mile ahead of Yahoo. We are trying out the league this weekend with plans to probably move the league to MLSSoccer.com. If you want to try it out this weekend give it a go. URL: http://fantasy.mlssoccer.com/ League Code: 28046-5323 Go to Leagues, create and join enter the code. Some cool features. You can autopick the team right off the bat. Nice feature. Then you can back fill the players you want. Captain - you can assign a team captain. This player's points are doubled. I thought this was pretty cool. Anyway give it a go and get signed up. If all goes well then we will abandon the yahoo league for the new MLSSoccer.com league.

Anyone think the Mayweather v. Pacquiao fight is worth too many points. Right now as it stands we are looking at 1000 points total. Perhaps that is too high for a single pick, but this is a pretty big fight in the boxing world. We are looking at 700 points to pick the winner and 300 points for the victory type. I am willing to tweak that should enough legends think that was too high for the fight.

If anyone finds a cool scoreboard out there on a web site let me know. I'd like to redesign the League of Legends main scoreboard as well as the scoreboard for each LOL game. Right now the game scoreboards are extremely basic and kinda boring.

NBA Playoffs are starting this weekend. The playoff picture will be set after the games this evening. I will have the matchups updated and ready for picks tomorrow. Be sure to get your picks in before Saturday's cutoff. Scoring System NBA Playoffs will be scored as follows: Points are awarded for each correct series winner pick. Round 1: 50 Points Round 2: 100 Points Round 3: 200 Points Round 4: 300 Points Round 4 is the Championship game. If you have an awful round 1 you can still score points in the later rounds. You can participate in whatever round you wish to participate in.
