You pick a fantasy team for each week of the playoffs. For every consective week you start a player, their score is multiplied. 1x, 2x, 3x, 4x, so picking the winning teams is as important as picking the best fantasy players.

You should be able to search for the SDMB group and join, the password is cecil.

After joining the group, is your team listed twice? I see two entries for ‘FeartheDoper’ and racking my brain trying to fix it, when it may not be an error. I even created a whole new login and entry and it still shows my team twice (however the ‘Number of teams in group’ is correct). Does anyone else see two entries for me?

It shows two entries for me, but not for you, FtT. I think it’s an artifact of the software.

Thanks. I must have spent 90 minutes trying to fix something that wasn’t even broke!

Well, I have a lead, but it will be short lived. I’ve had to completely remake my team, with only Ray Rice being there. I’ll enjoy my one week on top, and relinquish my winning next week.

I got lucky with the Baltimore D (and Boldin vs Pats). I didn’t think Balt would go that far, and I just took their D on a whim. Really paid off.
