I am running this on 2 boards, and because I love my CPA friends just as much as my fellow Buffalo Bills fans... I figured I'd invite you folks to play as well. I ran a similar game for the regular season... But I will include you folks as well for the playoffs.
This is a game to buy and sell shares of NFL stock, with the goal of making the most money....
Whose stock are you buying?
Rules:
Each team has a price set for it - based on their performance over the regular season. You may purchase as many shares as you'd like - we won't be doing "trades" per se like we did in the regular season. Each Player will have $150 to spend on shares.
Anyone may join, whether you played in the regular season or not. You can get into the market with your $150 at any time by sending me a PM. Prices will fluctuate based on teams performances in the Playoffs.
Because we don't have "trading", I will adjust each shares price each weekday based on it's activity - so that shares getting bought will go up in price while those not getting bought will go down.
Because this is the playoffs, and winning is everything... Wild Card games are worth $5 (+5 for win, -5 for loss), Division Games are worth $10, Championship games will be worth $15, and the superbowl will be worth $20 a share.
So, this will obviously get to be all about picking good teams. There will be no selling of shares once bought, but if you have reserves, you may additional shares - once the initial buy period is over, there will be 1/2 share per player available for each team in additional buys.
Other Rules:
No partial shares will be allowed.
All share prices will be whole dollars (I will round up any fractions).
Any money not spent on shares is held in your "reserves".
Reserves do not get interest.
There are no taxes.
There are no capital gains.
Just like Wall Street, the prices I list for teams will be the last traded price. If a teams shares aren't all owned their prices will fluctuate based on performance.
A win by a team generates a dividend/share going to your reserves.
A loss by a team nets a loss/share from your reserves - if you have negative reserves you will have to sell a share of something to pay on Monday.
Dividends and losses are only paid/charged for shares owned prior to the game.
Data Updates:
Each Monday, before opening, I will post what each share last traded for.
Each Monday, I will show how much $ each player has, and their shares owned.
We'll see who has the most money at the end of the playoffs.
Any Questions? PM me your orders for actual shares by Friday.
As I stated, there are initially no limits on shares available - unlike the regular season - next Monday there will only be shares available = 1/2 of the # of players.
Opening Prices:
I based these prices on $10/share + w/l ratio (i.e. Indy was 14-2, so they get +12 and cost $22)
Team - Price
Team Price
Carolina $16
Chicago $16
Cincinnati $16
Denver $20
Indianapolis $22
Jacksonville $18
New England $14
NY Giants $16
Pittsburgh $16
Seattle $20
Tampa Bay $16
Washington $14
Good Luck! I am be offering a $25 prize to the victor.
