Playoff Guilloteenies
A Playoff Guilloteenie begins with up to 5 teams, and for each playoff round, league results are determined by the cumulative points from each team’s starting lineup. After each round, the team that scored the fewest points that round is eliminated (or chopped) from the competition.
When a team is eliminated, its entire roster of players become free agents, eligible to be acquired by the rest of the league. There are no head-to-head matchups, which means there are also no win/loss records.
The last elimination round will be the Conference Championships, where the lowest-scoring team will be chopped, leaving the final 2 teams to compete for the top prize in the Super Bowl. You are limited to only one (1) team entry per league.
