Welcome to the 2021 version of the Summit County Viking Memorial Pick ’em. For the newbies, we generally play 14 games a week in the weeks I can count that high accurately. We also have a Game of the Week where you pick and winner AND take a guess at the total points scored. This total serves as the weekly tiebreaker.
We try to work in as many Summit County teams as possible but based on the schedules your team may get skipped some weeks. Games are much easier to come up with early in the season. We occasionally go to nearby out of county schools (Aurora, Wadsworth, Highland, etc.) to come up with games and preference is given to competitive games. In Week 1 Hoban gets left out because they are playing a club team (Bishop Sycamore) on a Thursday night and Stow gets left out because they are playing an overmatched Cuyahoga Falls. I hope the Black Tigers prove me wrong.
At the end of the season, we award the regular season winner then move on to the playoffs where we award the playoff winner. At the end, we also recognize an overall winner. We are implementing a new rule this year where the prior year’s winner (brian1227) is responsible for presenting the winners with large cash prizes and/or electronics out of his own pocket.
This will be our 6th year of competition without Viking. God rest his soul.
