General Steemit League Overview
The strategies employed by the participants has varied greatly! Some teams have opted to load up on players whose team had a bye in the first round hoping they go further in the playoffs, while other teams played the best players in the Wild Card matchups. This week, if your player's team won and they play him again this week, you will receive a 2x bonus for his performance. So if Tom Brady scores 20 points and you sat played him last week, he will receive 40 points this week even though he scored 0 points last week.

Yeah, the x2 x3 is throwing me a little. Regardless, I wasn't too impressed with my picks last week, heh.
How can I explain it a little better... Let me think!
Last week I played Tom Brady at QB and the patriots had a bye week so he scored 0 points for me. This week though, he has a 2x multiplier. So if he gets 20 points for the week, the 2x multiplier gets him 40 points.
On the other hand, let's say Cam Newton was your QB last week. He got 24 points for your team. The panthers lost so you must pick another QB this week. Say you pick Tom Brady this week and he scores 20 points (same as above) your score for that week will be 20 points.
I'm sorry, bro. I understand how it works, just not how it will best work for me, hehe. Thanks for the detailed explanation though.
Hoping playing some players that had by weeks didn't put me too far behind... I guess its just good I'm not in last!
As long as those teams keep winning you will be in good shape
Definitely switches it up with the multiplier. Need a big win from the Vikings this week. Make or break week this week with a lot of people going NO heavy.
Yeah that is the biggest matchup of the weekend in my eyes! I am pumped for that game!!
Absolutely man I'm buzzing to watch it thats for sure!
