The Entrants
The Analysts have submitted their papers and claimed their Home Teams to start the new season. The Claim Box for PC-Fecta Derby VII is:
Slate of Games
The Slate of Games for PC-Fecta Derby VII includes seven head-to-head competitions during the month (the first tiebreaker in the race), but Leg 2 may prove to be key as an open sprint with 13 games and no head-to-head competitions!
In Leg 1, the clubhouse turn, we kick off the season with Wise Orangutan’s Blotches visiting the Rav-ing Big Tuna in Baltimore and the pirate who stole the Bucs, Little Tuna, challenging the fleur-de-lis, Sponge Mom. In Leg 3, the near turn, Atwork Packs-up for the Big Easy to contest Saints-ly Sponge Mom, while The Strategist leads her First Nation against Big Tuna’s Nevermores. Down the home stretch, Leg 4, the competition heats up as Wise O. attempts to expose the Brown-stain on the chaps of Woody’s Cowboys, Craft Brew tries to Steel-ers a win from Kate-TDid’s Buccaneers Titanic-disappointment, and Jimmy V marches Patriot-ically against The Strategist’s Custer-Busters.
Home teams owned by an Analyst are in bold. The team at the left is the visiting team; the team at the right is the host (playing at home). There are many featured games: two Thursday nights (TNF), all four Sunday nights (SNF), and all five Monday nights (MNF – a first!).
None of the Home Teams are on a bye-week during PC-Fecta Derby VII!
Picks
Remember: Every Analyst has a bias for his or her Home Team and may NOT pick their Claimed team to lose. Analysts do not have to pick his or her Home Team to win, but *bonus* trifecta points are won only if Analysts include the Home Team in a *base* or *lame* Trifecta. See the Derby Rules for more.
Email picks in private to The Bookie before each Leg (week) of the Race. Thursday games are due by 2pm on Thursdays (flexible per The Bookie’s time in special circumstances). All Sunday and Monday Picks are due on Saturdays at 2pm. No Picks for games after kickoffs are accepted.
No revisions (Re-Picks) are possible after the Picks have been released to all Analysts by The Bookie.
