PC-Fecta Derby II – Slate of Games
The Entrants
The Analysts have selected their Home Teams to start the new season and the entrants for the PC-Fecta Derby are:
Slate of Games
The slate of games for the PC-Fecta Derby included 4 head-to-head competitions this month (first tiebreaker)! Kal Krome’s Seahawks face The Strategist’s Rams (week 1), Minds Blanks’s Packers (week 2), and B-Reezy’s Bears (week 3). Also in week 1, Minds Blanks’s Packers head to B-Reezy’s Bears.
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 lots of featured games: two Thursday night, two Sunday night, and three Monday games.
The Patriots are on a Bye in week 4 – Little Tuna will not be able to earn PC-Fecta *bonus* points that week.
Picks
Remember: Every Analyst has a bias for his or her Home Team and may not pick the sponsored 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 winning trifecta. See the Derby Rules for more.
Email three picks to The Bookie before each leg (week) of the Race. The first picks are due on Wednesday, September 9.

Season II Preparations
To start the new season, The Bookie needs to know who is keeping their end-of-year horse and who is seeking to trade-up ponies. At the end of the regular season, the Analysts had these steeds:
The Bookie – Colts
Big Tuna – Broncos
Kal Krome – Seahawks
The Strategist – Rams
Little Tuna – Patriots
Minds Blank – Packers
Wise Orangutan – Chargers
The starters rarely play in the fourth game of preseason, so here are the key dates to start the new season:
After Preseason Week 2 (August 24) – Announce if you are releasing your current team.
After Preseason Week 3 (September 1) – Select a new team.
After Preseason Week 4 (September 8) – Send the Bookie your share of the Purse for the year
For Analysts who relinquish teams, new teams will be selected in reverse order of last year’s season standings:
1) Little Tuna (3 Trifectas, 32 Correct Picks) – coin flip if necessary
1) The Bookie (3 Trifectas, 32 Correct Picks) – coin flip if necessary
3) The Strategist (4 Trifectas)
4) Wise Orangutan (5 Trifectas)
5) Kal Krome (6 Trifectas, 34 Correct Picks)
6) Big Tuna (6 Trifectas, 35 Correct Picks)
