New Twists for 2008
This season of Our Sick Game will feature a few new sick twists. For the first time ever, a bonus will be given to a team that can record three deaths in a calendar month. Recording a "hat trick" will earn the lucky team a bonus of 10 points. No extra points are earned for any more than three deaths, however, as it is a one-time bonus once three deaths are reached in a calendar month.
A twist on the popular insurance feature will also be introduced this season. Beginning on the first day of October, a team can voluntarily remove their moneyball designation if it is still in play. For example, if S.V.D.'s Tony Snow is still alive on October 1, 2008, S.V.D. can take away his moneyball status. The catch is that double-points will automatically go to the next player to die from either team. This so called "pull the goalie" move could be a huge strategic play for a team trailing in a close contest. But having an empty net could also result in the other team putting the game away with an uncontested, double-valued death. It is truly an innovative and creative addition to Our Sick Game.
Finally, the popular Survivor Series is back and the rosters have been increased to 15 per team. That'll make it even harder to earn the points up for grab at season's end.
