What are Bankrupts? This is the right time to ask features and additions (if possible). Something like the formula "...If anyone here knows, ... speak now or forever hold your peace”.

Donnie,

Bankrupts is an inversion of the Ultimate Game. The goal is to put together the worst possible perfoming slate that you can come up with: the lowest total box office, PTA, Top 5 and imdb scores. The stipulations are that you must maintain a full slate (8 films) and you must spend at least $95 of the $100 budget. This generally forces you to choose at least one potential blockbuster and keeps things interesting. In the past we simply took the price list for Ultimate and set up our league to play for a three month season at a time (I didn't want to burn out the gimmick). It occurs to me though that if your interests are Theoretical or Experimental Economics and -- I'll take a leap here -- Game Theory, Bankrupts may be an interesting tie-in to your current studies.

But it's fantastic! I want play a Bankrupt league. Very Happy

I plan on doing a bankrupts ultimate and box office in January (or whenever its computerized) as part of my H.O.R.S.E. league (a bunch of different styles of play). You can join one or both of the games if you'd like and not have to sign up for the entire league.

This is the tentative schedule (a box office and an ultimate for each month):
JAN-MAR Bankrupts
FEB-APR Hobo ($50 tospend instead of $100)
MAR-MAY Shorthanded (6 films max in ultimate, 5 films max in box office)
APR-JUN Odd/Even (pick odds/evens and every film on the slate must be an odd or even number)
MAY-JUL Normal ULT and BO

If you want to try out any of those, you can as well.
