ARE YOU READY FOR SOME FOOOOOOTBALL???
Hey Folks!
It's PICK 'EM time!
If you played last year, it's basically the same, except the payouts may be tweaked a bit. If you haven't played with us before, YOU SHOULD JOIN, it's a lot of fun.
Entry fee is $50.
We all pick every NFL football game of the regular season. NO SPREAD, it's a simple "who will win." Each week you also pick the total number of points in one of the Monday Night games as a potential tiebreaker.
It couldn't be much easier. Heck, Stacey picks winners every year by how much she likes their shoes, and she does quite well.
The payouts are as follows :
- $25 to each weekly winner;
- $25 to overall 3rd place at the end of the regular season
- $75 to overall second place
- rest of the pot (it was $425 last year) to the overall winner.
THESE NUMBERS MAY BE TWEAKED PENDING TOTAL NUMBER OF PARTICIPANTS. You will have an option to drop before first week if you don't like the final payout structure. But it will be something akin to what's shown above.
Please also note:
- picks lock up five minutes before each day's FIRST GAME
- if you miss a week, you get the lowest score someone else received minus 1—so you stay in the running for the overall season title
- tiebreaker is total points scored in the MNF game. If there are two MNF games, the second one is the one that counts.
All payments will be via PayPal. YOU MUST PAY YOUR ENTRY FEE BEFORE FIRST GAME TO PARTICIPATE.
To join, simply ask for an invite by emailing me at zknower {at} earthlink [dot] net with "PICK 'EM" in the subject line. If you played last year, you should have already gotten an invite. But you can also just email me with the words, "I'm In!" and then go to our pool's homepage, which is here.
New or old, use PayPal to send $50 entree fee to zknower {at} earthlink [dot] net.
All payments will be via PayPal.
YOU MUST HAVE A PAYPAL ACCOUNT TO PLAY.
YOU MUST PAY YOUR ENTRY FEE BEFORE FIRST GAME TO PARTICIPATE.
Please specify "friends and family" and use your PayPal balance to avoid being charged a 3% fee. If you decide to use a credit card to pay, send $52 (extra $2 to cover the fee). But you will need to set up a PayPal account anyway to receive winnings during the pool.
