It’s approaching that time of year again, and I can’t wait! I am so excited to get back to football!
As always, Ryder will be running this pool once he shows up, I’m just getting the thread ready to provide plenty of time for those interested to prepare.
Like last season, there will be two separate competitions going on through the season.
There will be the regular Weekly Pool where you pay $5 to Ryder each week you play and we have a weekly winner. There will also be the Cumulative Pool run by me which has a one time fee of $10 and runs all season with one winner at the end. Rules and information for each follow:
The Weekly Pool:
If you want to participate in the Cumulative Pool, you must announce your intention to play and submit your entry fee by season kickoff. You can’t enter after the season starts, and you can’t back out once you’ve entered.
You can participate in either or both of these contests, they are completely separate.
New to the Pool this year, thanks to a suggestion by AE, in addition to playing through this thread we will also have an online group for tracking our results. Note however that this is only an aid to the pool-runners and not definitive in any way. Ryder has the final say in his pool and I have the final say in mine. This is just so if one of us gets behind in tallying results (or Ryder disappears part way through again ) we still have some indication of the standings. (Most notably, Ryder takes precedence over the site when it comes to the tie-breaker as our version is different than the one the site uses, so it may declare an incorrect winner.)
This is the site and this is our group. Password: thetoo
Register as soon as you can to make sure there are no problems joining.
Try to remember to make your picks both in this thread and on the site each week, but if you can only do one be sure you post them here. The picks in this thread will be the official record for both pools.
Let’s do this!
