SCMB 2004-2005 NFL Pool!

Hello Slackers.

With new NFL season about to begin, SCMB NFL pool is making triumphant return. The rules are simple - every week, you submit the list of teams you think are going to win, plus one suicide pick to be used as a tiebreaker - a team you are 100% sure will win. Remember, you can't use the same team as a suicide pick, and if your suicide pick loses you are immediately out of the suicide portion of the pool.

FAQ.

Q: What are the prizes?
A: The prizes are: One year premium subscription for the winner and one year regular subscription to the runner up (subject to change).

Q: Great! So how do I play?
A: To enter, paypal chris@slackercentral.com $1 before 12:00 AM September 20th to enter (Subject: SCMB NFL Pool fee). Every additional dollar buys you 10 bonus points - thus someone who paypals Slakar $3 will receive 20 point bonus toward his final score. Remember, it's all for the good cause! (Or is it?)

Q: But I can't/don't want to pay! Can I still play?
A: Yes, but you will be ineligible for the grand prize and face a 50-point handicap for the runner-up spot. Considering that last year's winner had 179 total, it pretty much means you have no chance whatsoever to win anything unless you are the second coming of Nostradamus and everyone else suffers a catastrophic brain damage. Remember, everyone is welcome to participate, just don't expect to win anything unless you pay the humongous entrance fee of OMG ONE DOLLAR!!!!

Q: When is the weekly submission deadline?
A: 10 AM Sunday.

Q: When will the scores be posted?
A: Tuesday or Wednesday.

Q: Can I see how it went last year?
A: Sure.

Q: OMG, I have other questions!
A: Post them here!

Added 6/8:

Q: Wow, so using the point-buy, I can submit $6, get 50 bonus points and pretty much guarantee myself a $20 first prize! I am teh smartiest!

A: First, that's not really a question. Second, $3 is the maximum entrance fee.

I think I read it in the other thread, but is it possible for slacker to set up a form so we can pick the teams...maybe a radio button so we don't even have to type anything

yeah..... lol take the effort out of it


Also..., I understand that the suicide pick is just a team you think will 100% win in that week... but what do you mean that you cant choose the same team twice.... all season? so if you take the rams as your cant lose team in week one you cant take them in week two or for the rest of the year for that matter?

SALACKAR... OMG I NEED CHART!
