Hope everyone is having a great summer… nice that we had the benefit of the Olympics this year… always incredibly inspiring. Excited to hopefully have everyone back and welcome any new additions! While I ceded the crown last season, I fully intend to take it back this go around and keep the majority of entry fees.
As a refresher… Weekly Pick Sheet page is where you find the weekly pick sheets. This is an old school, excel based pool which continues to add to its allure. Having said, with the help of Kyle we may enter the 21st century very soon with online pick capabilities. For now, make sure that you email your pick sheet to me (hyperlink to my email on that page as well) ahead of first kickoff for the respective week. If you get in a bind, at least send me your pick + points for the first game (i.e. Thursday night game) + fill out accordingly when you submit. Ideally get all your picks in ahead of the first game but understand life happens.
If you’re new to the pool… check out the Rules page. Pretty straightforward confidence pool but a couple twists and turns worth noting. “Wager Game” of the week is double points (correct pick) or negative (waa waa waaaa) based on your allocation… these are generally the picks that create separation so be prudent. The pool goes all the way thru the Super Bowl and all post-season games are wager games which adds to material late season swings.
If you suck, you have an opportunity to reboot and jump into a side pool (no additional cost… just less reward) beginning Week 12. Everyone that jumps ship will transfer into the side pool (aka “Hot Tub”) and those respective scores reset to 0… side pool winner takes all from that point on. There’s a reminder on the top of the Week 12 pick sheet where you’ll make the election one way or another at such point in time (drop down option in the file which lets me know your verdict).
You also need to pick the teams that you think will matchup in the Super Bowl on the Week 2 Pick Sheet (selection drop down towards the bottom of the Week 2 pick sheet)… bonus points awarded for correct picks which can also make a significant different between being in the money or not.
The info above is also shared on the Rules page but that’s the speed read if you just want to get to it. Entry fee is $25 for the season… PayPal/Venmo work great but paper currency and checks also accepted. Look forward to another crazy season together and having football back! Wish everyone good luck!!
