930 Survival Football Pool - 2009

[Julian, Alleged Computer F**kface]

I'm in if Seth's in. I like to make sure I won't finish last.

I'm interesting in joining. I play 3-4 fantasy leagues of each sport every year. Who do I send the $5 to?

I'll send the payment instructions out soon via the league address when registration closes, but it's paypal or snail mail to me.

screw it, i'm in

There's a change this year on the site.  You have until the 4:00 O'Clock ET game to make your pick (it used to be kickoff of the first game).

Might pick page currently says:

"Deadline to submit pick: 9/13/2009 1:00 pm PDT"

Not sure if this is a week one thing or not, but we can go by that this week.

$1000

ouch.  seth plays hard.

unfortunately i'm not in an income bracket that allows me to gamble $1000.  well, not all at once.

[Julian, Alleged Computer F**kface]

$1000

Sorry, I'm not in a position to sell Stoli + cranberry for $8.

That said, I will challenge you once again to a one-on-one suicide sidepool: my $100 up against a +1 VIP balcony upgrade.

The "settings" page on our Group site says the deadline is Sunday at 1:00PM EDT.

Also, based on the language of my Deadline Reminder e-mail, it sounds as though the deadline is set at the group level.

"Hello ggw1357,
If you have not yet made selections for this week's games, you must enter your picks before your group's selection deadline passes or you will be Eliminated."

$1000

O.K.

DAYUM!

This is awesome.  Oh, and I'm totally not in becaue $1000 rhymes with divorce in my household.

Checking that now.....

I have two options:

(1) 5 minutes before start of first game or (2)  1 PM PDT.

Anybody have a preference?

[ggw]

(1) 5 minutes before start of first game

[vansmack]

(1) 5 minutes before start of first game

That really kind of screws up Thursday game weeks....

And yes it says EDT not PDT.  West coast bias....

Right now I'm leaning towards leaving it at Kickoff of the first Sunday game unless GGW is the majority and not the minority.

[vansmack]

Actuallythe more I think about it, High Stakes should rule.

If Seth and GGW want 5 Mins before first kickoff, then so be it.

But decide sooner rather than later so I can get the message out....

[sweetcell]

i like 1 PM PDT (4 EDT).  in fact, i'm in favor of letting folks pick any game that hasn't started yet, i.e. any time before kick-off of monday night football... in case someone pulls an eros.
