930 Survival Football Pool - 2009

[sweetcell]

folks in the $100 dollar have to participate in the $5 bet... do $1000 high-rollers have to participate in the $100 pool?

[Seth Hurwitz]

everybody is in the $5 pool

anything else are sidebets as well

No, but if they wish to play in the $100 pool they should put an asterisk next to their name.  There is no need to mark yourself for the $1000 pool - we know who those two are....

[sweetcell]

one ATL, one SEA, two SDGs... otherwise it's aaaaaalll BAL or NOR.  i forecast a high survival rate for week 1.

apparently Yahoo likes my pick: this screenshot was taken about a minute after kickoff and it's already been labeled "correct"

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.

not sure if you sent this or not, but i didnt get it

can you email where you want me to paypal it

I second that question concerning how we pay for the survivor league.  I'm assuming you'll just send a yahoo league email.  Is this correct?

Thanks!

[vansmack]

I have updated the groups message board with payment information.

Nobody. However for those that stayed up last night to watch the Chargers/Raiders game, San Diego almost knocked people out in the first week for the second year in a row.

This was the first year I wasn't knocked out in the first week.

[vansmack]

I should have done this earlier, but don't forget to make your pick for this weekend...

[vansmack]

At or near halftime of the early games, and the entire pool is either losing or tied....

[sweetcell]

dammit, green bay.  what a horrible way to end it.  so close.

can i bill their offensive line for my lost $105?

[Seth Hurwitz]

ok...me & ggw...extreme ultimate death fight to the finish

[godsshoeshine]

Ouch.  And for the third straight year, our fearless leader can't get past week two.  I've been thinking about how to handle the playoff between Seth and GGW - nobody wants to see a tie.  I can set up another pool (but I can't control for your first and second round picks) or you both can email me your pick before kickoff Sunday and I'll share them at kickoff on Sunday morning so you're both aware of each others picks.

Picks
 
7 - Washington
5- Green Bay
3 - Minnesota
2 - Tennessee
