930 Survival Football 2013

[Julian, Bespoke SEXPERT]

As a relatively unbiased non-pool participant, I absolutely think a tie should kick you out and have sent a multi-page letter to the NCAA before highlighting the absurdity of them computing "winning percentage" with ties counted as some nebulous half-win. It's a passion issue of mine.

sooooo... we doing this again?  any interest out there in a survivor pool? 

we could start in week 2 or 3 of the season, since it's probably too late to get this ship sailed in time for the season opener in 3 days.

how does it work

how does it work

You pick a team you think will win that week. If they win, you move on to the next week. If they lose/tie, you are out. Cannot pick the same team twice in one season.

yeah, so am i, but i'm not sure how many others are.  more fun, and more money, if we get a bigger group together... options for smack-talk are much better

it sounds simple enough, but its surprising how quickly you run out of "sure winners" and/or those sure-winners fail to live up to expectations.  we rarely make it past week 8.

there are three pools: $5, $100 and $1000.  you must participate in the $5 pool, the others are optional.  whoever survives the longest in each pool gets that pool's pot.

I'm in as long as ggw is collecting and distributing moneys.

I had to relinquish my Commish-ship after the great PayPalgate debacle of 2013.

I for one welcome our new French-Canadian overlord.

[crevers]

I'm in for the 5 & 100 pools, as usual.

as the fantasy football managers know, i am a strict and fair tyrant.  i do it for your own protection.

i'll set up the league this afternoon.  if we get enough responses before 3 pm'ish to make this a viable league we'll start in week 1 so chime in, folks.  otherwise we'll start next week.

Any chance of the small dollar pool upped to $25 or so?

[DeathFromAbove1979]

I'm in for the baby pool!
