2nd Annual NFL Pool for the Moderate fan (5 Spots left)

Come one, Come All!! Sign up now for the 2ND ANNUAL NFL POOL FOR THE MODERATE FAN!!

Last years tournament was successful and this years should be twice as fun. I know many of the members here will be participating in an office pool or maybe even the pool here on CW, but many of those get into point spreads and drafting and a lot of statistical stuff that is great. This is a more simplified pool, boiled down to a basic winner/loser style. Each week you pick the winning team in each game.


Here's how this will work:

NOTE - WE ARENT USING YAHOO THIS YEAR. WE HAVE SWITCHED TO ANOTHER SITE WHICH WILL INCLUDE THE PLAYOFFS

POOL SIZE WILL BE CAPPED AT 20 PLAYERS. 5 SPOTS ARE STILL AVAILABLE


We'll use Yahoo again like last year. Once they activate the site, I'll set up a group and give the info out to anyone who wants to play. Everyone will register over at Yahoo (LINK ADDED LATER) hopefully using the same (or similar) handle that you use here.

Each week, check the site and make your picks. Just login to the site and pick that weeks games. You'll have until 15 minutes or so before the game starts to make your pick, but you may also pick the whole season at once if you want to do it that way. Yahoo does all the math and stats for us. You'll be able to see how you match up against everyone else in the pool. There is also a message board function for taunting other members and the like.

Send Cigars. At the end of the regular season the winner will be announced. The Yahoo site ends its tracking at the end of the season, so that's when we'll have our first winner. Prize package will be 5-10 primo smokes, cuban or non-cuban, in good, smokable condition. NO NEED TO SEND CIGARS UNTIL THE END OF THE SEASON. Prize packages will go directly to the winner once the season is over.

Playoffs. Since Yahoo doesn't do the Pickem for the playoffs, We'll run that offline. Last year we worked it out through email and it seemed to work fine. We'll setup a game plan for that once we have the players and it gets a bit closer.


RULES:

3 months and 50 posts. This pool will be for CW members who have been here at least 3 months and have a minimum of 50 posts. The post minimum is subject to waiver if posts are quality and member has good trading comments, etc.

Sending 5-10 Cigars. As mentioned above there is no need to send cigars at the beginning of the season, or at any point for that matter, until the end of the season. Cigars will be send directly to the winner - address will be emailed to the group. Cigars should be sent in a timely manner - it won't be a surprise that you have to send out cigars...you have more than 4 months to get ready for it. The cigars should be quality sticks (5-10). If you want to send cubans that is fine, but it is not required. Just make sure you don't send the winner any dog rockets. These should be good cigars. Winner ends up with depending on how many players we get 50-100+ cigars. I won last year's regular season pool and i was swimming in cigars.

b]Have Fun.[/b] That's mandatory in this pool. There'll be taunting, gloating, side bets, and more. All is in the name of fun, this isn't a pool to really take too seriously.
