Summer is winding down.
That sucks b/c it’s going to get cold soon. However, it’s great because we can all stop
pretending we care about baseball and focus on entertaining sports, like
football. Last year, we did an NFL wins
pool. That did ok, but it just wasn’t
exciting enough. So let’s head back to
ol’ reliable, the Suicide Pool (or Survivor Pool if you prefer). Yep, no terribly fancy bells or whistles
here… Except the tiebreaker of course.
Rules
- Pick one team a week to win their game outright. If you choose correctly, congrats! You live to fight another week. Choose wrong, and it’s GAME OVER MAN.
- You may only choose a team ONCE throughout the season. Look, any idiot could pick against the Browns every week (except their bye) and laugh all the way to the bank. Sorry, you can’t use the other AFC North teams twice each.
- Picks will be submitted via a Google Form I post to our world famous blog (tourneypools.blogspot.com) as well as emailed out once I have wrangled up all the email addresses for participants. The first week form will have a lot of questions (name, email, blood type, the usual stuff) so I know who to pay and how to contact you. Subsequent weeks will just ask for your Entry Name and your pick. Here is the Week 1 entry form.
- Entries will be $20 each & multiple entries are allowed. As usual, the easiest way to pay me is PayPal to tourneypools@gmail.com. If that is a bridge too far, find me and give me money/a check.
- Entry deadline each week will be prior to the kickoff of the Sunday 1 PM ET games. Picking any Thursday/Saturday games is fine, but those picks must be in prior to their actual kickoff for them to count.
- It is YOUR RESPONSIBILITY to know which entries have which teams still alive & to submit entries on time. I will not babysit you. If you submit an entry using a team that you have previously used, or you fail to submit an entry prior the 1 PM ET kickoff of Sunday games, you’ll get the biggest favorite for the Sunday/Monday games based on the lines at http://www.bovada.lv, which is the website I use to check lines.
- I will be maintaining a leaderboard with all selections that you will be able to find a link to on our world famous blog (tourneypools.blogspot.com) once I have put it up.
Payouts
- 100% of the pool will be paid out & we will pay out the number of entries based on the number of participants.
- Payout structure will be announced sometime between week 1 and week 2 & will be posted on our world famous blog (tourneypools.blogspot.com).
- There are no ties at TourneyPools, if we can help it. Here’s the tiebreaking procedure in the event that we have multiple people go out the same week and have finished high enough to get paid…
- Margin of victory for your picks.
- Margin of yards from scrimmage for your picks. (Offense only, no special teams or turnover returns or whatever else you can think of.) If this is somehow negative for a week, it will be rounded up to 0.
- If the tiebreaker rules are confusing, no worries, I’ll be tracking them on the leaderboard.
