NFL Suicide Pool Payouts and Round 2

So when I started this pool, I figured it'd amuse me until Thanksgiving.  We didn't even make it to the first day of Fall without losing 59 of the 63 entries.  Which, when you think about, is a low number.  Week 2 was an unmitigated disaster - teams that were favored by 6 or more went an astounding 0-4.  I'm guessing that win parlay paid around 125/1 or something stupid.

First, for the people still in - my favorite UK fan, my dad, my uncle, and...

Here are the payouts for Round 1...

1st - $750

2nd - $400

3rd - $110.12 (someone couldn't trick PayPal out of the 4.4% commission)

Also, here's the week 3 pick form for you four jerks...

Week 3 Pick Form

Now, for everyone else, uh, let's try this again.  I think it's a little late to jump in for week 3, so we're gonna start with a new pool starting Week 4.  New pool starts Week 4!  Got that?  Week Four.  Which week?  That's right, four.  Entry form is below, all the rules & entry fee from last time apply.  Good luck chumps...

2015 NFL Suicide Pool

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…

1. Margin of victory for your picks.
2. 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.
