2019 NFL Playoff Survior Pool Weekend 2

Last week was a bloodbath, going from 99 hopefuls to a mere 17 final contenders.  Good luck chumps!  This is the easy week, but remember you gotta practically pick the whole thing from here!

2019 NFL Playoff Survivor Pool




New year, new pool!  Not really new pool, but it's a fun one still, right?  And best of all - it only lasts like two weeks!

Hey man!  I did this last year.  Just tell me what changed so I can get on with my day.

The only big change is that all forms are now collecting email address and sending receipts back.  This should alleviate any potential pick issues and the deluge of "DID YOU GET MY PICK?!?!?!!!?" emails I tend to get.  So, if you think I got something wrong, SEND BACK THE RECEIPT!  Then, I'll fix it. If you didn't get a receipt, it didn't go through.

Also, You'll notice some clearer payment options.  I'd suggest using those to avoid any issues.

Ok, on to the rules proper....

The Basics

- Each day, you pick one team.  If you're team wins, congrats!  You live to fight another day.  If not, it's GAME OVER MAN!
- As with any survivor pool, you cannot pick the same team twice.  If you do pick the same team twice and don't catch it yourself, you're out.  If you do catch it in time, just resubmit.
- Picks must be submitted via Google Forms that I will both post here and send to participants once available.
- Due to how few possible combinations of selections there are, there is no tiebreaker in this game.
- The pool will be "winner take all," but I'm figuring there will be a few people there at the end, so everyone who makes it to the last day and picks the winner (whatever that is) will split the pot.
- Just in case anyone is unaware, there are a possible total of SIX games to be picked - wild card Saturday, wild card Sunday, divisional playoff Saturday, divisional playoff Sunday, championship Sunday, and finally super bowl Sunday.  Plan accordingly!

Entry

- Cost will be $20
- You may buy only a maximum of THREE entries
- Easiest way to pay is, as usual, via PayPal or Venmo.  
  • Venmo: @Philip-Crone
  • Cash/Checks: Get it in my hands or mail it to Oeffinger-Crone, 1601 Beechwood Ave, New Albany, IN 47150
- For those of you who still live in 1997 and are scared of computers and think everything that happened in that Sandra Bullock movie The Net is real, I guess you can find me and hand the money over.  If you choose this route, you need to do so before the kickoff of the first game, which is SATURDAY, JANUARY 6th, 2018. 

That's it.  As usual, feel free to forward this along to friends who may want to play.  If you have any questions, just let me know.  I'll use the same website (tourneypools.blogspot.com) for all updates.  Good luck all!
