2022 NFL Playoff Survivor Pool

 Man, how great was 2021?! COVID in the rearview mirror, everything opening up, life back to normal, it was so great, right?!?!?! Well it was for like... June. So I guess 1/12th of a good year is better than the 0/12ths we got in 2020, so let's strive for one good quarter this year, huh?! And it's that first quarter of the year where your favorite Survivor Pool blog reawakens, much like a grumpy bear exiting a months long hibernation, to feed on our desires for some real action and stakes to satiate itself. Ok, no more silliness, let's get on with it!

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

Nothing changing since last year. I know I do the "a game a day" but I'm not making Wild Card weekend borderline impossible b/c the NFL threw a Monday game on there. We'll just be picking two Wild Card games still.

The Basics

- Each weekend, you pick 1-2 teams depending on how many days there are games that weekend.  If you're team(s) 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 weekend (2 games), divisional playoff weekend (2 games) championship Sunday, and finally super bowl Sunday.  Plan accordingly!

Entry

- Cost will be $20

- You may buy only a maximum of THREE entries - HOWEVER, if you lose an entry prior to the final deadline on Wild Card weekend (which is the 8:15 PM ET Sunday game), I'll allow you to continue purchasing entries, throwing good money at bad, to your heart's content, so long as you have no more than THREE active entries at any given time. (So yes, before you can even submit entry #4, you'll have to have lost #1, #2, or #3. An entry is "lost" once a single game is lost on an entry.)

- Easiest way to pay is, as usual, via PayPal or Venmo.

- 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 15th, 2022. 

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!
