Weekly NFL Pool : Week One (in Contests)

OK! Here is how this will work.

- Each week I will post a list of the weekly match-ups.

- Each person that wishes to participate will send 50k to NFL Pool

- Each person that wishes to participate will send a list of the teams they think will win to chargerz919@yahoo.com

- All entries are due by noon(server time) the day before the first game that week.

- All lists should look like this:
Team 1 @ Team 2 -- Team 1 (this shows you choose team 1 to win)

=============================================================

Prizes

1st Prize : 90% of the pool

2nd Prize : 10% of the pool

Whoops just read the email it to you part. Sorry about that.

It might be cooler if we did post though, because then we could how well the other competitors are doing as well.

lol... i doubt san francisco will win though.

Oh there's no statistics backing up my guesses.

I just kinda winged it, but yeah now that I think about it you're probably right.

lol, I also totally messed up the format of how I was supposed to post my entry.

How about you just disregard everything I've done and said so far Chargerz and I'll make an actual entry when I'm not half-retarded from lack of sleep.

i was going to put a table together with everyone's choices. =)

I was thinking about this, and biscuitback brought up a point. The tie breaker is now the total score of the monday night game, if there is still a tie after that, the score difference will be a secondary tie breaker. If there is still a tie after that, the pot will be split between all the winners.

Im in. Email Sent.
My choices were tottaly random , by the teams I liked more :)

You're probably right, but I have a vested interest in the Baltimore defense doing well and I'm sure not going to sell out on them now. :P (They're my defense in my fantasy league.)

Bast (Bartlett) to Chargerz-Back (NFL Pool) $50000 8:38 PM EDT

I have to rework my list -- my bookie laughed at me.

Can I play more than one list? Or are we limited to one entry per person?

one entry per person.

all entries due in 40 minutes!

woo hoo...

ARE YOU READY FOR SOME FOOTBALL!!!!

I'm pretty ticked off that I have to work during the game tomorrow, so football doesn't start until Sunday for me. Bummer!

These should all be right, double check you picks please. (just in case)

some people are missing some tie breaker points.

memnot, you picked against the Colts and are being punished by not being able to watch the season opener.

Ha, how true. I guess football doesn't start until Sunday for me... although I will be rooting for New England (particularly Vinatieri as he's my kicker in my fantasy league) via telepathy.

OK i feel really stupid since i have very little football knowledge :P

For tie breaker i guess ill pick 31 ?

Just waiting for YNM first tie breaker.

Is it possible to fill in the Box with Green, if we got it correct and Red if we guessed wrong?

I would also like to see a column wherein the bettor is labeled "alpha" and all picks are made alphabetically. (that's what I was going to do with my requested "multiple entry") Just to see who is doing better than "effectively random" choosing.

you guys teach me how to do that in HTML and I will. =P

I sent the money and email to you already

you were a little late on that. i will either send your 50k back minus the transfer fees or keep the 50k for week two.

YNM -- 6

HR22 -- 8

Chargerz-Back -- 5

Biscuitback -- 7

Bast -- 10

Xentrik -- 7

memnot -- 7
