Welcome everyone to the official 2+2 2014 Royal Rumble pool!

As is tradition, the pool will be $10 entry, and you will be drawn a number from 1-30. Whichever wrestler gets drawn in that spot will be your pick.

I will be escrowing the pool myself. I tried to find someone more reputable to do it but to no avail so I'm afraid you're just going to have to trust me. I did participate in the last two Rumble pools including the $100 pools for what that's worth.

Payment will be by PayPal only. I realise that it is easier for some people to pay by Stars/FTP but unfortunately that isn't an option for everybody and I would like to have all the money go to one place. I believe there may be small fees for overseas payments since I'm from the UK but again, I couldn't find anyone else to do it so you're just gonna have to suck it up. Keep in mind that us euros have had to pay the fees in previous years.

I would rather not have my details in this thread so here's how it's gonna work: you type some form of "in" in this thread, I send you a PM with my details, you ship the monies, I confirm that you have paid in this thread. I'll include this in the PM but remember to send the money as a gift.

Since there is under two weeks to go, there will likely only be one pool this year, but if there is enough demand then we can make it two. The tentative payouts will be the same as last year, but they can be discussed and changed if people want something different. Here are the payouts as they stand right now:

Winner - $200
Runner Up - $25
Longest Run - $25
Shortest Run - $25
Most Eliminations - $25

I will keep two lists in this thread. The first list will be the people who have "in"ed and the second will be the people who have paid. I'm hoping we can fill up at least one pool; if we haven't 30 by mid next week I'll start spamming people who have played in previous years. However if we don't reach 30 I will allow double entries, but those won't be open until next week.

There are three people who have already expressed their interest in another thread so I will treat them as in for now and will ship them a PM shortly with payment details. Apologies if anyone else has already "in"ed and I missed it.

A few notes:

- Some of you may remember me as the guy who started Fantasy Wrestling and then bailed during season 2. I feel bad about this but I was going through a bad time and I promise you that that wouldn't have happened if there was money on the line. Again, you're just gonna have to trust me here.

- I'll try and check the thread as much as possible but there will be times where I am asleep or otherwise can't get to a computer. If you type "in" in the thread then you will get a PM as soon as possible.

- I'm in the UK and the Rumble ends around 4am. I plan to stay up and watch but I may need to wake up early the next day, or I may just fall asleep, so there is a chance the winners won't be paid that night, but if not then it will be the next day for sure.

SPREADSHEET. There isn't anything on it yet but I just wanted to get it in the OP.

Good luck everybody. If you have any questions then PM or ask in the thread.

In!

You're welcome.

Note - There has also been a $100 pool for the last couple of years but since this is my first time escrowing I would rather not escrow that amount of money. Sorry bout that.

I'm in for a second one if we get enough as well.

In. Also interested in a $100 pool.

Same Here (also In for $10)

Guess it's easier to just have one list. *s are unpaid:

1.teejayC
2.El Kabong
3.KingOfFelt*
4.rorrrr*
5.Loce
6.yankeys316*
7.silviodante1
8.thebigeasy59*
9.~red0nkulous*
10.CieloAzor*
11.theshocker7*

Also it obviously goes without saying but this isn't actually an official 2+2 event. I didn't consider that when writing the title.

Received payment from an address ending in rr.com, not sure who it is from.

hay yeah im def in.

i have had trouble with getting paypal to work in the past. will try and sort it out or send stars$ to someone who can this week.

ty for running this

gs3737 in and paid.

I am in.

I'd also recommend anyone in this one join mine of the same buyin as well. The twist in that one will be that you get 3 wrestlers instead of 1 and get a combined score on their performance.
