If you're interested in joining the POGers only pool (which has a free option) the link is in post #22.


I have a Survivor Pool going that I posted in the Sports Betting forum for $20 per entry. Anyone interested is more than welcome to join. You don't need to be any kind of football expert to win, trust me.

But I thought it might also be fun to do a friendly POG-only pool.

For those not familiar, this is a Survivor (sometimes called suicide) pool. You pick one team per week to win their game regardless of spread, and you can't use the same team twice. If your team loses, you're out. Last man standing wins.

I wouldn't mind running a no-money one, but would prefer $5 an entry just to keep the blood flowing.

Post if you're interested, and whether you'd prefer pay vs. free, and also one strike vs. two strikes (which is what my other one is), meaning you have to lose twice to be eliminated. If we get enough interest, I'll set the league up and post the signup info.

In and would prefer $5. This is my first year doing anything for $ related to the NFL and already have a fair bit (fair bit for a broke student anyway) in other things so I'd rather keep it small. I could do $20 if everyone else wants but $5 would be my preference.

we could make there an option to be in for 0, 5 or 20 and we can just announce who is in which. the money would be shipped to whoever won that $ group but the bragging rights would go to whoever lasted the longest. just a thought

in for single elimination only.

the standard is we just set up a free one on yahoo and those who want to be in for roses send to the florist who then gives a lovely bouquet to the winner among the special set

OK single elim it is. So here's how it will work. All POG regulars are welcome to join, for flowers or not. 20 roses is the regular entry. You can play for 10 or 5 if you prefer (no other amounts please). You'll get action on whatever you decide to enter for. Obv you can only scoop the whole bouquet if you play for the full 20. Otherwise there will be sidepots. I'll collect the fees, and manage the entries. If another florist wants to escrow the flowers until the bouquet is awarded that's fine.

Sign up here:

http://football.fantasysports.yahoo.com/survival

click the "Join a Group" link then "Join a Private Group". Enter the following information...

Group ID#: 10211
Password: lynch durron (with the space)

(you'll need a yahoo ID if you don't have one, only takes a couple minutes to register)

After entering, post here with your pick set name, and whether you want to play for flowers or just fun and bragging rights. You can send me the entry via:

Stars - pedro45
full tilt - crackersoul

PayPal and regular mail are also options. PM and I'll give you the address. Before the NFL season starts, I'll post the full player list, and how many flowers each is playing for. Anyone who doesn't confirm here or with me will be erased, as let's try to keep this POG intimate.

Does this work for everyone?
