2012 NFL Football Pool

[barrysloate]

We haven't gotten very much response about doing a football pool this year, but I thought I would start one here and see who wants to play. Tim Cathey has run it the past two seasons, and I will still defer to him if he wants to do it again this year. If not, I can keep track of the weekly standings. Here are a few rules to start:

Let's have each round be worth a little more than the previous one, as we did in the past:

Wild card- 1 point for each correct pick
Conference semi-finals- 2 points
Conference finals- 3 points
Superbowl- 5 points.

Let's get all picks in at least one hour before first kickoff. So for this week, noon Saturday is the deadline. Let's also say no edits allowed, unless they were allowed in past years.

And if we can get at least 5 or more players, there will be a prize for the winner. Leon will donate a deluxe Net54 T-shirt to the winner.

So just post in this area, and unless I hear from Tim I will keep track of the point totals and post the standings on the Monday after the games. Good luck to everyone, and let's get a few more players.

I'm in. I lost last year (or came in 2nd, however you want to look at it) on the total points in the Super Bowl. So, I'll play again.

Good Luck,
Phil

P.S. GO PACK GO!

the prize is what makes this all worthwhile, thanks Leon

That's the spirit. Keep those picks coming.

I should add that in case of a tie for first, Leon will tear the T-shirt in half and give one piece to each winner. Just specify if you would like the left side or the right side.

Barry, if you or someone else can keep track of the points this year it would be a huge help to me. Thanks for getting it going.
