GGW might not post as much as he used to, but he never misses the opportunity to gamble?.

Yes, it?s that time again, where you can get some of your money back from the Proprietor of the 9:30 Club.

Hello 930 Board Member,

The object of 930 Survival Football is to be the last Active member of the 930 Board.

In order to accomplish this goal, you must correctly pick the winner of one professional football game each week.

But, to make this somewhat simple task more difficult, each user can only pick each professional football team once during the season.

If a correct selection is made, the user will remain Active for the following week. If an incorrect selection is made, that user will be Eliminated.

Our Group is limited to the first 50 people who sign up. There are two prize categories:

$5 - every participant must play the $5 version of the Survival Football pool, winner take all.

$100 - in addition to the $5 pool, an optional ?High Stakes? $100 per person pool is a side pool for those that wish to participate. The decision must be made prior to week one.  To signify your willingness to participate, simply put an asterisk next to your submission name (eg, vansmack*) on the yahoo site.

Best of luck, and in case you need to be reminded about previous results?

awright, i'm all signed up.  thanks for putting this together, smackie.  i'm hoping to finish in the money for a third year in a row.

i'm also hoping i beat seth, but that part is pretty much a given.

<hides>

The Commish is wise…

I'm out of town this weekend so if you have any questions, feel free to PM me.

Numbers are a little down this year….you have until Thursday to sign up.

indeed.  would be nice to have more than 6 people in the pool - hard to get some decent smack-talk going with that number.

where's seth?  or has he finally conceded that us boardies know more about football than he does?

I'm in! Let's get the roster expanded!

We need quite a few more entrants and also get those $ 100 entrants signed up!

In.  I'll try to remember to make a pick before the first game this season  :P

9 playaz so far - woohoo!  let's keep the rally going.

Way ahead of you…

Has Seth joined or is he tiring of the yearly ass stomping he has had to endure??

;D

i've been trying to goad him into joining… no dice so far.  maybe we need to ask him nicely?  or promise to not complain about beer prices for a year if he wins?

pool up to 11 team!

Maybe he can't afford it; what with ticket sales off and all.

And lets not forget that will be Thursday again this year…

I'm interesting in joining. I play 3-4 fantasy leagues of each sport every year. Who do I send the $5 to?

I'm in if Seth's in. I like to make sure I won't finish last.

I'll send the payment instructions out soon via the league address when registration closes, but it's paypal or snail mail to me.

screw it, i'm in

There's a change this year on the site.  You have until the 4:00 O'Clock ET game to make your pick (it used to be kickoff of the first game).

Might pick page currently says:

"Deadline to submit pick: 9/13/2009 1:00 pm PDT"

Not sure if this is a week one thing or not, but we can go by that this week.
