so $100 pool players must pay $105.
do $1000 pool players have to pay $1005, or $1105?

survival pools aren't limited in the number of participants in the same way that fantasy football is. the more the merrier!

The $1000 pool does not need to pay in advance. That money is usually exchanged over some back room lunch, mafia style.
I've never officially required a participant of the $1000 pool to participate in the $100 pool, but that is because most who are willing to wager $1000 are willing to wager another $100 without issue.

Technically, we are limited by Yahoo to 50 people, but that has never been an issue.
You must sign up by 8:25 p.m. ET on Wednesday, September 5. You have until Sunday, September 9, 2012 1:00 p.m. ET to make your first selection.

I am a lifelong Giants fan but I never bet on them. In any individual game, they will let you down.
Glad to see Dr. Phibes joined the Big Boys pool. Looking forward to another lunch. Hope vansmack will join us this year.

looks like every $100 pick is for the Texans, could be a quick pool!

Good lord, Ravens defense was disgusting! I lost 7 points because I have the Bengals kickers, but I still got 18 points from the defense. Boom! Won my fantasy league and got my survivor pool pick! YUSS!
