Yes, it?s that time again, where you can get some of your money back from the Proprietor of the 9:30 Club.
Given that we inevitably have multiple pools going every year, I would like to propose a small discussion before I post the link to the pool. Unfortunately, Yahoo prevents me from doing what I want to do: allow folks who lose in the first week to buy back in and be part of the main pool (albeit for twice as much money). Yahoo does however, allow me to make the settings to be two losses and you're out.
Discuss the following options:
#1 - use a different site, allow losers in first week (or first two weeks) to buy back in for an additional $5 (or $105 for the big money guys).
#2 - Use the Yahoo site, 2 losses and you're out.
#3 - status quo - use the yahoo site, one and done.
Previous rules, same objective:

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 (assumes option #3).
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.
Seth, GGW, the Good Doctor and Smackie have also been known to do a $1000 pool. I will leave it to them to challenge others.
Best of luck, and in case you need to be reminded about previous results?
