As an strict constructionist, I believe we must follow the rules on this one. See "How Do I Win?", available at http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/footballsurvival/winning/footballs-12.html (last visited Nov. 11, 2007) ("In the event that the last Active members in a group are all Eliminated together in the same week, all are declared winners.").
930 Board Survival Football Pool
Originally posted by Dr. Anton Phibes:Yinzer will be the $5 pool winner only if Seattle holds on. I'm rooting for him too so I don't have to divide that $5 pool up by 8 people.
Good Question. Congrats to Yinzer if he wins with Seattle tonight! But,of course he wasn't in on the side bets and wouldn't be eligible for that pot?? Right, Smackie??
Congrats Yinzer
Eliminated in Week 10

The Big Sack (NOR)

Picks
6 New Orleans
1 Carolina
1 Seahawks
AND THE WINNER IS:
Yinzer, who rode a Shaun Alexanderless Seattle Seahawks team to victory.
Congrats. If gambling were legal, Yinzer would be receiving a payout of $150.
Vansmack, GGW, Hoya and Phibes in the sidebet would be receiving $250 each if gambling were legal.
And in the second chance pool, Hoya, Sweetcell and Eros would be splitting $400 ($133 each), again, if gambling were legal.

Good job guys. Damn those 'Aints.
thanks for running these leagues, this was fun
smackie, thanks a lot for running this. it was good fun and it gets pretty damn difficult in a hurry.
see y'all next year?
Thanks again, Smackie, for running the show!!
Maybe next time I'll stick with my gut. I took Favre and the Pack and then changed my selection. Ye of little faith indeed!

Originally posted by Dr. Anton Phibes:I did the same thing, but I blame the Chargers. Had they not made Minnesota look so damn good the week before, even with a backup QB, I would have taken the Pack. Instead I took the heavy favorite, despite breaking my no bye week underdogs rule. Dammit.

My pleasure on running the pool. If you're a winner, PM me your snail mail address or paypal address for your "certificate of honor."
Good job Hoya. Ever go to Vegas?
