Ladies and gentlemen,

I will pick up the reigns to this for this year.

I have created a group on ESPN (yahoo does not do it any more).

Basic rules:
1. Ante is 10 quality cigars (if in doubt, ask me what constitutes quality)
2. 6 months as an active member (some exceptions can be made...a solid vouch by a vet, steady activity, completed trades, etc...I have last call)
3. All picks will be made before the first game (pretty sure it locks down after that)...no updates or changes after the first kickoff
4. If we have 9 players or less....winner takes all. 10 or more and I will modify the payouts. It will be posted before the first game.
5. I will be participating too (you will be able to see my picks too and I won’t change them)

That is all that I can think of right now.

Post on here that you are in then PM me your email address so I can send the invite.

Let’s have some fun.

David

If anyone is still having problems logging into the group, let me know.

Looking at how it is run, I believe they don’t lock in the picks until just before each game. I am not going to go through any extra craziness to try and lock all picks before it starts on the 15th. So, follow the rules that they have set-up and in the end it should be easy to see who wins.

If I remember correctly, think it allows you to make changes to your picks until the kickoff time for each game. Once the games have started, you can then view other players picks for those games.

^^i believe that is the correct answer. However, you should probably just submit them all at the start. Then if you feel inclined to change them, you just change that one. If you wait and only enter a few at the beginning you are more likely to forget to make your pick.

I would have liked it if we had to put in all the picks before the first one but I couldn’t figure out to do it.

If we only have 9 players I suggest the winner gets 50 smokes and the runner-up gets 25 and 3rd place gets 15. Think

90 cigars is more than I need. Speak to the hand And I'd be more than happy to help with the shipping cost.

Thoughts??

If it is just 9, I would go with....
Winner gets 4 people to send to him and he keeps his ante
Second would have 2 people send and he keeps his ante
Third gets to keep his ante and doesn’t send out cigars.

If my calculation is correct, that is 9 antes.

Maybe we can get at least one more.

If you are going to get in, you need to contact me no later than Friday so I can send the info to you.

Except for Alcorn your picks we're good. Some last minute scores didn't help you.

Thanks for facilitating this, Dave!

I feel the same but still a lot of games to go, plenty of time for you to recover and for me to fall further behind! Brick wall
