Had an idea for an NFL playoff pool. Instead of having a set entry (5 or 10 sticks) and randomly drawing a team, I thought of bidding on the team you want. This way the random drawing wouldn't have a major effect on the outcome and someone wouldn't have to risk the same amount of cigars and get stuck with Philly as someone else did who got Denver. And anyone who wants a stronger team like Denver or Seattle will have to risk more cigars to do so.

Same rules as other contests, must have your noob/vet trade done, or have a vet back you, no dog rockets, etc.

Bidding stops at midnight central time on Friday, January 3rd.

If you want in copy the list of teams and add your handle and number of cigars next to the team you want.

If someone already has the team you want, delete their name and bid higher.

Chiefs - therrm - 2
Colts -
Saints -
Eagles -
Chargers -
Bengals -
49ers -
Packers -
Panthers -
Seattle - therrm - 5
Patriots -
Broncos - therrm - 5

Let the games begin

Ok, to keep things interesting and to wreck everyone's plans of sniping each other at 11:59 on Friday I'm going to get someone not playing to call a random close to bidding on Friday during the day sometime. Bidding will be closed when this person says so with a post on this thread. I will let everyone know who it is when I find somebody.

illinichaser will be calling the close of bidding randomly on Friday.

Looks like a total of 37 cigars. I expect this to be a little higher come Friday night.

Yes, thats correct. Let me know if anyone has any suggestions to make this better. I just had an idea and its kind of a work in progress.

Ya David, I knew you would want the Bengals and I didn't think 3 was a fair price for them. lol
