Original Email

It's that time again .... the 8th annual BG Fantasy Player pool for the NFL Play-offs. All those included in this email are those who were involved last year (or have shown interest in the past). If you would like to pass along to anyone else - that is totally cool - however, please don't send this off to anyone that you know it will be a struggle to get them to pay as it will just mean more upfront work for me...So... the person emailing me must include your name as a "reference"...

I'm sending this out a bit early this year - as I'm going away for the holidays. "Tuna" Glantz has offered to fill-in administration duties for the first week while I'm away. So ... You will need to send your entries to NFLPlayerpool@gmail.com. Repeat - please send to this address (and not Tuna or my personal email addresses)

The rules are similar to last year - but there are some minor scoring changes:
Each entry will consist of 12 roster spots outlined below (yes - it includes Individual Defensive Players). Each roster must consist of every team in the NFL playoffs, EXCEPT FOR ONE - which means you are allowed to pick 2 players from the SAME TEAM - if you desire. You can only do this once, so only one NFL play-off team will not represented on your final roster. (So - Yes - W Parker and H. Ward can be taken on the same team). Rosters which are submitted incorrectly, (have 2 players from more than one team) will be null and void.

The cost will be $50 per entry. You can enter multiple entries if you'd like. Due to the quick nature of this pool, the preferred method of receiving payment is PAYPAL. Please PayPal me $50 per entry upon submitting your team(s) - email me/Tuna if you need the paypal address to pay towards . If you do not have a PAYPAL account then you can pay me cash/check, but I will need to receive your money by MONDAY, JAN. 5th. Otherwise, you will forfeit your entry...NO EXCEPTIONS. Entries need to be received by 6:00 PM on Friday, January 2ndso we can send out all of the teams by Saturday (when games start). I'd suggest sending in your teams as soon as the match-ups are decided....

When you submit your team - please use the following format (Position First Initial -dot- Full Last name) to make it easier on Adam:
QB E. Manning
RB W Parker
RB ETC

Stats will be taken from " NFL.com Gamebook."
Official pay-outs, tie-breakers, and other variables not included in this email will be TBD, depending on how many entries we receive. However, here is how last years pay-outs approximately worked:

1st Place: $2500
2nd Place: $850
3rd Place: $350
Last place got their money back ($50).

*Paypal does charge a small fee, which will merely be taken out of the pot. Again, feel free to send to trusted friends, etc.
I will be posting scoring updates and announcements onto a blog, which should limit the emails...
