2010 Pool Rules, etc

The rules are similar to last year (with the exception of a tweak to the FG scoring) - AND - you will be submitting your team differently than in years past so please keep reading.

Rosters: 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 - P. Manning and R. Wayne can be on the same team). Rosters which are submitted incorrectly, (have 2 players from more than one team or list players at incorrect positions) will be null and void.

Submitting Rosters: This is going to be different this year. You will need to go to this URL and fill out the form with your roster/team. Very important - please submit the players names in the format I list (First initial of first name - dot - full last name). I have a baby now, so I can't spend 10 hours on manual data entry (although I know it will come to that at some point).

Cost: 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) to bgoffin@yahoo.com . If you do not have a paypal account then you can pay me via cash/check, but I will need to receive your money by MONDAY, JAN. 11th. Otherwise, you will forfeit your entry...NO EXCEPTIONS. Entries need to be received by 6:00 PM on Friday, January 8th so we can send out all of the teams by Saturday (when games start). I'd suggest sending in your teams early so you don't forget and miss the deadline...

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: $3000
2nd Place: $1000
3rd Place: $440
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 this blog, which should limit the emails...
