Entry fee is $ 500, everyone has been paid promptly every year

If we have < 20 teams

Last unbeaten Team Wins $ 1,000
Second Place Wins $ 500
First Place wins the balance

Of course, once it gets down to 2 (or a few), remaining participants can split the pot any way they unanimously agree to (one objection from remaining participants, prize distributions will NOT be changed)



If we get to 20 participants, the payout will be

First place $ 7,500
Last unbeaten $ 1,000
2nd place $ 1,000 ($500 for < 20 entries)
3rd place $ 500 (no payout for < 20 entries)

If we have > 20 entries, the payouts will be the 20 team payout plus the additional funds allocated as follows

First place 75%
Last unbeaten 10%
2nd place 10%
3rd place 5%

1st Sunday of the season, by 12 noon EST. Unless you're picking the Thursday night game, then before that game kicks off

Willie if you would like you can use the $1000 that you 90% to lose for my 2 entry fees if you would like for fantasy and 2 strike
NE has to go 13-4 just to push

If not I’ll send the 1k
Whatever you decide

OK Chop, but it's going to suck for you to send me $ 2,000 .

I like it when my opponents start counting their money :)

I started sending invites to all the emails I can find. Yahoo does NOT carry over the participants and their emails from the prior year(s). they also do not archive the prior years, so I'm almost starting from scratch every year

If you want to participate, please PM your email to me. I'll send you and invite, you accept. Payment is due the first Sunday of the season by 12 noon EST

I want to fill the roster so people have an idea what our numbers are. I'm expecting 50ish

If this thing gets to over 50 can you consider maybe having 1 double pick week late in the season like week 12 or 13?

The odds get kinda high for having to pick playoff games at the end with that many players and tHat kinda sucks
BTW the yahoo software allows this so it’s very simple to implement

Willie, forgot how you did it last year for those participating not part of the forum. Do I send you name and email addresses for those individuals?

Yes, and I'll send them an invite. Tell them to call themselves Shale - Tony or Shale - Michael... just Shale - Something
