The 2015 Loser's Pool is now open! Training camps are open and it's time to start studying just how you'll get knocked out in Week 1! As you can see below, I've taken a bit different route this year. My hope is that we double in size for the 2nd year in a row (went from 50 to 97 in years 1 & 2). Because of that (and the fact that I'm actually employed this year, unlike last year), I simply cannot manage 200 different emails and a spreadsheet. This year, we'll be using a site called RUNYOURPOOL.com. Instructions to join the pool are at the bottom of this email. The rules are (changes from last year in bold). 1. Objective is to pick a team to lose each week. If they win or tie, you are eliminated. 2. You must get your pick in by the weekly deadline - before the first game each Sunday (even if you're picking the MNF game). Early (Thursday) games must be picked before they start. 3. If you fail to get a pick in, you will be assigned the biggest available FAVORITE. 4. You may not pick a team more than once. If the pool remains alive into the playoffs, all picks will be reset. 5. We play until there are no more. The last man or woman standing wins the entire pot. 6. There will be no negotiating an end until we are down to 5 players left. Then a vote will be taken, if those 5 so desire. 7. Entry fee this year is $51 (the extra $1 is to handle the fee for using this site). Fee must be paid prior to week 1. Any outstanding accounts will be canceled. All fees are to be paid via paypal. You can search me at paypal.com by using my email (leedoctoroff@outlook.com) VERY IMPORTANT: WHEN MAKING YOUR PAYPAL PAYMENT, MAKE SURE TO SELECT "SEND MONEY TO FRIENDS OR FAMILY". Any other option charges a fee to me. Last year, it cost the pool almost a full entry fee. I'm not responsible for making up the difference. Get out there and recruit recruit recruit! The person that recruits the most NEW players will receive one free entry. Get signed up (instructions are below) and good luck!
