Hello CT-

Name of the office pool is Our Gang's 9th Annual High Roller Pool, I meant to create it with hidden picks but did not. Is it possible for you to change it so that pending picks cannot be seen by other players?
Please advise thank you!

Everybody has been sent their winnings, email me if there are any issues thanks.

Congratulations to Imagine-Losing, Chiefs by exactly 3.  All payouts will go out this week.

OK the Super Bowl is set.  Here's who's still alive:

Roz24 was the only player to correctly pick SF and KC and has the Niners on top.  If the Niners win, she wins.

Only two players have KC to win, with the following scores:

Imagine-Losing KC 27-24

Bextabluv  KC 28-21

If KC wins, results will be decided through the scoring tiebreakers listed at the beginning of the thread.  Everyone else is out.

Heading into the divisional round...Dallas, Philly and the Dolphins exit.

Five players still have two live teams, fourteen players still have one live team and nine players are out.

Moving into the postseason...

Cincy, Minnesota and the Jags are out.  Nineteen players still have two live teams, eight players have one live team and one player is out unless we get some combination of Houston / Pittsburgh / Cleveland vs. Tampa / Green Bay / LA Rams in the SB.   

@Imagine-Losing

 Sorry man.  I gotta count the one with the earliest time stamp.  Having two AFC teams winning may work out in your favor anyway.

Hey Our Gang players - Commish here 

Covers has not restored the dedicated pool forum, so once again we are on the public office pool forum for this challenge.  Anyway - down to business:

This will be the official thread for posting your Super Bowl prediction for the 2023 season.  This is a $500 cash prize, awarded to the player that most accurately predicts this year's Super Bowl result.  Rules are simple, post the winner, loser and final score of the championship game.  For example:

Kansas City 38 Philadelphia 35

RULES:  All player predictions MUST BE posted on this thread to qualify.  I will not accept emails, texts or social media messages.  The deadline to make your prediction is Thursday, November 2nd prior to the kickoff of Week Nine's Thursday Night game.  Any predictions posted after the deadline will not count.  One prediction per player only.  If anyone posts multiple predictions, I will count the one with the earliest time stamp.

The winning player prediction will be determined as follows:

1.  Pick the winning and losing team.  If nobody picks both the winner and loser-

2.  Pick the winning team only.  If nobody picks the winning team-

3.  Pick the losing team only.  If nobody picks the losing team-

4.  Pick any team to appear in the game, win or lose.  If nobody picks any team to appear-

5.  Pick the winning conference (AFC / NFC).

Depending on how the above qualifiers play out, tiebreaking scenarios will be decided in this order:

1.  Closest predicted margin of victory without exceeding the final game score margin of victory.  If players are still tied-

2.  Closest predicted game point total without exceeding the final game point total.  If players are still tied-

3.  Tied player with the best overall win percentage on the season.

I will post a breakdown of all player predictions after the deadline passes.  Good luck everybody!

Two days until the NFL season opener...I've been asking about this for a year now.  Good job doing squat, Covers.

@Flynt

 Come on CT you can get this patched up!

OK so just over two months until the start of the NFL season...CT can you advise on progress bringing back the dedicated office pool forum?

@Flynt

 Thank you for the update.  Keeping my fingers crossed.

@Flynt

 BUMPING.  Hopefully you guys can restore the dedicated office pool forums in time for the NFL season.  I would think almost four months is enough time 

Congratulations to ImagineLosing!

Just chiming in again - could you guys look into restoring the dedicated office pool forums?  It was a great feature that really streamlined communication and was missed greatly this past NFL season...

Super Bowl is set.

If Philadelphia wins the game, Dragon5Koi wins the $500

If Kansas City wins the game, it will come down to these five players and scoring tiebreakers:

RustyBarge4 KC 27-17

SaquonSayGone KC 35-30

All other players are out.  GL to those remaining.

Following Divisional games -
