created a topic Welcome and rules
in Office Pool Contest

For new players here are rules:

-each week pick between 1 and 10 games. There are 14 regular season weeks and 1 conference championship week. You must pick each of these weeks. Failure to do so is deduction of -110 each week w no pick. This is kept manually so you won't see deductions on leaderboard. You do not need to pick "week zero- Miami/Florida" or "army/navy week"

-contest goes throughout bcs championship game. You are not required to pick bowl games, but a lot of ground can be gained in postseason.

- payout 1st 50% 2nd 30% 3rd 20%. 3rd only pays out though if contestant has positive unit total.

in Office Pool Contest

Welcome back. You know the rules; pick 1-10 games per week. WINS +100; losses -110. Failure to pick is -110 deducted manually (I'll keep running tally and deduct at end of season).  Must pick all weeks including conference championship week. Bowl season games are optional but count to final total. Contest ends after National Championship. 

1st: 50%. 2nd 30%. 3rd 20% (but 3rd only paid if positive total)

We should be looking at 1st prize-300; 2nd prize-200; 3rd prize-100. 3rd prize must be positive to qualify. Remember to make bets each week, including conference championship weeks. Bowl season is optional (no penalty) but goes to final tally. Also remember failure to pick a week is -110 but won't show up on leaderboard; I'll keep a tally and subtract at end of the year. I'll start to contact people as to how to collect fees.

Obviously no weekly prizes since small turnout this year. Will just do 50-30-20 sit-n-go format. 50% for first place, 30 2nd, 20 for 3rd

Someone had asked and while I had told a few ppl, I realize I don't work with everybody here. In money week, in case of tie, the 2 or more people would carry over to the next week. They would be only ones eligible of course. Luckily it hasn't happened yet but I think it is only common sense to do it that way. No 12.50 a piece nonsense.
