I can't remember who ran this pool on the previous board, but since I don't see it here yet, I figured I would give it a shot to run it (I feel a bit obligated, as the defending champ
).
Quick review of Survivor Pool rules:
1) Each week, pick a team that you think will win.
2) You can only pick a team that is currently undefeated.
3) You can only pick an FBS team that is playing another FBS team.
4) You can only pick a team once per season!
-If the team you pick wins, then you "survive" to the next week.
-If your team loses, or if you run out of teams to pick, then you are eliminated.
-Picks must be made before the kickoff of the game you pick - a timely reply to the current week's thread is the only acceptable way of making a pick.
-Anyone wanting to play MUST START WEEK 1. There is no fair way to add players after the first week of games is already completed.
-An updated pool chart will be attached every week, showing everyone's picks, who has survived and who has been eliminated.
-The length of the game depends on the success of the participants, as well as the number of undefeated teams that remain throughout the season. If necessary, we will pick up-to and including the championship game to determine a winner. The new college football playoff format gives us up to 19 weeks to play.
-You are responsible for your own pick. If you pick an ineligible team, you are automatically eliminated. Know the rules, and don't count on your opponents to point out an error that you made.
So, have fun. I will try to keep the Sheet updated and as current as I can, but my time on HR is sporadic.
First eligible teams kick off tomorrow, so quickly start looking at the schedule and get a pick in to me before your game kicks off Aug 28-Sep 1.
Best of luck
