Welcome to the 13th annual Slickdeals NFL Survival Pool!

Hello Slickdealers! Here we go again!

Registration is now open. PM me for my non-CC Paypal address. Paypal payments should be paid from a linked bank account or Paypal balance. Payments should be sent as a "gift" to avoid fees. I'll send the ID and password when I receive your money.

http://football.fantasysports.yahoo.com/survival

Please try to use your SD name as your group name so I can monitor who signs up.

Our previous winners are:

1 - Ryan166
2 - Arjunsr
3 - Ryan166
4 - Bill L (an outsider)
5 - Arjunsr
6 - vec
7 - ERock54
8 - jayb082
9 - Ligers (Tripp's brother)
9b - Mavtech
10 - Bogey419
11 - Rockalittle
12 - ERock54

Here are the rules:

Anyone is welcome to play. Even your friends and family. Just make sure to let me know who they are to you. I link them to you. Buy in is $5 per person. Winner takes all. We will be using Yahoo Survival to track picks. This is a straight pick the winner pool, no spread. In past years, we have had about 30-35 players. So, winner can take home $150-$175.

Non-credit card Paypal will be used to collect the money. Winner will get the lump sum at the end of the season to his/her Paypal address. If you insist on using a credit card, you pay the fees. They are usually about $.75 per $5. Yeah, I know. Paypal is a bunch of thieves. Let me know if this is the case since it's a different email address.

You will not get the league ID and password until I have your money.

The rules:

Starting in week 1, you choose an NFL team to win that week. If you win, you carry on to the next week. If you are wrong, well, there's always next year. So, do your research. Choose wisely.

You can never choose the same team again.

In case of a week where everyone goes down: This is usually most possible in the mid to late weeks. As long as all players lose, everyone is re-entered automatically for the next week.

If we have a tie at the end of the final regular season game, the money is split among the people left. However, if there are 2 people left at the end, they both may agree on going to week 1 of the playoffs for a winner takes all championship. This will be a game of my choosing unless I am in the game. In that case, someone who went out in the early weeks gets to choose.

When you should have picks in: I don't have the time to chase people down. Yahoo will send you an email reminder and I will post in this thread to remind people. Picks must be in 5 minutes before the first game of the week. So, make sure to pay attention to Thursday and Saturday games. Those tend to screw people over. Someone always forgets. There is no forgiveness for forgetting. That wouldn't be fair to the others. Not choosing is the same as losing.

To play, I will need your name, team name, and money.

You can contact me by PM or IM. My IM names are under my SD name. Let me know if you have any questions.

I will give you my Paypal email address in a PM.

I'm in to donate a five spot again this year. I'll PM you when I'm at a PC. I won the Mod FF league last season but admittedly a lot of them picked randomly every week! Love playing survival every year. I think a few years ago it went 13+ weeks?

I have 3. so with about 15 min, makes it worthwhile. will create it tomorrow and send info to those interested. 15 makes it at least $75 prize pool.

Can I go ahead and PP you using the same email as last year or do I need to PM you for a new destination of the dinero?

Also to generate more interest maybe we can get Schooby to sticky it to the top of the lounges until opening week as she's done in the past.
