Welcome to the 8th annual Slickdeals NFL Survival Pool!

Here we go again!

Registration is now open. PM me for my non-CC Paypal address. As soon as I get your $5, I will send you the league name and password. Paypal payments should be paid from a linked bank account or Paypal balance. Payments should be sent as a "gift" to avoid fees.

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

Please use your SD name as your group name.

Our previous winners are:

1 - Ryan166
2 - Arjunsr
3 - Ryan166
4 - Bill L (an outsider)
5 - Arjunsr
6 - vec
7 - ERock54
8 - jayb082

Here are the rules:

Anyone is welcome to play. 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 around $150.

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.

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 picked cam newton in the last round of my fantasy football keeper league. There were grunts and snickers of disapproval at draft time, but now I no one's laughing. I'm going to have Cam Newton in the last round for a long time to come.

I've counted 4 times. I have 46 in the wiki. But, I have 47 in the league. Can you help me figure out who's missing? I'm reconciling the money to make sure I have it all ready for the winner. Thanks!

The problem is that I only have money for 46 people. So, my wiki is correct.

We could have a winner tonight if Chicago beats Philly.

I still cannot figure out who signed up and didn't pay. At least I verified that the 2 finalists have paid.

By some chance did someone hand out the password to a friend thinking they were sending me money?
