Welcome to the 9th annual Slickdeals NFL Survival Pool!
Sorry I'm late on this. I've been real busy with a new job over the past 6 months. A lot of traveling. So, we'll have to see how many we can get in by Saturday.
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.

Please 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
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.

it's not even about the teams, really. it's about odds. we're choosing a "winner" out of 32 teams playing this week. regardless what team we choose, we should all have the same odds when choosing that team.
I don't see much of a difference since other leagues do it this way.
I could swear other sites last year didn't make you pick on the wed/thursday. It doesn't matter to me either way. I usually know my pick by then anyways.
Mavtech pretty much said what i was trying to say. it ain't about which team you choose, it's about the odds you have of winning. choosing from less teams means you have better odds of advancing.
or something.
so yeah, football is back omgomgyay
I've done this the past five years (though not with you guys), and I thought for the first time ever I'd be out on week one.
That was WAY too close for comfort...

WTF, Saints got me twice this week. First knocked me out here, and Mayors FF team is all Saints and as of now beating my team..
Oh well, at least I got my dash lights working this weekend..LED bulbs and re-soldered the circuits on the Dimmer Switch..

I didn't hurt myself too badly, just sore...and a few mosquito bites, hope I don't get West Nile.
