Its approaching that time of year again folks!

Time to start thinking of playing the official NFL Football Pool Game: TVCH Style!

No money involved (sorry), just weekly bragging rights, season long progress, etc.

Format will be pretty much the same as last year. Each week guess who will win each game, and you get a score based on the percentage of how many games you guessed right, and how you fared in the bonus question. This year, the bonus question points will not exceed the available points for guessing a game correctly. In other words, it will serve as a tie breaker.

If I can get my charts lined up in time, I'm thinking of running a few pre-season games to get our feet wet. Just like the NFL, the pre-season games won't count towards our season long score. No averages will be kept, and each pre-season week is an entity to itself.

If anyone is interested in playing for the pre-season, let me know. I figured on skipping the Hall Of Fame Weekend (Aug 6 & 8), and starting with Pre-Season Week 1 (which starts Thursday Aug 11). If enough people express interest playing for the pre-season, then I'll post that week's picks on Monday Aug 8th. In all, there are 4 pre-season weeks we can play.

We'll start the official Regular Season with Week 1 beginning Thursday Sept 8 (picks will likely be posted the Monday before).

We had great fun last year! I hope all of last year's players return, and bring along a friend or two!

Newbies VERY welcome Nick!

Playing the pre-season this year is a good way for all of us to practice. All of us to practice picks, me to practice how to set up the scoring chart, etc.

So far, it looks like you're setting your picks up just fine! Just a note to all...it does make it a lot easier on me to transfer your picks to my chart, if you number the games like is being done above. Thanks!
