Wow!! I guess I better get in here and make the official game announcement! LOL.

Its great to see people already chomping at the bit!

So uh....in case anyone didn't figure it out yet, we ARE playing the game again this year! And we are playing the team portion of the competition from the start (Week 1 Regular Season). So feel free to start setting up your own teams in the TVCH Teams folder (each team can start their own thread).

Just like previous years, we'll play the Pre Season just to get our feet wet, and to try and draw interest from late coming players. Pre Season scores do not factor in to the Season Average. And we won't start the Team portion of play during the Pre Season either. This gives us time to recruit for our teams, and for me to get it all set up in my spreadsheet.

Teams this year can consist of 3 to 5 players. We did level off at 3 players one each team last year, and it seemed to work. But if we want to expand to a maximum of 5, I'm up for it. In fact, I'll put a "recruiting thread" in the Teams folder, where folks can come go and recruit and form teams. Then when a team is officially formed, you can start a thread in the same folder for your team.

Feedback is always welcome!

I'll be back later with more rules and explanations on how to play the game (to jog the memories of veterans, and for the newcomers we hope to recruit!).

Absolutely Mictay. Anyone...everyone...the more the merrier. In fact, I kinda keep an eye on the NFL Dicussion thread, and take note of who posts there, so I can extend invitations to the game. Your name was on the list to invite/encorage to play. So....you beat me to the punch!! Now you have no choice. You have to play!

OK, I've posted the Game Open announcement over in the Weekly Picks thread. Please make sure you post your picks there.

I've given folks over a week for this first pre-season week. So I'll probably be spending the week encouraging folks to stop by and play. If you see anyone around the board you think should play, you now have a few links to guide them to! Please also notice we do not include the Hall Of Fame weekend in this game.

This year I'm offering a service to folks who lead busy crazy lives and may not be able to keep up with deadlines each week, primarily when the first game of the week is earlier than the conventional Saturday game. If you'd like me to shoot you an e-mail each week letting you know the game is open, and what the deadline is, then e-mail me at FBPoolGame@comcast.net, and make the request. Please take note this is an e-mail exclusive to the Football Pool Game, and not the one I have in my profile. I hope to be running this game on up to 4 drum corps boards, in addition to TVCH, and I will be using the same e-mail address for all sites. So if you e-mail me, please make sure to identify yourself by username and forum in the body of your e-mail, so I know who you are. Yes, I do know who many of you are, and have many of your e-mail addresses. But I just want to make sure I don't cross up my wires with who is who. And although I intend to use a privacy setting on the e-mail I send out so others can't see the addys of each recipient, you might want to let me know just how private you prefer I keep your address.

Just to be clear on one rule.....a deadline is a deadline is a deadline. Picks for all the games of the week must be in by kickoff of the first game of the week. Some people in prior years have hoped to submit picks in "pieces" when there are early games in the week (ie, picks for early games, then later picks for the games later in the week). But this just makes it too hard on me to keep track of, especially since this isn't the only board I run the game on. Hopefully offering the e-mail notice to players will help with this.

Thanks for playing!! And start helping me drag in those players!!

Yay!



And double yay!!



I sent out a LOT of invites over night. To just about anybody I'd ever seen even blink at anything football related over the past year. LOL.

If you didn't get a personal invite, do not think you're not welcome. THE MORE THE MERRIER. In fact, I think it should be a requirement for membership to TVCH to play the Football Pool Game. Well, ok, I won't get THAT intense. But it really is fun to get a whole bunch of players!!

And don't forget to think about playing on a team this year. Its not required, you can still just play as an individual. But playing on a team does add to the fun!

If you're up to playing on a team, but don't have any team mates, make sure to post in the Team Recruiting thread under the Teams folder. I'm sure someone will snap you up! Team competition will begin the first week of the regular season.

Oh, and if you see anyone in the BB threads you think would have fun over here, send them over. Or better yet, drag them over whether they're kicking or screaming or not!

Mictay....yes. You do your individual picks as usual, and the score you get as an individual is averaged in with the scores your team mates get as individuals to get a team score. So you end up playing for an individual ranking, and a team ranking each week (and in the season average rankings).

You do nothing different in your picks as a team member, except of course if you want to have a Team thread in the Teams folder, and go around to the other Teams' threads and talk smack.

Nope! I appreciate the questions. Sometimes my vision of the game is so clear in my head, but rather complicated once I try to put it in words. And I know some of it is confusing to others (especially when I get into one of my long winded posts that take too long to read).

So you keep my on my toes by making sure I explain everything correctly! Besides, if you have the question, I'm sure someone else does too. So you've likely done someone else a favor by asking!
