NFL Survival Pool

[Montano]

The object of Yahoo! Sports Survival Football is to be the last Active member of your individual group.

In order to accomplish this goal, you must correctly pick the winner of one professional football game each week. If you pick a team that loses or ties, you incurs a Strike (i.e., a miss) and could be eliminated, depending on your group's settings. Public groups use "1 Strike and you're eliminated," while private groups can use 1, 2, or 3 Strikes settings.

But, to make this somewhat simple task more difficult, you can only pick each professional football team once during the regular season.

Pick Submission:
The deadline to submit your final pick each week will be "5 minutes before the first game of each week," which may be on a Thursday or Saturday during some weeks.

Your group's deadline setting can be found by clicking on the "Settings" link from a group page. Additionally, the specific weekly deadline will be listed on your picks Overview and Picks pages.

Sorry, but it isn't possible to edit picks after the weekly deadline. Similarly, it isn't possible to join a group after the first weekly deadline for that group has passed.

Additionally, it isn't possible for group commissioners to edit picks after the deadline or reactivate individual members without resetting the entire group.

Yahoo! Sports Survival Football is a free game that runs through the entire 2010 professional football season —which begins on Thursday, September 9, 2010.

Feel free to join the game at any time beginning Wednesday, July 28, 2010. The first deadline for submitting a selection is 5: 25 p.m. PT on Thursday, September 9, 2010.

To Play:
5 handmade NC cigars. These will be sent by you, to the winner at the end of the season.

Who Can Play:
Member of the Asylum for at least 60 days as of September 1, 2010
Have zero negative trader feedback ratings
Have at least 1 positive trader feedback

11 players from CA
7 players from another site. Those 7 are sending their sticks to me (cuz that's how they do things over there).
If anyone here wants to send their entry sticks to me, fine, if not, fine also. I will send the address of the winner if he is from the other site.

[Coach Deg]

I'm in. Can you only pick each team once? Or can you pick same teams over?

[Montano]

"Joe" stays alive on one of the worst calls I've ever seen !!!!!!!

[Samsquanch]

Bears pull through for me too, I wasn't able to watch the game, what was the call?

[jonumberone]

I'd rather be lucky than good :D

[Montano]

Called a TD incomplete even though he had 2 feet and a hip down in the endzone.

[Montano]

Week 1 exits from BryanB and GreekGodX :(

If you guys want to send your sticks to me, I will forward them to the winner. That way you don't have to worry about it. Totally up to you though.

Yea both my survivor pools I picked the 49ers :td I guess I won't have to worry about that at all now..

Yea I'll send them out to you this week then :tu

[Gophernut]

"Joe" stays alive on one of the worst calls I've ever seen !!!!!!!

The funny thing is, it was the "correct" call, it's just a very bad rule. Eventhough he has two feet down, maintained control, landed on his bum, and had broken the plane of the end zone with, control, the fact the he put the ball on the ground to help himself up cost the Lions the game. Simply a pathetic rule. "Process" will be the word for the week.

[jonumberone]

Exactly Steve. I am alive due to my superior pick making abilities, nothing less :D

[srduggins]

And I am alive simply because I picked the Monday night game.

[Montano]

5 players eliminated in week 1. 14 players remain.

San Diego wiped out quite a few guys.

Offer to send sticks to me, and I will forward to the winner, is always open.

[Gophernut]

:r:r:r Well played Dom, well played...

If you got them, there is still 3 days to abandon ship.
Don't want anyone calling me the mush on Monday! ;)

[Montano]

The Packers have been consistent at least.

[Montano]

A ton of tight games this week. Can't even pick against the Raiders this time !!

[Les Nessman]

I was all set to go the safe route this week after a close call with Philly, but now Pittsburgh is starting Charlie Batch on the road against the Bucs? Hmm.....

[Montano]

Making my pic today because I don't plan to remember tonight or tomorrow :D

[Montano]

Looks like everyone made it through this week.

I'm in the same boat Bro :(

[Giants85]

I'll be sending mine as well...damn you saints, they looked terrible today. Montano, can you PM an address.

On a side note- i'll need a decent (5 catches 50 yards should do it) from crabtree tonight to save me in fantasy. Lets go niners!

[Samsquanch]

Wow, 5 knocked out in one week, mine will be headed out this week.

4 out of 5 games I picked against Buffalo, this week they have a buy week, and I have no clue who to go with.

[Montano]

Madness in the NFL this year !! No bet is safe anymore ;)

[Les Nessman]

Down to five survivors. Close call for those of us who took Baltimore.

I was wondering - what happens if the remaining survivors all lose in the same week? I can imagine everyone picking the same team this week.

[Coach Deg]

DC# 0310 1230 0000 9814 7823 Thanks for schooling me!

And then there were 3.......

And then there were 3.......


And there still be for one more week with everyone taking Tampa Bay...

[Les Nessman]

Looks like Yahoo has a problem or it can tell the future. I'm hoping for the latter - I am now listed as the "winner" even though there are two other people left. You can tell who everyone picked, but it might be a problem for next week if more than one makes it through.

[cwood009]

Ummm, it is telling me the same thing. Is it trying to tell us to chop the pot?
