2007 Fisher Football Follies
The
Rules
- Relax! This
is really just a lot of fun.
- Twenty
dollars is all you need to play, payable by the deadline of Week 3 (Friday, September
21).
Make the check out to
Brian K. Fisher,
and mail to
3606 Summer Hill Dr.
Sugar Land, TX
77479-3045.
I won't bug you to pay; but if you miss the deadline
and don't warn me, you'll drop out.
- Each
week, pick which team will win each game, and predict the total points for Monday
Night Football (MNF).
Pick who will make each round of the NFL
playoffs, and the total points for the Super Bowl.
Pick who will win each
of the NCAA Division 1A bowl games and the
total points for the BCS Title Game.
- The
one who picks the most winners for the week wins the pot for the week.
In
case of a tie, the one who picks closest to the actual total score (sum of both
teams') for MNF wins the pot.
For the NFL Playoffs, the total Super Bowl points
is the tie-breaker.
For the College Bowls, the total BCS Title Game points
is the tie-breaker.
In case of a tie on any total points, the pot is split
evenly among those who tied.
- The
pot is as follows
17 Regular season weeks = $1 per player per week
1 Playoff
/ Superbowl set = $1 per player
1 College Bowl set = $2 per player
- Picks must be submitted
by e-mail to polecat@fishersite.us.
You can write them out yourself, or use the handy-dandy web
page I've constructed here. No faxes or phone-ins are allowed. You may revise
and resubmit your picks as many times as you like. Your last pick submitted before
the deadline will be the one that counts.
- The
deadline for submitting picks is Midnight (Central Time) one day before the weeks'
first game. E.g., for weeks where the first game is on Sunday, the deadline is
midnight Friday; for weeks with Thursday games, the deadline is midnight Tuesday.
The deadline for submitting your College Bowl picks is also midnight one day before
the first game.
The deadline for submitting your NFL Playoff picks is the
same as for Week 1, i.e., before the first game of the season is played
(yikes!)
. - If you
miss the deadline, I may accept your picks if I haven't posted the others'
yet, but don't count on it.
If you miss the week, you miss your chance
to win, and no, you don't get your dollar back.
- If
you know you're going to be away from your e-mail or the web for any given week(s),
send your picks in advance. You could pick the whole season today if you
wanted too! Given the talent we had last season, (except for one teenage girl
out near San Diego,) even if you just choose all the home teams, you could
still win the week's pot!
- I
send the season's winnings out within a week or two after the Super Bowl [ed:
insert Force Majeure clause here.]
- If
you regularly pick Dallas to win, you automatically waive all right to
defense against such abuse as is warranted.
"Good
Luck - NOT!"
