i have zero financial interest in this. I do it myself, its legit. only showing it because its pretty rare to get a pot this big, its a 115 dollars to get in before sept 1st and 125 after. last year the pot was 350k and this year will probably be closer to 400k.

2011NFL SURVIVAL POOL

Welcome to the 2011 NFL Survival Pool.  The rules and details concerning this year’s pool are as follows:

1. All entries received by August 31st will cost 115 points. All entries received September 1st and beyond will cost 125 points. You may take as many entry’s as you would like to. Legally I must state that all points collected will be paid out to the winner / winners…..  Announcement of how many people we had for this pool will be stated Monday night September 12th, …..

2. Each week, you will select an NFL team to WIN their game. (Point spreads are irrelevant) and a tie is considered a loss. Meaning your team must WIN to continue on to the next week.  The team you have chosen can only be used once during your participation in the pool.

3. If you select a team, which you have already used earlier in the year, you are disqualified.  (This cannot happen if you make your picks through the computer)

4. If you fail to make a weekly pick, you will be assigned a default pick, which is the pool’s top pick for that particular week.  If it happens that you have already used that particular team, you will be assigned the second most popular pick for the week, and so on.  If all default picks come up empty you will get the largest spread favorite open to you.  Selection to be provided by the pool master, and cannot be challenged what so ever…..
