nfl eliminator pool

[BigOrange1 6432]

this has grown throughout the years to the point where we had right around 20 entrants last year.  simple deal, you pick until you lose, last man standing wins.  $50 entry fee which must be paid by kickoff of week 1, winner take all.

Is the deadline to make a pick before the last game played?

I have been in some pools where you had to make the pick before the first game.

[BigOrange1 6432]

no you have until kickoff of whatever game you want to pick.  so if you wanted to do the 2nd monday night game, you'd have until kickoff of that game (and the contest will be open to all paid entrants ) to make your pick.

let me know if something on this list is incorrect. 

[BigOrange1 6432]

well that was fun while it lasted for the 5 of us who picked the saints.  

2nd year in a row i'm out on week one.  

[Jimbaround 975]

My history of eliminator pools has two rules: never pick the Saints, and never pick Kansas City.  They have fucked me too many times.

[HornOnTheBayou 8904]

Usually the only place I finish that quick is the bedroom. 

[Bartles 769]

Proud that I survived until the Monday games! Was really tempted to switch from DET to LAR at the last minute but I was counting on the Jets to out-pathetic the Lions, especially on the road. Good luck to the remainers

[Hook1997 5351]

Only 7 left I like it!  BigOrange1 still working on getting fing Venmo to work, didn’t feel like sitting on the phone with them Friday for hours again I’ll try again on Monday.  Shit is pissing me off.

[BigOrange1 6432]

ok so here is the deal: if the bears win, obviously the two guys who picked them move on to a head to head battle.  if they lose, all 7 of you who lost today will move on to next week. 

we had to do this once in the past when everyone lost in week 2. 

[huge 3793]

So 2 left

haha, that was a dang coaching mistake, i couldn't believe it.  at least we picked different teams this past week after picking the same for the previous 4...that made it more exciting 

 

[Hook1997 5351]

Well shit, I didn’t think you had the chiefs left..  So we pick the same again... It’s going to get tough starting next week

[Bullneck 19070]

[Jack Straw 2954]

why is this taking forever

[joeycovers 391]

I’m still in another one. Started with about 1500. Down to 140. 

 

52k for the winner. This coming week is brutal. 

[BigOrange1 6432]

last year's went all the way to week 17.

[GopherRock 1765]

I'm in a loser's pool (think opposite of survivor pool), and this is a tough week indeed

[joeycovers 391]

I had Titans last night. 

Mapping out rest of year.

15 Vikes or Den

16 Colts

17 Eagles

[joeycovers 391]

Went from 140 to 30 this week. Blood Bath 

[Hook1997 5351]

It’s never going to end....    What happens with a tie at the end of the season?

[joeycovers 391]

How many are left?

[BigOrange1 6432]

[Jack Straw 2954]

Welp, I guess it’s a tie 

[Hook1997 5351]

Yup, good season jack straw!

[Jack Straw 2954]

[joeycovers 391]
