HEEELLLLOOOOOO FOOTBALLERS!
I hope everyone is well and ready to get rolling on the football pool. I know I am. The season starts next week, so no more pre-season sending in the “B” team. The football pool is about to get real, yo. Listen up and let’s get this party started:
Shoot me back a quick note and let me know if you are in for the season. (And take a quick look through the send list here, if I am missing your favorite relative, please forward this email!)
At some point, send me $10 per player. Send payment to my address. (Or you can Venmo me if you know what that means)
The first week is a pretty busy week for me (the Chocolate Festival!) – so please send week 1 picks to Kevin.
The rules are pretty much the same as last year, except that if the season starts to go really long….I don’t want to be scrambling in the playoffs again this year, so if it goes past week 13 we’re gonna make it a little harder for the remaining contestants.
The Rules:
1. Send me $10. Your credit is no good here, so ante up!
2. Each week send Emily your pick. Send it only to her, not the whole group, so that everyone can make their own pick. Email her or send a text. (except week 1 send to Kevin)
3. If you team wins, you advance. If your team does not win, you get a strike. On your second strike, you are eliminated. You can only pick any team once each season. This is self-policing. If you accidentally submit a team you’ve already used, catch the commissioner before kick-off to reconcile! Ties count as a loss.
The football season starts on Thursday September 7. If you want that game, then you need your pick in before kick off. Otherwise, end of day Friday. Here’s a link to the Week 1 Schedule.
And, here’s a link to the blog: where you can check out the rules and all. Bookmark the Nemmers Scrum page so you can check each week’s announcements.
Not fired up, yet? Just think of all the smack you’ll be able to talk…of all the news articles about you’ll read about tactics that you might not understand and players that you have never heard of. Or, just think of how good it will feel to beat Charlie Nemmers one more year! Hah!
Get those confirmations in so I can build the spreadsheet, and then we’ll see you for some picks in week 1!
Yay for football and family!
Emily
