Official Elksherd 19th Annual (2024) CFL Pool Thread --- With Prizes!

BTW, folks, in the pool home page you're going to see a "rogue" game, BC vs Sask, to be played on January 1, 1970. I'm pretty sure they didn't play that day, and I have no idea how that game got there. Just ignore it.

I’m going for bc..

Hey all, just about to post the new standings and put the Grey Cup game in. Be aware that, due to my delay in posting the games this week, naf sent me his picks in a direct message. They're not entered in the official records (I'll see if I can get Angelus to put them in). Naf picked Montreal and Winnipeg to win, both by 30-20 scores, so his total is two points more than it will show on the "Standings" page.

[glenvb]

... which, now that I've entered the games, means that we have a seasonal pool winner!! At 116 points, couchspud (at 110) can no longer catch him, since the max points for a single game is 5. So, naf gets the gold medal this year. Congrats! Couchspud picks up the silver. The bronze medal, though, is still very much up for grabs, with me at 99, and cmbuk and eskfan152 at 98. May the best predictor win!

So, make your pick, for the last time this year, and if you're going to the game, see you there!

You were very quick to respond to my message to put up the games, so I did enter the scores, so I'm pretty she the standings are actuate as is? Meaning couchspud could pass me with a perfect score if I don't get any points, I believe.

[cmbuk]

No clue how I managed to get back into the top 4 I had a terrible year

Ha, that's weird.... after I entered the scores, you were ahead 114-110... when I checked your history, it showed that the games hadn't been entered. Now it shows that they have! I guess that part of the database has some sort of delay on the entry.

OK folks, it's not QUITE settled at the top! For couchspud to catch Naf, couchspud will have to hit the score on the nose, and Naf will have to pick the losing team.

[nafnikufesin]

So I got zero points. The question is, did couchspud pick Toronto to win 41-24?

Doesn't look like it. You're the champ.

[glenvb]

So the Grey Cup result is in, and we have a winner...

Nafnikufesin! All hail the new champion!

Couchspud put in a spirited effort and gave naf quite a scare several weeks ago, and takes second place!

Eskfan152, I will never, ever forgive you for knocking me off the podium this weekend and taking third place. Everyone, a loud BOOO for eskfan152!

Naf and couchspud, I'll be in touch with your prize info. Eskfan152, no prize for you.

Thanks all, as always, this has been a lot of fun! Hope to see you all next year.

[cmbuk]

Thanks as always glen!

[couchspud]

Thank you very much Glen. I tried to send you a message but am a LUDITE. If you did not receive it, I can try again.

Got your message, and replied!

[nafnikufesin]

Thanks again for coordinating everything, Glen! It was a very streaky year, but in the end, the 30-20 scorelines gave me enough bonus points to grab the bragging rights.

[eskfan152]

Haha!! Thanks for the hate Glen!!! And thanks for putting this on! Was fun as always!

[Looner]

Thanks for doing this Glen, fun as always
