Hey all,
WE'RE BACK.
No earthquake, nuclear blast, or even a global pandemic can stop us.
The long-awaited CFL season is about to begin, coincidentally on the same day as the event for which it exists --- the Elksherd CFL Pool. Prizes again will be offered, to the top two finishers!
Rules
The pool works as follows: pick the winners of the games, and scores. That's it. For every game, you get:
* 2 points for picking the winner.
* a bonus point for getting the exact score for one of the two teams.
* a total of 3 bonus points if you hit the final score precisely for both teams.
The pool will run until the end of the Grey Cup game.
Prizes
It's a lot of fun, and mostly harmless. The top 2 based on total points will receive 1 item of their choosing from the elksherd.ca shop: http://www.elksherd.ca/forum/shop.php
In the event of a points tie for 2nd place, the first tie breaker is "Wins". If still tied, we will have a random draw or flip a coin or have a 3rd party pick a number between 1 and 10 or whatever silly tie-breaking method I decide.
Access
To get to the pool from the site's main page, click "Forum" on the green menu bar. Then, on the yellow menu bar, click "CFL Pool". From there, you'll figure it out.
All the regular season games have now been entered, so predict as many as you want now. I'll be sending out weekly reminders a couple of days before each week's games.
WARNING: Due to some uncertainty about how the time zones work on the new site, I used Pacific time... which means that the pool prediction MIGHT end as much as three hours before game time. After the first week, we'll know.
ALSO NOTE: Due to a site hiccup, the first game of the season is entered twice. Please put your prediction in for both games. One of the two will disappear shortly.
FINALLY: If you predict a score 30-20, you will earn my undying respect and a tip of the cap from upstairs... Pizmo used to predict with this score in almost every game.
Good luck!
Cheers, Glen VB

BTW: Can some mod "unsticky" the 2019 pool thread, and "sticky" this thread? Thanks!
