This is a game that I will keep track of if anyone wants to play. Usually you all put in a $$ amount the first week, and last one standing gets the whole amount, but I don't want to get in trouble for running an illegal bookie business.
But this is how it goes, and if you want in, just let me know on this board privately. And I'll post it here each week who is still in it. Last one standing wins.
~pick one team per week that you expect will win a game outright, (no point spread)
~You can only pick any one particular team once during the 17 week schedule
~All picks must be given to me by 7:00PM on Thursday each week beginning September 7, 2006
~Results will be posted by Tuesday on the FFR forum each Week.
~who's in?????
EACH WEEK YOU GIVE ME ONE WINNER TO ANY GAME BEING PLAYED. YOU CAN NEVER PICK THAT SAME TEAM AGAIN. IF THE TEAM YOU PICK DOES NOT WIN YOU ARE OUT OF THE GAME.
Team seedings:
1 Pittsburg 2 Carolina 3 Denver 4 Washington 5 Indeanapolis 6 Chicago

I can seriously pick a date for the cruise to lock it in. Which month would be the best for everyone?? June , July or August of 2007???? Probably do it on a Saturday night so everyone can make their travel arraingements, for Friday or early Saturday.
Post to me privately who you are picking for the upcoming week, and I'll tell you all after the games are played who you all picked who's in, who is out, etc...... I will post in on the Forum the standings, but the team you are picking for the upcoming week should be sent to me privately so everyone has no idea who everyone has picked for the upcoming games.
Although I can't confirm 100% until I talk to my bosses.
I already have THREE WEEKS planned off in May of 07. If I quit my job by then (which is my hope) it's no problem, but if I just use my vacation time then it might be a small issue. Although since it's a weekend I could get away with just Friday and Monday off, so I'm pretty sure I'll make it!
I'm good for any month that the rest pick. You should probably find out whats available and just pick two dates. It's early enough in advance that everyone should be able to schedule for it, and if someone has something they just can't miss, like a wedding or something we could use the second date instead.
Trying to get a concensus on something like this will never work I've learned that the hard way
