WIN SOME PEANUTS ON THE SIDE
____________________________ 

The following is open to all teams. A one time investment
of 10 peanuts is required at the beginning of the season.
If all teams participate the winner could potentially take 
away 160 peanuts at the end of the season.

Due to a tremendous surge on peanut commodities and futures,
there are 42 entries in the pool and 1 winner could take 
home a big jar of 420 peanuts. Review the picks by linking above.

HERE'S HOW IT WORKS -

Each week during the season, you pick the winner of 1 game                                                                
for that week, Thursday, Saturday and Monday games are     
included.  No point spreads are used, just pick the winner
of 1 game.  No ties allowed, it MUST be an outright winner. 
        
If you are correct that week, you move on to the next week.
If you are incorrect, you drop out of the pool.  As long as
you keep picking winners each week, you continue playing. 
When only 1 player is left then that player wins all the 
peanuts in the pool, a maximum of 160 if all teams play.

There is 1 important rule, you cannot pick the same team more 
than twice or in 2 consecutive weeks during the regular  
season.

Play will continue each week until only 1 player is left.
If there 2 or more players left after the last week of the
regular season, then the peanuts in the pool will be split
equally.  Depending on how many players are tied, if agreed                       
upon, the playoffs could be used to break the tie.  If that
is the case, then point spreads may come into play since
there are a limited number of games each weekend.

Please contact the commisioner by Friday each week with
your pick.  For Thanksgiving week, please contact the 
commissioner by Wednesday.

NOTE:  If you forget to call in your weekly pick, then                       
instead of forfeiting your pool entry, the following will
take place.  You will receive the next team, in alphabetical
order, that is in the same division of your last team picked.

The alphabetical order is based on the team's city or region
name, not the nickname.  The team that will be selected 
cannot have already been picked twice during the season or
been picked in consecutive weeks.  This process continues                       
until all teams in a division have been selected.  When all
the teams have been selected using this default method,
your entry will be forfeited with no refund of the entry fee.

Hopefully this default selection method will not come into 
play but this contingency process must be put in place just
in case.

Weekly results will be posted with a link from the main page
of the Board's web site.  A maximum of two entries per  
player is allowed with each entry standing on it's own
as far as the rules are concerned.

In any case, this is another way to add some excitement to
the league and win a few extra peanuts at the same time.
If interested, sign up at the draft in a few weeks.
