Change of format for the CWoS NFL pool?

Post by Reservoir_Dog »

If I do the NFL football pool this year I'm thinking that I'd like to change the format.

Instead of posting the games and everyone highlights their picks, then I sit down on Tuesday after work and crunch all the wins and losses, then post the results ....
I'm thinking this year I'd rather host the pool on a pool web site.

I create a pool, you join, make your picks, and the site does all the work.
There will be a main page showing everyone's picks (after the games have started), current rankings as in 1st, 2nd, 3rd and so on.
And if you're worried about losing all the banter between us, don't. The pool has a message board.

If I do it this way I'd like to use my favourite sports pool site which is Yahoo.
That means that anyone who joins the pool will need a Yahoo ID, (if you don't already have one)
If you don't have one, it's simple. Go to Yahoo ... click on create Yahoo ID ... and go through the process. It takes about 3 minutes.
You'll end up with a Yahoo ID, and a new e-mail account.
I create the pool, send an invite to your new yahoo e-mail account, you join. Simple.

Using a pool site will save me an hour and a half of my life every Tuesday afternoon as well as allow the pool to continue should the inevitable collapse of CWoS take place.
I would be able to restart the pool each year and automatically send out invites to the pool each new season.
That, and it would be a cool way of keeping in touch should CWoS go the way of the dinosaur.

What say you all?

It's "any way the wind blows"..... ;)
Sorry about that fatman....I went to see Queen in concert last Sunday (hence why R. D. Was able to sit around in his jammies pounding back the beers ;) ) and I still have the song stuck in my head. :lol:

Excellent. I'm going with the web site.
I'll get a pool started up. In the meantime, get yourselves set up with a Yahoo ID and PM me your new Yahoo e-mail addy so I can send out the invites.
And Fats .... I'll snoop around and see if they have AFL pools as well. :)
