Super Bowl Pool

[Smoked!]

prostartjr,

Thanks for offering. I haven't been a member long enough to get involved in a 'precision exercise' like the pool you're proposing. Everyone involved has to know the ropes already. It's a great idea though. Good thoughts on the structure, too.


May I add a general comment from the perspective of a complete noob?

DG is right. In my brief experience with this board, new members who take the time to learn the lay of the land and identify the core participants can benefit greatly from what the the community has to offer. There is a wealth of useful information and commentary available even if you choose not to participate in the contests or passes. Personally, I have found members to be respectful and very forgiving of errors. That last part depends on the individual.

There are many genuinely decent people here. I hope you're not put off by the artillery falling around us. It makes sense for senior members to point out issues when they occur. It would be a shame to bring the board into disrepute. Sorry for the hijack. Good luck with the pool.

Smoked, I would have no problem allowin you to participate. You have a decent amount of post (more than me atleast). If noone else objects, I would have no problem allowing you in as long as you think you understand what needs to be done. Im a newb myself, and dont like to be pushed aside just because of that, (this board seems to be good with giving people a shot and if you blow it than they come down on you). That being said, as long as your in good standing, I have no problems letting fellow newbs participate. Hell we need people anyway and there dont seem to be to many intrested yet.

Hey, thanks again. I'm traveling a bit the next couple weeks and don't have too much spare time. It wouldn't be that enjoyable for me. I'll have to pass on this one, but I'll be around for other contests down the road.

That is sure a refreshing attitude.

It's good to see a newbie that "gets it".

prostartjr...It's good for you to sponser this pool. Might I suggest you maybe do some other sports pool down the road. It will give you some time to better organize.

I will definatly try and do some more sports stuff in the future. The reason I got this up so late was that I thought there was one already going here. When looking for it a few days ago, I saw there wasnt one up yet. I will try and do something for the hockey playoffs which arent all that far away. I will try and come up with something good for that.

Sounds awesome, I love playoff hockey. Devils all the way!

Right on......gotta love a game where you only get a 5 min penalty for smacking the crap out of your opposition.

I agree with half of your statement. Playoff hockey is increadable. The second half I have to disagree with. Im more of a "Lets go Rangers" kind of guy

[cigarsarge]

I don't know a thing about hockey...I'd risk a few sticks in a pool though.
