i_am_the_swammi Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 +1 on the it can be started anytime (like April 15th, for instance), so if someone has the time and desire to set it up and run it, I'm definitely in again with my Phils.

whomper Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 I mulled it over. I really did. I just hate the team selection bickering to be honest with you. There is no fair way to designate teams and people who come late to the thread whose team is gone get pissed off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People want to root for their favorite teams otherwise its more like an emotionally detached pool which is fine for some people but most want their favorite team Edited April 1, 2008 by whomper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Chappy Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 People want to root for their favorite teams otherwise its more like an emotionally detached pool I understand. However, it's the fairest way. And when people play fantasy football, baseball, etc. they still get to root for their favorite teams and don't necessarily draft every player from their favorite team. Same would apply here. It's just a pool and people will still root for their home team regardless of who they have in this pool. Just a thought.

Guest Chappy Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 If Chaprish runs it I'm in for two teams. Randomly selected of course. Random selection would be the best way to go and I'd be willing to help but by all means I'm about to be lynched for starting up the Huddle Hotties so I don't want to take charge, change rules, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just a pool and people will still root for their home team regardless of who they have in this pool. Just a thought. The origins on this contest was a free one where I would send the winner the hat of their favorite team. So people came in first come first serve and grabbed their favorite team. The next time we did it I believe we grandfathered in the old teams . Then after that we started doing it for cash and reopened the teams to everyone and thats when we had some bickering. Ill run it but I dont think randome selection is the way I want to go. Let me sleep on it and I may just go first come first serve tomorrow.

Timmypg Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 If you do it I'll take the Pirates. Also, if you need extra people I'm sure my cousin will get but I'll wait to ask him. I ran this either last year or 2 years ago & I hated the payment part. I'm glad you're back Whomp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bier Meister Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 if you go ahead with this..... i'd like to request my giants. outside of 60 wins, it's the only thing i'll have to root for from them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ran this either last year or 2 years ago & I hated the payment part. I'm glad you're back Whomp. I think it was last year and i ran one also. Mostly because of the dog fights over the teams. Mine was also differant than yours as i used 0-10 and you did 1-10. Whomp if you do one i'll do a backup to cover the extras that want the same team. I also don't think it would hurt to pull up the participants from last year and give priority, for a few days, to the guys who are always in this.

whomper Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 (edited) I will start up a thread this afternoon with the details. It will be first come first serve and The team requests in this thread are not valid . I will wait until the afternoon to give the west coast guys a fair shot. Anyone that wants in that misses out on their team can join Al's pool. I will also wait so the people that posted teams in here get a chance to see those requests arent valid .
