2015 NFL 5/5 Pool

I hope this is ok to post here. I've been running a NFL 5-for-5 Pool for a few years now and wanted to offer it up if anyone is interested. A few basics below. PM me for more details:

Picks: Picks are made on CBSsports.com.

Entry: $425 for the season. There is no commissioner's fee. 100% is paid out.

Best Record: 10% goes to the person who has the best overall record for the entire season. If it's a tie, those with the best record split it. In Week 17, if no one picks all 5 games correctly, the whole pot goes to the winner of the best overall record. NOTE: We are currently taking a vote to divide the best record among the top 2-3 records. All paid players will get a vote and the deadline is an hour before kickoff on September 10.

Weekly: Each player will pick 5 games of their choice against the spread each week. In order to win, you must pick all 5 of your games correctly. If no player picks all 5 games correctly, the pot for the week rolls over to the next week. If multiple players go 5 for 5, they split the pot equally. In Week 17, if no one picks all 5 games correctly, the whole pot goes to the winner of the best overall record.

Is this a flat fee of 425 or can we pay 25 per week? 425 is a shit load to dole out at once. Especially when ones wife his already complaining about the amount of pay fantasy football teams one has....

I hear ya. Since I don't know everyone in the pool personally (I took it over for a friend) and people invite their friends every year, it does have to be paid upfront. Otherwise, if someone bailed it would short-change the winner.

It is also paid out every week (or whenever someone wins) rather than waiting until the end of the year.

Bump. We are at 19 players so far.
