After You Receive Your Password

Some of you have sophisticated email spam filters and I'm unable to send the full instructions for getting set up for the pool. So, here is the "Welcome Letter" with all of the instructions - minus the password. Once you have received the password from me in your email, follow these steps.

You can send your entry fee using Paypal to my email address max_rose@sbcglobal.net, give the fee to Ridge or Dwyer, mail it to me (email me if you need my address), or leave it for me at The Beacon Pub in Forest Park.

This Is Harder Than It Looks - Last Man Standing Pool

You will be making your weekly picks online at www.frogsoda.com. If you are not already registered, you will need to sign up - yes, it's free.

Go to the league page: This Is Harder Than It Looks

- if you are a Frog Soda member, click "log in", if not click "Sign Up"
- Once you have created an account and are signed in, click "Join League"
- This is a private league, you will need the password to join (this will be sent to you once your entry fee has been received).


Here are the rules:
- You will make your pick each week. Pick one (and only one) team that you think will win.
- If your pick is correct, you will advance to the following week. Where you will choose another (different) team that you think will win.
- You may only use one NFL team one time during the season.
- If your pick is incorrect, you are out of the pool. If your pick ties, you are out of the pool.
- The last one remaining will win the total pot.
- If no single player remains "alive" after any single week, the pot will be equally split among the "live" players heading into that week.
- If, by some miracle, multiple entries make it through the entire regular season, those players will split the pot.
- This pool will not carry over to the NFL Playoffs - but it is likely we will be (depending on interest level) starting a new pool specifically for the Playoffs.
- All updates will be posted at

- You have until the kick-off of the game you intend to pick to send your entry. - - The site will lock games already played, or in progress.
- You can also make changes to your picks, so long as the team you picked hasn't already started playing their game. So that means, if you forget to make your picks on Sunday morning - you still have the afternoon games, the Sunday night game and Monday night game (in most cases) to get your pick in.
- While I will try to send out reminders to get your picks in - it is your responsibility to do it. NO EXCUSES, NO EXCEPTIONS.


Good luck - and remember - even in bye weeks, there are going to be 14 winners - you only have to pick one.
