| Super Bowl Update |
2:35 PM ET on 2/3/13 by Jay Soester |
With the big game about four hours away, there are currently 59 $5 boxes accounted for and 127 $1 boxes paid for. As things stand, the $5 pool would stick with 59 boxes while there would be two $1 pools with 63 and 64 squares accounted for. It's not too late to participate, simply fill out this form and then use PayPal's "Personal" tab then "payment owed" button to send your entry fee.
There are currently 18 boxes left in our odds-based pool with the pot currently at $382.69.
Winnings are paid out as 15% of the pot for the box corresponding to the 1st and 3rd quarter scores. The halftime box gets 25% and the final score box gets 45% of the pot.
While I'm reminding you about Super Bowl deadlines, the deadline to submit your final lineup for Fantasy NFL Playoffs is 6:27 PM ET tonight. Make sure you don't try to select a player you've already used.

| Super Bowl Pools Update/Last Call |
2:16 AM ET on 2/3/13 by Jay Soester |
The Super Bowl is roughly 16 and a half hours away and there's still room for more boxes in our Super Bowl Pools.
There are currently 25 boxes available in our odds-based pool. To purchase a box, simply click the price link in it and fill out the form.
Our $5 randomized pool has 32 boxes paid for while our $1 pool has 70 paid for. If the $5 pool doesn't get to 50 boxes paid, each box paid for will be turned into five, $1 boxes. Should that happen, all participants boxes will be spread out as evenly as possible between the number of pools created. To sign up for a randomized pool, fill out this form, then pay via PayPal to bsoester@bellsouth.net. Make sure you use the "Personal" tab and the "payment owed" button to avoid transaction fees.
I anticipate beginning to set up the randomized pools at 5 PM ET or a bit earlier, make sure you get your purchases as far in advance of that as possible. Those that do purchase boxes should begin to watch their inbox and the website for information on their box allocations around that time. Odds-Based purchases will be taken up to 6:30 PM ET.

| Super Bowl Pools Available |
2:21 AM ET on 1/22/13 by Jay Soester |
The first pool, the third edition of our odds-based pool is now available and updated to reflect the results from last year's Super Bowl. It's a $5-base pool with up to $514.50 at stake. For those unfamiliar with Super Bowl Pools, you can read an explanation here. If your box is the winning box after the first or third quarter, you'll receive 15% of the prize money, if any of your boxes is the winning box at halftime, you'll receive 25%, and if your box is the winning box at the end of the game you receive 45% of the prize money. If you're looking for statistics on score frequencies from this season, what you're looking for has been in the NFL Pickem Stats section this whole time.
Pick your box before someone beats you to it. I'm offering one free $0.50 box for each $5 worth of boxes you purchase up until Friday night (1/25) at 11:59 PM ET, while the $0.50 boxes are still available (there are 29). Last season saw Douglas Hansen win 15% of the pot when a $0.50 box (AFC 7, NFC 5) came up at the end of the third quarter.
To purchase a box, click the link in the box you'd like to purchase then fill out the form and send your money via PayPal, Western Union or check. If you use PayPal, make sure you choose the "Personal" tab then the "payment owed" button to avoid transaction fees. Instructions on where to send your check are given upon completion of the form. For Western Union, email me directly.
We also have traditional, randomized pools available. You can sign up for as many $1 and/or $5 boxes as you'd like via this form. Use the "other notes" section to say whether or not you'd be willing to switch pools with your entry(/ies) should there not be enough entries in either type of pool. If you're unfamiliar with the traditional Super Bowl Pool (or Squares), check out the rules.
A minimum of 50% of the available boxes have to be accounted for in any of our pools to go ahead.

| Fantasy Hockey Drafts Update |
2:44 AM ET on 1/9/13 by Jay Soester |
I've updated the available Fantasy Hockey draft times to reflect the projected new start to the season, Saturday, January 19th.
Saturday, January 12th at 4:15 PM ET
Sunday, January 13th at 3:30 PM ET
Sunday, January 13th at 5:45 PM ET
Monday, January 14th at 10:30 PM ET
Tuesday, January 15th at 8:30 PM ET
Wednesday, January 16th at 9:15 PM ET
Thursday, January 17th at 9:45 PM ET
& two autopick leagues
Please let me know which league you'd like to be placed in as soon as possible. I've already begun sending out designations. Once you receive a designation, please get into your league as soon as possible to secure your place in one of our leagues. If you need to switch draft times, please let me know as soon as possible and I'll try to accommodate you. I'll begin sending league designations to those that didn't reply to the draft times thread tomorrow. The first draft is just four days away. If you're eligible for a second team, please keep close watch heading into the weekend as I might be giving out a bevy of second teams on short notice this week.
This season will see each of our leagues capped at 12 teams, with no playoffs. That gives game weeks 15 through 25 for a true round-robin. That development means less championship points from the game will be scored than usual, but it's better than no game.
There will be no Keeper Leagues Fantasy Hockey this season due to the short time frame before the season begins and due to the lack of enough game weeks to complete a serviceable season.
I hope to have the Fantasy Golf standings set up as soon as possible on Wednesday. If you aren't already in one of our groups, please join. ID: 830/Password: 123456.
