It was exactly one year ago today, August 18th 2007, that the fourth NFL Suicide Pool on CAG was opened. After an eventful season, Danimal stood alone atop the mountain of CAG's! Will he go for the repeat and tie WhamBamm's record of two championships in 2004 and 2006? Will a newcomer rise to the top to dethrone these past champions? Will it be you?!? The only way you'll find out is if you enter! Do so now!!!!

Welcome to the 2008 NFL Suicide Pool run by your host, Admiral Ackbar. This is our fifth year so I think we have the rules down pretty well. But in case you're new, here's how it goes.

*** NFL Suicide Pool Rules ***

This is all done at my whim and leisure and I can alter rules or prizes anytime I want. I don't plan to, but sometimes the unforseen comes up and I need to be flexible. This will be a fair and fun pool where everyone gets equal opportunity. Please don't take this too seriously. Not to mention, there's always the Admiral's Money Back Guarantee. If you're not satisfied with the way this pool is run, you get your money back. Of course, to join is free, so you.... You get it.


Entry Period

Members can only enter the pool until 8PM EST on Wednesday, September 3rd. Approximately 24 Hours before the first game of the regular season. Sometime after 8PM EST, I will lock down the pool and there will be no further entrants allowed. In the interest of fairness this is non-negotiable. So I recommend you joing before 8PM EST on Wednesday, September 3rd.

Any CAG member may enter the suicide pool. To enter, just pick your team or take a BYE for week 1. Post your pick in this thread. Players who post their interest in playing but forget to place a pick by week 1 will automatically entered with a BYE.

How do I play?

1) Each week pick a team to win.
2) You may not pick the same team twice.
3) Every player gets one (and only one) BYE to skip a week.
4) If you accidentally miss posting a pick your BYE will be automatically spent to keep you in the game.
To quote Spider-Man, "Everybody gets one."
5) Make sure you get your picks in before the weekly deadline!
6) You may change your pick up until the deadline.
7) If the team you pick loses their game, you're out.

What if everyone is eliminated the same week?

We have a do-over and everyone survives to the next week until we get a single winner.

What about the playoffs

We've yet to have the game survive until the playoffs.

But just in case, if there are less players than playoff teams, players may not duplicate picks. Teams are offered on a first come, first serve basis.

If there are more players than playoff teams, then the game plays as normal until there are less players than playoff teams.

No bye's are allowed in the playoffs.

If after a full season and playoffs we still have multiple winners, the prize pack will be split by random lottery.

"Wait, did he say prizes?"

Yes, that's right! This years prize pack is made from numerous games that have gone on sale in the past year and posted on this very website. All of the following games are new and sealed.

Ghost Squad (Wii)
Zack and Wiki (Wii)
Trauma Center 1 (DS)
LA Pucell Tactics (PS2)
Odin Sphere (PS2)
Rogue Galaxy (PS2)
Company of Heroes (PC)
Battle for Middle Earth II (Xbox 360)
1600 Xbox Live Points
Oblivion (PS3)
Ninja Gaiden Sigma (PS3)
And more Swag!

When do picks need to be in again?

Picks generally need to be in the night before the first game of the week. Usually Saturday night or early sunday morning at the latest.

Do not be late!

To be fair I have to be strict with the deadline. AFter I close the week, I can't allow any more players in. Picks that are late do not count! So get your picks in! If you miss one deadline and you have a bye it will be used automatically. Otherwise, you're out.

*** Last Words ***

So that's it. Get your picks in, don't pick the same team twice, and remember you have one bye week. Couldn't be simpler. And don't forget that at any time I can change or cancel things since this is being run on my good will. But I don't plan to and probably won't.

Good luck!

Just kidding of course. I've been really looking forward to this, hoping you'd run it again, Admiral.

I guess for now I'll go with Philadelphia for Week 1.
 
Oh man! It's back!!! I must avenge my early exit. Gimme the J-E-T-S, Jets, Jets, Jets in week 1.

I'm picking the Patriots every week

Ya, i'll be out by week 4 or something like that, but whatever. Sick prizes though! I might actually have to try instead of trying to annoy people with Patriots-Mania

Also glad you gave a heads up this year that the contest had been moved to the contests section unlike last year.
