    Hello all and I'm here to announce that I will be a hosting a suicide pool! I'm sorry it is a little late but I would like to have this. I want at least 10 players to participate.

    Rules
    1. You can not change your vote once it is Forum PM'd to me. Your decision is final
    2. I will keep track of who picked who. If you picked the giants in week 1 then you try to pick them again, you will be disqualified with no refund.
    3. You can "Buy Back In" between weeks 5-6 and weeks 2-4 are mandatory to buy back in. After that, once you lose, you are out.
    4. In essence, this is how it works, You pick a team to win a game, if they win, you can't chose them again and you move onto the next week. If you lose, you are done with the exception of Weeks 2-4 which is a mandatory to buy back in. If you don't wish to compete any longer, you don't have to play any longer. After week 6, you are out with no chance of buying back in.
    5. If you don't buy back in during week's 2-4, you will have a complaint filed on you.
    6. You must buy back in that week or you are out during weeks 5-6.
    Payouts
    1. If you pick well enough to last until the Playoffs and another team does as well, I will start a forum conversation with you to decide if you want to go until the playoffs or you just want to split the prize.
    2. 1st place takes all the marbles, sorry 2nd.
    Application

    Erm why would you file a complaint against someone who wants to quit it because they are not having fun doing something

    More to the point is this even allowed, the complaint filing that is

    Actually, it doesn't, it raises the pot so the winner wins more, you follow?

    knears2000 i completely understand were ur coming from... its just that i feel like the ruins the purpose of the pool... once u pick an incorrect team ur out.. If i were to do this i would loose the first week on purpose and then rejoin in week 6 and pick the packer broncos seahawks niners pats etc. (all of the best teams) and then get to the final week picking the teams everyone knows is gonna win. The point of this pool is to make u pick a winner of a game like the jags and browns. no offense to anyone who supoprts these teams but they both are not very good. It is made to show your knowledge of the nfl and not to pick teams that are only gonna loose 2-4 games in a season
