Introducing the Rocky Top Talk College Bowl Pick 'Em Pool!

Well, we just completed the regular season for college football, which means the Rocky Top Talk College Football Pick 'Em is officially ended.  We had 36 people enter, of whom about 20 to 25 actively participated through every weekend of one of the most painful seasons in long memory for Vols fans.  So to you addicts die-hards, we at RTT salute you!

(If you're curious who won, you can always check out Joel's post on the matter.  I'd tell you who won, but, well, yeah...)

So now we have the Rocky Top Talk College Bowl Pick 'Em Pool!

To enter the pool, here's what to do:

1.  Go to the Fun Office Pools Website

  • Click here.  (url = http://www.funofficepools.com/)
  • If you're not automatically logged in, then sign in.  (If you haven't used it before, create a new account.  It's free.)

2.  Go to "Join a Pool"

3.  Sign up for the College Bowl Game Pick 'Em

  • The Pool Name is:  Rocky Top Talk College Bowl Pick 'Em Pool
  • Enter in your account password and enter in the name you want your picks to show up as.  Feel free to be creative with the name of the picks; it's not the same thing as your login name.  During the regular season, Aerobab earned style points for his use of his picks name to communicate to the rest of us.  ;-)
  • Click the "Join a Pool" button.

From there on, it's just a matter of familiarizing yourself with the various pages - all accessible from the menu on the left hand side of the page.  You're picking winners, not against the spread.  The key is that you assign points to your picks, and the total number of points determine the winner.

The first bowl game is December 20th, so be sure to have your picks entered before then!

Oh, I remember.

Man, these jokes write themselves.

At least the Tide knows who to contact if they want to, um, party. Not that anyone ever would in New Orleans.

Cool

Well I’m signed in and ready. Anybody know when we make our first picks????

You can make them anytime, but I'd wait until all the bowl games are definitely set.

Then just make sure that they’ve updated the games to reflect any changes from their guesses. The big thing to note is that the first games start on the 20th, but the pool doesn’t lock in until the 26th (it’ll tell you that in the pool site somewhere). Once a game starts (well, according to the time listed in the pool), whatever pick and point value you have for that game will irreversibly lock in. So you can change any game’s pick that hasn’t started up to the 26th. But you can’t retroactively change the early games once they start, even before the 26th.

Ok, you're in.

I see your pick in the list, BIG Daddy-D

:-D

You have plenty of time to worry about getting the picks figured out, so don’t feel rushed about learning the system. If it doesn’t make sense by this time next week, give another shout out to us and we’ll help.

Pool

When will they list the games?

by mmmjtx on Dec 9, 2008 6:54 AM EST reply actions   0 recs

They're already listed.

When you visit the site, if you’re on the main page, click on your selection name. Then you get a menu list on the left hand side. If you click on “Your Picks”, you can see them. All of the games are in play.
