Hello Geeks. I have started an NFL survivor pool on Yahoo. This is for registered members of Cigar Geeks only. You must have at least 100 posts or have a veteran geek vouch for you. It will cost you 5 cigars to get in and you will send them to the winner at the end of the pool. We will do 90% of the take for the winner and 10% for second place. Winner will send the runner up their cigars. If the 10% is a number with a fraction, that number will round up 1 number. Example: Total take is 55 cigars. 10% is 5.5 so second place will get 6 cigars.
Survival pool works like this. Every week you will pick one team . The point spread does not count. It is straight up. If your team wins, you move on to the next week. If your team loses you are out of the pool. You can only pick a team once for the whole time you are in the pool. Example: say you pick Dallas in the first week and they win. You move on to week two and you can never pick Dallas again. Pick must be in by 1pm EST on Sundays during the season. If you fail to get your pick in the computer will give you the most popular pick that is available to you.
Post here if you are going to play. Then go to Yahoo Survival Pool. Sign in or register. We are group 1946 and the password is smokecigars. I hope this gets some interest and good luck
Quotechief791 - 8/2/2015 3:53 PMSo like 3 sticks 5-10$ and 2 sticks 10-15$. Something like that? Either way I'll play for sure. I'll sign up tonight when I get home. Thanx for doing this its a good idea.
How about $5-$15 a stick. Use Cigars International or Famous Smokes for pricing.

20 players would be great. It will literally take seconds to get your pick in each week.

Quotechief791 - 9/12/2015 8:04 AM I think they hold off showing everyone's pick in till after the deadline which is 1PM east for our league.
Just curious, I played on Thursday's game if you can see that already or if it waits until the Sunday games begin to reveal everyone's pick.

It's true buddy. I put no faith in the Jets so I think you will walk away with this one. A 2 week pool, this is the fastest one I've ever been in. I was in one like this that went 5 weeks and I thought that was fast. Good luck Steve, be rooting for ya.
QuoteCaveman Steve - 9/21/2015 10:34 PM NOT looking good! :sad:
Nope.
Quotejohncw - 9/21/2015 11:50 PM We should be able to start a new league and everyone that was eliminated in week 2 should get back in and start at week 3.
(http://www.cigargeeks.com/../images/emoticons/BigThumbs.gif) It would be a do over. Im game if everyone else is. Get Kent back in there too.
Quoteninfiction - 9/22/2015 12:35 AM
Yep I'm cool starting fresh, including Kent.

Ken has had a death in the family and not a good time for this right now. Prayers are with him and his family at this time.
If everyone wants back in I could try to set this back up tonight if enough interested.

Oh man that really sucks. Feel like an A-hole for sending a PM enlight of what is going on.
Brian the problem with you setting it up is that Ken will be omited... Maybe try and keep track this week on here and give Ken a free pass to when he can set it up. Or just take a week or two off.
QuoteCfickter - 9/25/2015 7:10 AM
Man, that is super weird, but I if understand the rules right, Kent owes us all fivers!
Ken has PM'd me asking me to get this started and may join up in the upcoming week to get his mind off the current situation and I hope he can. For those who don't know his wife passed away this week and has asked for any thoughts and prayers to be thrown his way in this difficult time.
I do send my thought out to you and your family, and as I mentioned if there is anything we geeks can do to help please let us know.
Quotebmac7754 - 9/27/2015 10:01 PMStill time to get in this geeks. Looks like we have 9 players so far and this will begin next week. Anybody can get in on this, even if you were not in round one so please join in.Ken has PM'd me asking me to get this started and may join up in the upcoming week to get his mind off the current situation and I hope he can.

At this rate I better get my 5'er ready to ship out soon (http://www.cigargeeks.com/../images/emoticons/biggrin2.gif)
QuoteMiaFLSurf - 10/11/2015 8:59 PM I had something come up and didn't get s pick in. Usually they automatically pick a game for you based on popularity. Is that true?
I don't think so

Quotedanb6177 - 10/25/2015 8:27 PM I think we have a league winner?
I think we do. If I see it correct, looks like Chuck is the winner. Anybody want to confirm this, and the 5 packs should start to roll out.
So 2nd place will be determined by Thursday's game. Closest combined total under or over will win Chuck's 5'er. By the way if its "58" we got to do it again. So here are the entries:
Clami -57
johncw - 59
danb6177- 44
Good luck guys

Quotebmac7754 - 11/5/2015 12:55 PM Looking like a nice stash of cigars you got Chuck. Take a final shot of them together when they are all in so we can drool over them.
Brian, probably won't be able to. Some to Dan as runner up, smoked 1 or 2 also.
