Subject: Losers Wanted

Wow, what a response we have had so far...23 players are in (old news, more
than that now).? WE NEED MORE HOWEVER!!!!? Don't forget to spread the word
if anyone you know would be interested.? I surely expect atleast 10 more to
join but would love alot more.? Anyway, now to the important stuff...getting
on the site.
?
Unlike in years past, I feel that people are more internet literate and can
get signed up in a league without step by step instructions.? So I am going
to give you the basics and you can figure it out from there.? I advise you
do it sooner than later incase you have any problems.
?
The site is www.commissioner.com.? On the home page, you will see the?a
place to sign into commissioner.? You must have an account with
commission.com to join the league.? It is the same site we used last year
and your name and password should still be active.? If you don't remember
it, you can create a new one or there is probably somewhere that you can get
them to email you your?username and password.? Anyway, once you set up an
account scroll down and select Office Pool Manager. Our league name is
Losers Wanted.? We also have a short name of Loser (they might ask for that
also, **notice no 's').? The password is 3333.
?
You should be taken to a page to pick who you are.? Your name should not be
in the list.? Select "new player" and enter your name.? This should take you
to the site.
?
Once you are in....BOOKMARK IT.? It will make it alot easier to get to it in
the future.? Take a look at the site.? The three main links you will be
using are...1)Make Picks...2)My Picks...3)Standings.? Each week (I think
Tuesday) commissioner.com will enter the lines on the Make Picks page.?
These lines will stay constant untill they close the entries for the week (1
hour before first kick?off, includes Thursday games).? You can make your
picks and change your picks on this page.? To view your picks you can go to
My Picks.? On Monday you can check the Standings.? You can view it by a
certain week or the yearly totals.? Just click on the top on what column you
will want to sort by.? That is basically it.?There are other links if you
want to check them out...it is a great site.
?
As for the rules...the money will all be determined as I get an exact number
of players...ALL MONEY WILL BE PAID OUT!!!!! There will be weekly winners
and yearly winners (and LOSER).? The picks you make each week will be each
game that week, including Monday nights game.? In addition to Monday's game,
you will pick the Monday night total points scored.? This tie breaker will
determine weekly winners in case of any ties.? The person closest to the
total will win the tie breaker (absolute value).? If the absolute value is
equal, the under will beat the over.? Example...total points is 30.? Player
A picks 35...B picks 20...A wins.? Player A pick 35...B picks 25...B wins.?
Don't worry, it is real easy.?
?
As for the tie breaker for the season totals.? Anyone that is tied at the
top will use the playoffs in the NFL as our playoffs.? I will send out the
lines (the site won't have them) to the players involved.? You will pick all
four games and the person who gets the most correct will win.? If multiple
people tie then we will weed out and go on to the next weeks.? If it makes
it all the way to the superbowl, then we will pick the game and an
over/under as the ultimate tiebreaker.
?
Don't worry if you don't make your picks one week.? You won't take a zero?(
I am a softie).? Too many people have those weeks that they can't get around
to making there picks.? If I gave zeros, that would kill your chances for
the yearly total.? Anyone that doesn't get their picks in will take all the
AWAY teams.? I will enter those picks after the deadline to enter picks.?
All these games will count to the yearly total but can not win the weekly
prize.?
?
That is it for now...Oh ya, one more thing.? You can send me a check ($50)
to the following.?

PLEASE DON'T FORWARD THIS TO NEW PLAYERS.??I WANT TO KNOW EVERYONE THAT IS
IN.? IF YOU KNOW SOMEONE THAT IS INTERESTED, HAVE THEM EMAIL ME AT
BROOK@PDQ.NET.? I WILL SEND ALL THIS INFO TO THEM WHEN I GET THERE INTEREST.

THANKS....Brook
