Week 10:
This week the praises of Caroline,
We sing for all her picks so fine!
While other weeks were not her best,
This week she flew above the rest!
At seventy nine, her percentage topped
The chart while other pickers flopped.
Favorite? Underdog? It didn't matter,
If Caroline picked you, your foes you would slaughter!
An excellent week, which will go down in history,
While her picking methodology remains shrouded in mystery.
In other news, the leaderboard took some good scrambling this week, with only five players remaining motionless. Clara makes the biggest positive move of the week, from 11th to 6th, into a tie with her Uncle Ben. The gap between first and second has also shrunk quite a lot this week. |

Scoring: Each correct pick earns you a point. In addition to that, each correct underdog pick earns you a bonus point. Underdogs are indicated by the presence of a number next to the team name on the pick sheet, representing the number of points that they are expected to lose by (point spread).
Deadlines: It is in your interest to make your picks accurately and get them in on time. Late submissions may be allowed at the discretion of the poolmaster; changes in picks, after the submission deadline, are not allowed. |

The winner at the end of the regular season gets their name engraved on the plaque of the trophy. The previous year's winner is responsible for getting the plaque updated, and the trophy mailed to the new winner in a timely fashion. Mark and Rosa have set the bar very high for turnaround time here.
Note: only family members are eligible for the family trophy. Other invited players are eligible for the "Family and Friends" trophy.
While we do run a pool for the postseason, there is no prize other than the honor of winning. |
