Football Challenge 2012 - Official Invitation

If you are receiving this it is because A) you were in the Football Challenge last year or B) someone thinks you are amazing enough at picking games that they want you in this pool...I suppose it could also be C) you're easy money.

If you are unfamiliar with the Football Challenge (which kicks off in only 75 days!!) let me break it down for you:

CONCEPT
Picking NCAA and NFL games against the spread every week with a chance to win weekly and season long prizes.

RULES
- Point spread league, we pick 15 games per week every week (5 NFL, 5 NCAA, 5 of your choice)
- 2 points for each win, 1 point for each tie = most points wins the week/season titles
- $$$ for weekly winners and season long winner, as well as Bowl champ and post-season champ
- $100 to enter gets you into everything: 18 weeks of regular season plus a bowl/playoff challenge
- spreads are sent Tuesday mornings using most current lines at that time, picks due by Thursday at NOON
- Recaps are sent weekly to all players as well as a weekly preview that summarizes all the picks and tries to make you laugh, cry, or get excited.

TIEBREAK
- New for this year is a tiebreak system, where you will turn in a MNF (Monday Night Football) pick every week against the spread to be used in a tiebreak (this game can also be part of your 15 for the week). If we still have a tie, it will be split amongst 2 guys but if more than 2 are tied it will carry over to the next week.

It's a pretty simple concept. It's all through email and very simple to play along. We had 17 guys last season, I know we'll be over 20 this year but it's up to all of you to determine where we'll be. I know many of you said that you had friends that were interested, so please send this on to them if you have not sent me their information.

If you are a new player and want in - shoot me an email and I'll put you on the list. I'll start collecting entry fees in August before the games start. This contest has only gotten better and better every year, so here's your chance to come aboard and enjoy the degenerate lifestyle for one low entry fee.

Also, if you're a current FC player and want out (never happened before, the lone drop out of the league is coming back) then please let me know that as well and I'll take you off the list.

Thanks - 75 days and counting...
