College Football Bowl Pick Em Contest

Dr. Sak · 12-09-2008, 07:23 AM

Hey everyone! Some of you joined my pick em during the regular season and now I am doing one for the bowl season. I have added some prizes, so please feel free to join, it is free.

SIGNUP - Third Annual In The Bleachers Bowl Bonanza | In The Bleachers College Football Blog

Quote:

For the third year in a row, In The Bleachers will be sponsoring a Bowl Bonanza where readers and bloggers can pick the winners of bowl games and win prizes from the In The Bleachers College Football Blog. For those wanting to join, we are going to use the Fun Office Pools software that we used for the Pick Em contest that ran through out the season.

This year's contest will be a bit different than the last two years. This year you have to pick a winner for each game and assign a confidence factor to each game and those are the points you will accumulate if you win that pick.

To sign up, go to the Fun Office Pools' website. If you haven't already registered there, take a second and make a username with a password that is unique to only you.

Next on the front page click on the Join Pool button under the College Bowl Pick 'Em logo. You should be taken to a page that looks like this...

Pool Type: College Bowl Pick 'Em
Pool Name: In The Bleachers' Bowl Bonanza (make sure you type it in exactly like I did)
Password: bleachers
Selection Name: (This is the name that your picks will be given in the pool (not necessarily the same as your username you used to sign up with), so something like My Great Picks, or Sure Winners, or simply Kev's Picks. You can have different selection names for each different pool you join.)

Prizes
Prizes will be handed out for the people who finish in 1st, 2nd, and 3rd as laid out below. Remember to do the tiebreaker because that will break all ties for bowl games.

1st Place: $50 Dollar Gift Card to any of the http://www.gianteagle.com/GiftCards/browse.aspx?cntid=177291stores listed here
2nd Place: $25 Dollar Gift Card to any of the http://www.gianteagle.com/GiftCards/browse.aspx?cntid=177291stores listed here
3rd Place: A copy of one of the following books, The USA Today College Football Encyclopedia, Sports Illustrated: The College Football Book, or The Maisel Report: College Football's Most Overrated and Underrated Players, Coaches, Teams, and Traditions.

Good luck! Sign up and get your picks in early! The first games begin on December 20th!

If anyone has problems signing up, I had to put a space at the end of the pool name to get the sign-up to work.

Pumpy Tudors · 12-09-2008, 06:55 PM

Even with the space, I keep getting a "pool name does not exist" error.

Dr. Sak · 12-09-2008, 07:23 PM
