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

Sounds cool. Any criteria on the cigars ?
I used to sit outside all night and drink bud lite and smoke Marlboros and everyone thought I was a bum. Now I sit outside all night and drink craft beers and smoke cigars and everyone thinks I have class.

How about $5-$15 a stick. Use Cigars International or Famous Smokes for pricing.

So 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.

We will send the cigars to the winner at the end. Then the winner will send the guy that comes in second his cigars. As far as the value of the sticks you send, I will leave it up to you. We will use a guideline of $5-$15 per cigar. I have had some $5 sticks that were better than some that cost $15.

This looks good, I'm in.  My brother runs one like this except its a loser pool, same rules except we pick a loser each week and its $20 a head.  Some years it makes it thru the playoffs and in one year it was over by week 4, you never know.

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

Ok guys. So far we have 9 entries. I would like to get at least one more. It will only cost you 5 cigars for a chance to win 45 sticks. 5 would go to second place. That is based on 10 entries. It is a a low maintenance pool. Come on and sign up.
