I had the idea of starting a survivor pool for the upcoming Premier League season. It seems like there might be sufficient interest to do one. I had one idea about how I wanted to run it, and a member here suggested the possibility of using a website to manage the pool. It looks like the website no longer offers that option, however -- so Ill need to manage it myself. I'll see if I can figure out a website to administer it, but it may have to start as an email process if I don't. I think that there are a few different ways to do the pool, so I'd like to get some feedback about what you all would like best. This just a broad outline of the possibilities, and we can fine-tune rules once we make a collective choice.
Basic Rules:
A) Pick a team each week to win or draw. Teams can be picked only one time in each half of the season (that is, surviving entries have 20 teams to choose from following the first 19 games) and there is only one pool for the season.
B) Pick a team each week to win or draw. Teams can only be picked one time in each half of the season, but we run separate pools for the "Hinrunde" and "Rückrunde".
C) Pick a team each week to win or draw. Teams may be picked twice per season. There is only one pool for the whole season.
Mulligan:
A) Allow a player to buy back in following an elimination in week 1 or week 2.
B) Do not allow a player to buy back in following an elimination.
Entry Fee:
A) $20
B) $50
C) $100
Winnings:
A) Winner take all
B) 70%/20%/10% for first, second and third
