WEEK TEN RESULTS

First off congrats go out to poolie Sean Fagan on the birth of his daughter (?) a few days ago (Wednesday?)! Not sure of any details so feel free to fill us in Fagan! Nice work!

Secondly I'm revisiting the contentious issue of weekly pick deadlines. Here's the deal folks. While MOST poolies respect the fact that in fairness to everyone else there is a deadline each week. Unfortunately I've heard many an excuse as to why those picks are still coming in late. NO MORE!!!

If your picks are late here (again) are the rules. If you submit your picks after kick-off of the first game you forfeit that game AND 4 POINTS. If your picks are submitted after kick-off of the second or subsequent games you forfeit those games as well. For example, this week's first game is on FRIDAY at 7:30 Pm Eastern time. This means I should have your picks by 6:30 PM Central time. If you don't send in your picks until 8:30 Pm Central you will lose whatever points you placed on that game plus a penalty of 4 points. So here's a hint. If you know you're late just put 1 point on the game you lose and you still have a shot at a 5 point week.

This pool has been plagued by accusation of impropriety in the past and I will refuse to extend favours. I apologize if this insults those of you who send your picks in promptly each week. Here are the rest of the deadlines for the season...

Week Eleven - FridaySsep. 2, 6:30 PM CDT
Week Twelve - Thursday Sep. 8, 6:00 Pm CDT
Week Thirteen - Friday Sep. 16, 7:00 PM CDT

WEEK NINE RESULTS

First off, congratulations go out to Mark and his lovely wife Tricia on the birth of this handsome fellow to your left, Asher Finn Klassen. Along with his proud Mama and Papa we'd like to congratulate fellow poolies Dr. Grampa Don Klassen and Uncle Chad Klassen. Nice work Mark!

Now, as far as results this week it was tough sledding for most poolies. Six of you tried out your four-pointers and the most anyone could muster was 8 points. Better luck next time!

Our new leader (we've all seen him before) is the East Coast sensation Grant Hilliard. Good job Grant! Unfortunately Grant used up the last of his 4-pointers and will have to do some sweet picking to hold onto that lead. It's also nice to see the Loeppky sisters showing their support for each other by tieing for 11th spot. Way to go girls!
