March 17th Happy St. Patricks Day. Just a quick heads up in case anyone still is checking. I got everyone's entry fees, check the scoring and have paid the winners.
Time to move onto the NCAA and golf pools.
Thanks again,
Mack

Feb 3rd 10PM Now that was a long game and yet still entertaining at the end.
Scott Frasier and his buddy Rich Pearson finished first and second in the hold em pool. Pretty sure RIch took first last year. There will be an investigation. Nick Schultz, Troy Herrmann, Becky McNeill and Craig Grussing round out the top six, which happen to be the main money spots.
In the Multipler pool, Kim Bolduc took first place. Becky put her name on both leaderboards with a second place finish. Jason Edwardson beat Eli Shimanski by one point for third and the Dottavio Brothers edge two others for fifth place.
Congratulations to all the winners.
If you have yet to pay, now is the time to take care of your debts.
Finally, as always, I will review the stats and lineups over the next couple of days to insure accuracy. let me know if you have questions.
Thanks again,
Mack

Feb 3 6:30PM Baltimore is looking good. The lineups are updated.

Feb 3rd 3PM: I've updated the multiplier lineups with all the changes I had at 3PM. I will be out for the next few hours, so look for the rest of the lineup changes to be loaded by half-time.
Also, in reviewing the stats, three lineups had RG3 in their lineups for the last round of games. This was clearly an error, so i corrected it. Sorry for any confusion.
Good luck tonight,
Mack

Jan 20 10PM: What a wild day. Atlanta jumped all over SF and led 17-0 early in the 2nd quarter. And then they lost. Then NE came out and moved the ball up and down the field and led 13-7. And then they were outscored 21-0 the rest of the way.
That leaves us with the Harbaugh bowl. Not sure I have any interest, but I have two weeks to find a reason to watch.
The pages are updated.

Jan 20 2:15PM CST: The multiplier lineups are updated. Good luck.

Jan 13 9:30PM Another great game today between Atl and Sea. Most of the fourth quarter it look like Seattle had the game right where they wanted it. Then they made one mistake - "They scored to early". Matt Ryan made a couple of plays and he finally got his first playoff win.
NE took care of business in the second game to set up a rematch of las year's AFC championship game.
At first glance, it looks like two more good games next week. As for the pools, Gronkowski and the Seattle K have made it tough on a few people (like my wife). With three games left, it is time to make your move if you haven't already. FYI - I add a page that shows the remaining player in the holdem pool and all the pages should now be updated.
Good luck and take a moment to pay your entry fee if you are on the shinking list of unpaid players.

Jan 12 11:15PM Denver had the game all wrapped up until their defense left a guy run right past them. Then Peyton did his best Farve impression with a terrible throw across his body. As a result, many of us lost a bunch of players in the multiplier pool.
San Fran and Green Bay then continued the high scoring day. Colin Kapernick scored 50 fantasy points to lead SF to a route of the packers.
The standings are updated.

Jan 12 2PM CST I've posted the multiplier changes that have been sent to me. I am busy this afternoon, so I'll post the rest later tonight.
Good luck and enjoy the games,
Mack

Jan 6 6:45 PM The pages are all updated and once again someone from the Mackenthun household has taken over the cellar in on of the pools.
Lot of games left. Get your multiplier picks in before the games start next Saturday.
Take 5 minutes and pay your entry fee. THanks to those that have already paid.
Good luck,
Mack

Jan 5 11:15PM: Well, the Cin-Hou game was kiinda boring. The Min-GB game was completely unwatchable. I didn't realize just how much Christian Ponder carried the Vikings.
Everything should now be updated including the leaderboard. All lineups should be displayed as I had some rows hidden previously. Let me know if anything is not working or if your lineup is not entered correctly.
Good luck,
Mack

Jan 2, 2013 I'm back for my 21st year of playoff fantasy football! I'll be running both pools again this year, so have fun and good luck.
We will use the same rules as last year to keep it easy for the returning players. There are links to the rules on the left of this page.
Don't forget your tiebreakers.
Feel free to enter multiple lineups and/or recruit others to join the pool.
Couple of Reminder items on the multiplier pool:
Like the Hold 'em pool, the lineup for the wild card week must contain one player from each team. After the first week, you are welcome to load up on players from 1-2 teams.
Bye players get 2x in the second week of the pool even though it will be their first game played.
You keep the same tiebreaker players throughout the playoffs. Once they lose you stop accumulating tiebreaker points.
Tiebreaker players do get the multiplier.
Tiebreaker players may be added to your lineup after the wild card round. So after the wild card round you could have the same player in both you starting and tiebreaker lineups.
Either mail your entry fees:

or use paypal Macke35@yahoo.com but do pay in a timely manner.
Good Luck,
