Feb 1 9:10PM Great game. From the catch that wasn't a catch, to the comeback by Seattle to tonight's see-saw affair, it was a great playoff series.
Congrats to Steve Bohn and Mark Anderson for winning the Hold em and Multiplier pools, respectively.The multiplier lineups are updated, so is the scoring through half-time.
I'll check the scoring Monday night, and the checks will go out on Tuesday. If you won, send your address. If you have questions on the rosters or scoring, let me know.
Thanks again, Mack
March Madness in 6 weeks!
Feb 1 7:45PM The multiplier lineups are updated, so is the scoring through half-time.
Jan 18 9:45PM The pages are updated to include the stats from both games. Crazy turnover filled first game. I was the only one with 3x on the GB kicker, so I thought I might run away with it, but then Lynch and Wilson started scoring and I fell back again.
Talk again in 2 weeks as the top seeds are meeting for the second straight year. Should be a great game - Great offense vs Great Defense. Let's go!
Jan 18 1:45PM I updated the multiplier lineups to include all the changes I have as of 1:30. If there are more changes, I'll update those later. Good luck.
Jan 15 11:15PM FYI - I made a couple of lineup corrections and updated the scoring for CJ Anderson. All the pages have been updated.
Also, the payment data is current - Thanks again for taking care of this prior to the pool conclusion.Jan 11 11:15PM Two more entertaining games today. Just not a big fan of the results.
The pages are updated with the stats through the Divisional round. I'm pretty much out, so good luck to the rest of you.
Jan 10 11:00PM The pages are updated with the stats from today's games.
Jan 10 3:30PM The Multiplier lineups are updated. Good luck and go Cowboys!
The Payment data is current through yesterday's mail. Thanks to everyone for your timely responses.
Jan 5 3PM I added a page showing the remaining players in the Hold 'em pool. I also created a page which will allow you to enter your Multiplier changes.
Finally, the pages are updated with all the payments I have received through last night. If you have not aid, please reference the info near the bottom of this page for payment instructions.
Jan 4 9PM The pages are updated through today's games. Take a look at your lineups and let me know if you have questions.
If you're in the Multiplier pool, your changes are due before the game starts on Saturday. I'll create a guestbook page for lineup changes later tonight.
Good luck - Mack
Jan 4 11AM As you probably noticed, the lineups are not uploading correctly. I think I got it fixed. I now get to attend a 5-year old birthday party, so I'll answer emails later today. Thanks and good luck, Mack
Jan 3 7PM CST I keyed and loaded all the lineups. Please note, I keyed them while watching the game. If you see anything questionable, I may have keyed it wrong. I'll update the scoring and review the rosters in the morning. Good Luck - Mack
Jan 3, 2:30 CST One hour to kick-off, I will be out this afternoon, I'll update all the rosters before the second game starts.

Make sure to check this week's injury reports. When reading between the lines (coach speak is my second language), it does not sound good for several prominent players. Specifically, Le'Veon Bell and AJ Green are very questionable to play this week, but may return for a possible second round game. Good Luck.

Happy New Year!
Playoff Football will soon be in the air. And for the 23rd year in a row, I will be running a playoff fantasy football pool. Get a team or two and you will finally have a reason to watch the Arizona/Carolina game and the Cincinnati/Indy game.
Only one rule change this year, all league fees are due before the divisional round games start. I don't have time to hunt down payments nor do I enjoy sending numerous repetitive emails in an effort to collect $10 from a couple of slow payers. If you can't pay in a timely manner, don't pay. If the collection process drags on again, you may get banned from future pools.
I spent time reviewing possible new host sites to possibly upgrade to a real-time scoring system, but I could not find anything that would fit this league, so I will continue with the same rules, web site and trusty excel model.
Two Pools again this year - the Hold 'em and the Multiplier pool.
Don't forget your tiebreakers.
Feel free to enter multiple lineups and also recruit friends to join the pool.
Couple of quick notes on the Hold 'em pool:
Your starting lineup must contain one player from each team.
Tiebreaker players can be from one team and there is no position restriction on those players.
Tiebreaker players cannot be in your starting lineup.
You keep the same tiebreaker players throughout the playoffs. Once they lose you stop accumulating tiebreaker points.
Couple of quick notes 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 if they were included in your starting lineup.
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.
Please do pay in a timely manner
Either mail your entry fees:
Brian Mackenthun
8200 Kelzer Pond Drive
Victoria MN 55386
or use PayPal Macke35@yahoo.com. If you use PayPal, please add a $1 to cover the fees.
Good Luck,
Mack
