Diesel's "151" 13 Run Pool

Diesel · Post by **Diesel** » Wed Mar 07, 2012 10:45 pm

I'm all about Fantasy Football...So in the off season, how do I twist baseball to fit my taste? By running and playing in a MLB pool that requires ZERO knowledge of baseball, and rewards NFFC Fantasy football leagues! Why? Because that's how I roll....LMAO

I've run this for around 5 years now and guys and girls love the pool and how easy it is to use the website. In some pools I run, some have offered tips in return for the time and effort I, or my friends put into the pool. NOT THIS POOL. All money goes into paying the pool website fees and to the prizes. This is all about using baseball to pay for our NFFC Football 2012.

Here's how it works...

$151 Per Entry. 30 Spots to fill here. Once I receive all 30 entry fees, and each player has signed up to our website's pool homepage, I click "Award Teams" on the home page. This randomly gives each one of us ONE team. That team is YOUR team all the way through to the end of our pool. (You may purchase as many spots as you like.)

The winner of this pool is the team that scores 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12 and 13 runs first. Our standings page will show all teams and a graph of 0-13...Each time a team scores a run, you will see an "X" on that score. At any time, you can click on any "X", and it will show you when that team scored that number, and also if they scored that number multiple times if you ever wanted to cross check the scores with MLB.com's database.

*The first THREE teams to score runs 0-13 will each win a 2012 NFFC Main Event team.($1500 value each)

*$151 covers the website fee and the 3 prizes exactly. Every penny goes to the prizes.

For now, all I want to do is make the signup list. No entry fees yet. Just a signup list and any questions you may have. Good luck to everyone!

I could see these leagues getting extremely nerve wracking, especially if one of your teams gets close. I can envision a team getting down to a specific run count to win the pool, and they score one run more or less on a given night. This will be so fun for the teams in contention.

like this : you need 9 runs. your the home team. it is 8-8 going to extra innings. man at second , nobody out. the next guy hits a 2 run homer just to make you sick.

A few years back I had the White Sox, and they hit a meaningless solo homer which gave them 10 runs (instead of 9). A week or so later I only needed ONE "hit" to win it all, and lead everyone by at least one "hit".

Wanna take a guess at which "hit" I never got??

Thanks for setting this up Marc, this really is a fun, fun pool!

I'll take an entry in this one, too. Maybe I'll get a team that can actually score 13 runs this time.

List updated...I have no idea who is good or bad in MLB...How many teams would people be happy getting out of the 30?
