So, uh, who's going to be NFL Pool Commish this year?

[Sir_Winston54]

Yeah, I'm retiring. Any volunteers?






Please? I want to play; I just don't want to run the pool again. I think term limits have set in, yanno?

I only like college ball. And even then, I follow an awful team.

I think we can pony up some perks to get you to do it!

PoolHost offers college ball pools, too, you know. And I'd be willing to play in that, too, as long as someone else runs it.

Deege, I've done it for, I think, at least four or five years, and I'm tired - not *just* of setting it up and doing reminders and things, but just ... tired. I'm old, man.

I'm seeing you beside the road, cardboard in hand: "Tired. Old. Run my pool. God bless."

I wish I were so inclined, but in the immortal words of Peter Gibbons...

I really appreciate that you have ran the pool in the past years. I have enjoyed it. At his time I can't commit to taking on the task of running it.

Is is possible to just set it up but skip the reminders? Let everyone being adult about remembering to vote. We can even remind each other.

What else exactly is needed to be able to run it?

It's possible to set it up just about any way one wishes. The pool admin could just send out a general (all players) reminder once a week, or none at all.

As far as what's needed to run it: Some means of getting onto the internet; a browser compatible with their pages (I know it works with both IE and Firefox; not sure about Chrome, etc.); and honestly... I think that's about it. Oh... a bit of time for the housekeeping things, like posting weekly results in the pool thread, etc. Though actually, one wouldn't even really have to do that. The results are available to all players in a pool through the website (poolhost.com) as soon as the last game is over.

I really do hope someone will take it up...

Ok...I'm thinking about it.

I would need to know who would be interested in participating if I did take it on?

I certainly would.

Last season's players were:

You
Me
LilacSky

Lizzie Borden
Naxalite

I've not seen many of them around here lately.

ETA: Just to see if some or all of them might want to play again, I just sent an e-mail to the entire group (including e-sub and myself, lol) to invite them to drop in here and let us know if they'll be participating.
