TTP Suicide Pools 2008/09

**Regs** · 08-11-2008, 09:09 AM

Just a quick heads-up that we'll be running a few suicide pools here this season!

Pools Page: http://www.takethepiss.com/index.php?page=contests

There will be 4:

VMSL Premier
FVSL Premier
VMSL Masters
FVSL Masters

Cost will be nada and the winner of each pool will receive a TTP Hoodie.

Tres cool.

Should be good.

**johnnybluenose** · 08-11-2008, 10:56 AM

Excellent

**Sir M** · 08-11-2008, 02:46 PM

I'm stupid. How does this work?

**johnnybluenose** · 08-11-2008, 02:53 PM

Umm...I'm pretty sure you basically pick one team in each league to not lose, each week. If they lose and you picked them, you are out...it goes week to week and the last man standing wins.

Any Pete Rose risk attached?

Only if you play in the FVSL and your team never loses, that could be a problem.
But for VMSL teams, no risk.

They are separate pools guys, 4 of them.

**The Franchise** · 08-27-2008, 04:11 PM

When will these pools be up?

girth · 08-27-2008, 04:20 PM

I'm in! Don't know much about the VMSL but from what I hear their a step below the FVSL... sort of like a farm system.

**Regs** · 08-27-2008, 04:24 PM

They will be up by Monday, well, the FVSL ones will

**Regs** · 08-30-2008, 06:29 PM

These pools are now up and ready to go!

See the TTP home page for more details.

Cheers,

Regs.

A few entries trickling in...

First week of these pools are always the toughest. I took the following:

VMSL Prem: Sporting
VMSL Masters: BRM

FVSL Prem: PAU (I think)
FVSL Masters: FireRangers

FVSL Masters is difficult because there is such a difference in calibre. A little birdie has told me however that PAU Rangers will get SMOKED each and every game - here's hoping this pool doesn't go 12 rounds

**Sir M** · 08-31-2008, 04:18 PM

I took Inter in Prem, and Columbus in Masters (SU could be in tough

) Can I just go with the two and not the others Regs, or do I need to pick all four?

PS, I have no idea if my picks registered.

**Regs** · 08-31-2008, 04:23 PM

You can enter just one, you can enter all 4, doesn't really matter when they are all free to enter

If you submitted your picks you would have gotten a screen showing your picks. (your picks are in, twice even for the prem div

(Will take the second entry)).

**Sir M** · 08-31-2008, 08:50 PM

Thanks Regs. How do I view these?

**Regs** · 08-31-2008, 10:43 PM

Everyone's picks are posted AFTER the deadline... which means I should change the deadlines to earlier in the day so I can post them all...

**Captain Shamrock** · 08-31-2008, 11:44 PM

I think I have entered...........

**johnnybluenose** · 09-01-2008, 10:22 AM

Valley Prem: Chilli
Valley Masters: Rangers
VMSL Prem: Sporting
VMSL MAsters: Columbus
