I've just been thinking about it and it seems to make sense...

or is someone already doing that?

or do none of you watch football?

Alright goodstuff. I'll try and figure out a good way for this to work. And then I'll have to see how many people will actually be interested. The playoffs are more difficult then the regular season I presume. I'll see, but if like 3 people are in it's pointless.

Hmm, maybe I'll do it for the hockey playoffs...

Nice idea, but we watch soccer in britain. I dislike it though, and all the british on this board like Arsenal

Ok I'm trying to figure out the best way to work this.

I'm thinking for the football playoffs there will be an enterance fee where everyone has to promise to give up a certain amount of goop, or maybe the goop could be handed over to a mod.

(I think this would be the best way to do this because doing it per game, or even per week, is too much of a hassle and more complicated. The football playoffs don't last that long anyway.)

Now when it starts everyone picks what team before it starts. Whoever picks the team who wins the Superbowl rtakes the net goop. If two or more people have the same team by the superbowl they can guess what the score will be and that will determine who wins.

I'll be away from the 27 of dec to jan 7... I'm not sure if I'll have access to a computer. So that kindof causes a problem since I think the playoffs start on the 4th.

I'm going to work on making this more interesting, maybe I'll add a system with odds, and/or maybe have ranks, so not just the winner gets all the goop.

What do you think a reasonable enterance fee would be? 1000 goop? (I'm not playing personally) It would be nice if the winner gets a solid amount of goops.
