9) LAST PLACE RULE-You must select in Week 17 to “win” the $250 Last Place prize.  Boybe, Captain Jack & Rickyrude and anyone not selecting in Week 17 are not eligible for this prize since they either have 3 or more non-selecting weeks and/or they didn’t select in Weeks 16 or 17.

10) The Pro Playoff Contest rules will be emailed to everyone around January 1st.  There are 195 eligible Guppies (see Participant List) who may compete.  Please do not select if you are not eligible to participate even though you received an email. There is $1,960 in prize money (One Guppy paid after the season began). Prize money will be announced at a later date once Office Pool expenses are determined.

11) 2^nd Page Dennis will be away from January 8-15.  As a result, December monthly prizes and annual prizes and the College Bowl contest prizes will be mailed on or about January 22^nd.

12) College Bowl Contest Update-This year, we allowed College Bowl Guppies to make selections after the start of the 1st Bowl game with omitted games considered a loss. However, as noted in the rules, in order to win the Last Place prize, you must have selected all 35 games.  An error was made in the College Bowl prize money posting.  The Guppy who paid after the season began joined the Pro Playoff contest, not the College Bowl contest.  As a result, there are still147 paid eligible participants but $1,470 in the prize pool, not $1,480.  The $10 will be deducted from amount allocated to expenses.  That amount will now be $150, NOT $160.

13) A HAPPY & HEALTHY NEW YEAR TO ALL OF OUR GUPPIES AND THEIR FAMILIES!!!!!
