2 did not send in selections (Alitan & Groin Pull) and get the home record (5-11).
This is the third non-selecting week for Alitan and as a result he can’t receive a Super Bowl Grid box or be eligible for the Last Place prize.  He can continue to select weekly and remains eligible for any weekly, monthly or annual prizes except Last Place.

2)  Week 12 is the last week for the November monthly prize (Weeks 8-12). The contenders are: Fredbird00 & Syc-38 Wins; Jonny Trends & Krr239-37 Wins; Grandpa Ron, Big Boppa & Adamfranklin-36 Wins.
You can check your total wins for the month by going to Office Pool, hit Standings, then Part Season Standings and select Week 8 as Start Week and Week 12 as End Week.

3) Thanksgiving Week-If you miss selecting any game on Thursday November 26th, you get the visitor on the missed Thursday game (3 games on Thursday), you are ineligible for the weekly prize but remain eligible for the monthly prize if you select the remaining 13 games by the Sunday @ Noon deadline. Of course, if you don’t send in selections, you get the worst record from the home, visitor, favorite or underdog and are NOT eligible for the monthly prize

4) 4 alive in KOTH II (Dunlap27, Grandpa Ron, Mr. Rutgers & Team Odo).   KOTH II begins in Week 12 (191 Guppies alive) and the 4 remaining Guppies from KOTH II can either designate a separate Best Bet for KOTH II & KOTH III or select one team as a Best Bet for both contests.

5) There will be Thursday games thru Week 16. These games must be selected prior to    8 PM on Thursday (There are special rules for Thanksgiving week). Office Pool requires that in order for the Thursday game to count as a valid selection, you must select the remaining 15 games on the schedule and total points prior to the Thursday 8PM deadline.  However, you may change the Post-Thursday games anytime that you wish prior to Sunday at Noon (unless there is a Saturday game) deadline.

6) Regular Winners: Chargers-164; Colts-157; Eagles-155.
Losers: Lions-172; Steelers-169; Bengals-165.

7) If there is a tie for worst record in a week, the home/visitor is used before the favorite/underdog and the visitor is always used first. This is only important for the KOTH contests.

8 ) If you didn’t sign up for our College Bowl or Pro Playoff contests, you can still do so.  The cost is $20 per contest and the deadline is Nov. 30. Mail checks to Dennis.

Week 10 Notes

STEVE  PINE MEMORIAL GRIDIRON GUPPY WEEK 10 NOTES (2009)

 1) Congrats To Best Week Winner-Fredbird00 (F. Schpero)-12 Wins Congrats To Best Week Runnerup-Jetspinner (A. Cantor)-11 Wins (32 Pts)Close But NO Cigar-11 Wins-Lighthouse (39 Pts); Professor Reyes (39 Pts); Bennyb1  (41 Pts); Adamfranklin (41 Pts) & Mickey & the Duke (42 Pts)      
 
   Everyone sent in selections in Week 10 but 5 Guppies did not select the Thursday game and were awarded Chicago (Visitor).  They were not eligible for the weekly prize but remain eligible for the November Best Month prize and are not charged with a non-selecting week. The 5 were:  Antunesn, Cypress Fats, Emes Firebird, Fastfred48 & Robbiegrand.

Dartmouth Diamonds emailed sections to administrator due to having computer problems getting into Office Pool prior to the Noon Sunday deadline.  You will note selections were posted prior to the 1PM kickoff.  Dartmouth Diamonds had selected Chicago prior to the 8 PM Thursday deadline so they were eligible for the Week 10 Best Week Prize.

Please do not select half points when selecting total points for the tiebreaker even though Office Pool allows it.  The tiebreaker is to guess the total points scored in the Monday game.  There has never been a half point scored in the history of the NFL. If you do not listen and continue to do this, we will use the whole number selected with no rounding (Ex: You select 39.5 points, your selection is 39 points).

2)  9 alive in KOTH II.  KOTH III begins in Week 12.

3)  There will be Thursday games thru Week 16. These games must be selected prior to   8 PM on Thursday (There are special rules for Thanksgiving week). Office Pool requires that in order for the Thursday game to count as a valid selection, you must select the remaining 15 games on the schedule and total points prior to the Thursday 8PM deadline.  However, you may change the Post-Thursday games anytime that you wish prior to Sunday at Noon (unless there is a Saturday game) deadline. 

4) Thanksgiving Week-If you miss selecting by the Thursday (November 26th) @ Noon deadline, you get the visitors on the Thursday games (3 games) & you are ineligible for the weekly prize but remain eligible for the monthly prize if you select the remaining 13 games by the Sunday @ Noon deadline. Of course, if you don’t send in selections, you get the worst record from the home, visitor, favorite or underdog and are NOT eligible for the monthly prize
