Here are the rules for this year's pick'em. I will be keeping up with the ones each week who are late posting their picks, will just be sending a friendly reminder if necessary to those who haven't posted say by Thursday for Saturday only games, for example.

The rules are the same as last year:

1. The games for each week's SoWal Pick'em will be posted on or before Monday evenings
2. The deadline for making your pick for any game is 9 AM Central Time on date of that game.
3. Anyone who misses the deadline (as defined in #2 above) will forfeit all games not picked for that date.
4. Any changes after a pick is made must appear in a new post, not in an edited prior post, and by 9 AM Central Time for the date of the game for which your pick is changed. Failure to do this will result in your change being invalid.
5. Each correct pick earns one point.
6. The winner of the SoWal Pick'em will be the person who has the most points, not the highest percentage of correct picks.
7. Bonus questions may be included later in the season in case a tie-breaker is needed. The points from these questions will not be added to a picker's total points for the season.
8. Leaders for each week, for the regular season, and for the bowl games will be recognized. However, the winner of the SoWal Pick'em will be the person with the most wins for the season, including bowl games.

Happy picking!

Hi Bac, welcome to the pick'em. You just post your picks right here. Copy and paste and then highlight your choices. Glad to have you.

Thanks....do we pick against the spread, or just the winner of the game? ( I think the winner?)

Do we all get together periodically to watch a game or two, like at Shades or ?, or does everyone enjoy their pseudo- anonymity in solace?

Any " real" football pools anyone knows of , natch just wagering " for fun".?

Appreciate the insight... Looking forward to it.

That's a good idea. Some of us (like me) live out of town, so could only get together occasionally. There are some locals doing the pick'ems who might enjoy getting to getting and doing some football smack talk. Obviously I am a Gator fan.

Actually back in the mid-2000's, SoWallers would get together once or twice a year for a party (we called it a "soiree"). That's why many of us on the board know each other. It would be nice if we could have that camaraderie again.
