I sent a email to Andy and with his permission, I will be running the Chippers Pro Football $1 & $5 contests this year.

I had a great time with this last year, let's have lots of fun this year also!!

The ONLY way to enter either contest will be to sign-up when I make the official posts asking for entries. That will be sometime this weekend. Do NOT E-Mail me asking me to save you a spot. It does not work that way. You must also be a member.

THIS IS NOT THE OFFICIAL ENTRY NOTICE.......Just a heads up that the contest will be running. I will post this weekend, Saturday or Sunday. When I post it will look like this:

"Chippers 10th Annual Pro Football $1 Contest!"

"Chippers 10th Annual Pro Football $5 Contest!"

Those will be the titles of the posts when I am ready to take people for the contest.

So keep your eyes open this weekend for the posts!!

Any questions please email me and I will do my best to answer them.

For those that are new, here is a break down from Andy of how the contest works....
(for the $5 dollar contest, substitute $5 for $1 in the instructions below)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Each person is putting up 4 $1 chips for the regular contest. They can be from anywhere, but MUST be chips in very good shape with NO damage AND chips that are or were used in a CASINO! The Contest will be in two parts (first half & second half of the season) PLUS a 33 point pool! The $1 chips for the 33 point pool are in ADDITION to the other 4 chips you are putting up above. So, keep in mind that you are putting up 4 $1 chips for the entire season AND whatever $1 chips are needed for the 33 point pool.

In the 33 point pool your team just needs to score 33 points win or lose. The chipper who has the team that scores 33 points will get 20 $1 chips & the chipper who has the other team in that game will get 10 $1 chips! We will only add another $1 chip once the 33 point pool is hit. IF it does not get hit for the entire regular season (or the regular season ends without it getting hit an additional time) then the 33 point pool ends. The team you have in the regular contest is also your 33 point pool team!

If more than one team scores points for the week then we will SPLIT the 30 chips between ALL of the winners!

The regular part of the contest will include the first half of the season (after your team has played their FIRST 8 games) & then the second half (after your team has played their LAST 8 games). This way one person does not get stuck with the same dog for the entire season! Whoever has the team with the best record at the end of the first half of the season will get 20 $1 chips & the person who has the team with the second best record in the first half of the season gets 10 $1 chips. The same thing for the second half of the season.

Whoever has the team with the worst record at the end of the first half of the season will get 20 $1 chips & the person who has the team with the second worst record in the first half of the season gets 10 $1 chips. The same thing for the second half of the season.

Tie breakers will be most points scored, followed by least amount of points given up for the best record part of the contest. It will be least amount of points scored followed by most points given up for the worst record part of the contest.
