a few rules.

This year i've elected to go with a points only contest. This system lends to a better prize pool, simplifies the contest and assures all winners of receiving their chips.

There are 17 weeks that comprise the NFL regular season. I've divided the contest into 5 segments. Weeks 1 thru 4, 5 thru 8, 9 thru 12, 13 thru 16 and week 17. After each 4 weeks of play, chips will be awarded to 1st, 2nd and 3rd place winners. The team scoring the most points will receive 1st place, 2nd most points ect. The same will hold true for weeks 8,12 and 16. Teams will start over with 0 points in weeks 5,9 and 13.You will be randomly assigned to a league and will remain in that league throughout the entire regular season.

I'm requesting that all team owners (coaches) send me: 4-$5.00 chips, 4-$2.50 chips, and 4-$1.00 chips. Chips should be as close to new as you can get them. New rack, new issus or L.E.s as an example. Chips can be from anyehere.

I'll take the responsibility of sending the chips to the winners.

PRIZE POOL: In a 10 team league, 1st place winner will receive 9-$5.00 chips. 2nd place will receive 9-$2.50 chips. 3rd place will receive 9-$1.00 chips. The winners will NOT receive their own chips. Those chips will be put into the 17th week prize pool consisting of 4-$5.00 chips. 4-$2.50 chips and 4-$1.00 chips. There will be only one winner in week 17. Most points total for that week takes the chips. Also for week 17. I'm going to throw in 1-$1.00 Terps,Blach Hawk,Co. chip....1-$5.00 HAN 2002, Reno chip and 1-$1.00 and 1-$5.00 chip from the soon to open Rolling Hills Casino in Corning,Ca. (That's assuming they have 1s and 5s.

I now have 15 interested chippers. I'd like to find a few more if possible. If you'd like to play, please LMK A.S.A.P. I can accommodate as many as want to play.

Those I have are:
Mark Lighterman

Jason Skinner

Brian Okiec
Robert Deli
