The Bulletin Box
And that’s the end of the regular season in the NFL…and what an end it was. Not only were there some really exciting games that were played that determined the playoff seedings, there were was an extreme amount of excitement and tension for the prizes that eventually did and didn’t get awarded in PSG.
First of all, a huge round of applause goes out to the 20 of you that won the PSG $50 6-Pack prize. Everyone likes to see their name in lights, so here they are:
White Tee: arhedia17, billy, brian, broncofan, chrisgizzy, codysmith, golfking2005, HowBoutThemGilas, jets2436, JKW, jlew, Leeny and SchaeferMan. On the Blue Tee: Annie, Bantam12, Deerhunter, Eagle, Riley, Seahawk and Spartan. Congratulations to all of you!!! The checks are in the mail today. That concludes the weekly 6-Pack Game, but stay tuned as there may be some other clever idea in the works!
Ok, here we go the final hole of the round for 2012…the 18th. This is a par 5 so remember that it plays into any tie-breaking calculations. This hole is different from the first 17 we’ve played. It’s an aggregate of how you do starting with next week’s Wild Card Games all the way through the Super Bowl. There are a total of 11 games that you will pick. The 4 WC games will be presented and you will have the ability to pick the 2 games on Saturday independent of the 2 Sunday games. This is just like how you could just pick the Thursday games without having to pick the rest. The following week, you’ll do the same thing with the Divisional Games. Then the following week, you pick the 2 Conference Championship Games and after that – The Super Bowl.
You’ll need to get at least 9 of the 11 correct to get a Birdie or better for those that are competing for the end of year prize. I have tallied up the under par scores through 17 holes and on the Blue tees, there are 3 of you with 3 Birds or Better and 6 of you with 2 Birds or Better. On the White Tee, there is a run-away train as one player has 6 Birdies or Better and no-one can catch them. These prizes will be awarded at the conclusion of the 18th Hole.
Now for the drama that was the PSG 2nd Chance Survivor Pool. There were two entries going into the final regular season week and both of them took the one of only 3 home teams that lost – New Orleans! Rumor on the street is that one of them originally decided to take Pittsburg and then at some point must have changed their minds and went with the Saints instead…
Be sure to check out the new “From the Stands” feature on the home page of PigSkinGolf where you can put up some smack, do some braggin or set up some side stuff. Whatever you do, it’s a cool way of communicating with the other players.
Be watching for the end of the round survey from Survey Monkey asking some very simple, but important questions about this unique game.
That’s all for now, Happy New Year to all of you from PigSkinGolf and thank you very much for playing.
