Instructions for using the Excel Pool Entry Form
As I've said before, to fill out the interactive entry form and send it to me, you MUST save your picks on your computer. Then email the file you saved to me as an attachment. That's the only way I will get your picks! That's because the form is not a true online form. But it's still very easy to use. If you have something that will work with Excel spreadsheets.

So yeah the start of the CFL season is fast approaching, so let's get together at a downtown establishment, to talk football, eat, and whatever, and pay our entry fees for the season. How is Tuesday, June 20th at 6:00 PM! LOCATION IS NOW DECIDED: Santa Lucia Pizza, 4 St Mary's Road, Upstairs Patio!! This get together is optional, you don't have to attend to enter the pool. But it is a good time, and a chance to pay your entry fees for the season. So if you know you're coming, let me know! Need to know how many seats to save!
So here's the SCHEDULE for 2017's pools!
POOL 1: Covers CFL weeks 1 to 7, Thursday, June 22 to Saturday, August 5th. That's 29 games.
POOL 2: Covers CFL weeks 8 to 13, Thursday, August 10 to Sunday, September 17th. This one's 24 games.
POOL 3: Covers CFL weeks 14 to 20, plus the playoffs! Starts Friday, September 22nd and goes right to Grey Cup Sunday, November 26! And this one is a whopping 33 games including the playoffs AND the Grey Cup Final!
THE SAME FORMAT: Yeah, this is yet another year of 3 CFL "MINI" pools! Wow. Each one based on a different part of the season. And it's just like the curling pool format, where you predict the results of specific games! I miss the player pools with player drafts. But, while they were fun, they were a lot more work. This format is work enough in the summer. Just games, games, games! Every game of the CFL season, except the Pre-Season, is on the pools!
WHAT TO DO: So what you do is: Using the entry form, predict the winners of all the games in each pool. (For Pool 3, predict the teams that will play in the Playoffs and Grey Cup Final, and the winners of these as well!)
THEN: After predicting all the game winners, you add RANK POINTS to each prediction, based on how sure you are of each. You would apply the highest points to your most sure prediction, and the lowest points to your least sure prediction, for ALL the games you picked.
THAT'S IT in a nutshell. For more detailed description, see the RULES document using the links above. Or check out the ENTRY FORM, and just go for it already!
Yes, why not get some of your friends or family into this, it's only 2 bucks, and hey that will make the pot a little sweeter for the winners! Which will be YOU, right? Sure, of course! We welcome anybody with money, and who thinks they can predict CFL Football!

When was the last tie game in the CFL? (Regular season - not pre-season) Well! ... They're getting a little more common lately. We had one already in 2017. Friday, June 23rd, Calgary at Ottawa! 31 - 31 tie in overtime. Before that, Friday, July 8, 2016! Calgary at Ottawa again! Final score 26 - 26. Which was the first tie since 2009! October 17, 2009: Sask 44 @ Calgary 44. And before that, there were two in 2007: June 28, 2007, Wpg 39 @ Edm 39; and August 17, 2007, BC 45 @ Cal 45. And another in 2004. So, sure we were due! There's your recap as of July 9 2017!
