Hi! Here we are at the start of what looks to be a normal CFL season this year! Seems like Covid may be just a slight annoyance? Let's hope. So let's get going then! First some announcements. Then scroll down to find all the 2022 Pools!
STUPID COVID RULE: Well! Covid isn't really gone, yet, so here's a rule about games that get postponed, or even cancelled. Required last season, hopefully not again this year! So here goes!
GAME POSTPONED RULE: If a game gets postponed, we wait until it gets rescheduled. If it is postponed past the end of Pool 1, I will check to see if the game makes any difference to the people in the money spots. If not, we just forget the game and award prizes. But if so, we wait until it gets played, or cancelled! Pain in the neck, but what else can we do.
GAME CANCELLED RULE: The CFL said last year: "According to CFL protocols, if a game is cancelled due to COVID-19 issues and can't be rescheduled, the club suffering from the COVID-19 issues will forfeit a 1-0 loss. If both squads have COVID-19 issues, each will forfeit the game and be assigned losses."
WHAT THIS MEANS TO US: For our pool then, we do exactly what they do. One or both teams are awarded losses by the CFL, and so we do exactly the same. And we may not award Pool 1 prizes until the game (or games) are resolved! Whenever that is! Unfortunate. But hey, Stupid Covid!
As for players missing games due to Stupid Covid, and the team losing because of it, well, that's just a risk we have to take.
So first off, here's the SCHEDULE for 2022's pools! A normal CFL season this year, with 21 regular season weeks, followed by the usual playoff schedule!
POOL 1: Covers CFL weeks 1 to 7, Thursday, June 9 to Saturday, July 23. This one is 27 games.
POOL 2: Covers CFL weeks 8 to 14: Starts Thursday, July 28 and goes to Saturday, September 10th! That's 28 games.
POOL 3: The final pool of the season! Covers CFL regular season weeks 15 to 21, plus the playoffs! Starts Friday, September 16, and goes right to Grey Cup Sunday, November 20th! And this one is 31 games including the playoffs AND the Grey Cup Final! Played in Regina this year! Ooh Rider country!
This space reserved for advertising. HAHAHA just kidding NO WAY man!! All I "advertise" is the CFL, its website, and a couple other websites. See links below!
If you've been in on the Curling pools, you know those were 5 bucks each. Same will apply to our Football pools now! 5 bucks, up from $2. Two and 1/2 times the price. BUT, likewise, two and 1/2 times the prizes! So the 2019 Pool 3 first prize was $35. With the new entry fee, that would have been... $87.50!! So... Even MORE better than a kick in the pants!!
(And speaking of entry fees, with everything being locked down, we just did e-Transfers mostly! Worked rather well! But whatever works.)
(For Pool 2 just scroll down a bit)

THE SAME FORMAT: Yeah, this is yet another year of CFL "MINI" pools! Each one based on a different part of the season. Back to the usual THREE pools in 2022. And all you gotta do is predict the results of all the CFL games! Every game of the CFL season, except the Pre-Season, is on the pools!
WHAT TO DO: (If you're new to the pools)... What you do is: Using the entry form, predict the winners of all the games in each pool. You can also predict a TIE for regular season games! (Scroll way down for a summary of TIES in the CFL.) For Pool 2, predict the teams that will play in the Playoffs and Grey Cup Final as well, and of course the winners of these! (No ties in the playoffs!)
THEN: After predicting all the game winners or ties, you apply 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, using each number ONLY ONCE, for ALL the games you picked. Then send your entry in!!
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 oops uh 5 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! Or not predict it! Hahahaa!
So yeah the start of the 2022 CFL season is fast approaching, so let's get together at a restaurant or patio, to talk football, eat, and whatever! What do you say?
When? Thursday, June 9! Season opening day!
Time? Say, 6:30 PM.
Where? Stella's on Provencher! It's in the CCFM building! Stella's au CCFM, Centre Culturel Franco-Manitobain, 340 Provencher Blvd, Winnipeg, MB R2H 0G7.
It's just a 4 minute drive from Portage and Main! There you go! There's 4 of us so far! 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 talk football, and pay your entry fees for the season, or whatever! And Covid is totally over so we can actually get together! (Right??) So if you're interested, let me know! So I can know how big a table to get! Or if you're keen, beat me there! Okay then!
