The FREE Excel Rain Man Football Survivor Pool (FSP) is back for Season 7 and Allyssa has pulled out all of the stops by creating both a PC and Mac solution (you ask and you shall receive)… so pick ‘um pool managers can outsource much of their job as FSP commish with a spreadsheet solution that will knock your socks off. Special thanks to Laura for the face-lift to the templates… you should see her other ridic spreadsheet works of art.
For those of you who don’t know, this is an Excel Rain Tool for managing your own survivor-style football pool using Microsoft Excel. Survivor Pool spreadsheets still aren’t really available on the market these days (you’re welcome), and offices continue to block access to the available online providers (WTF?).
With this useful and discrete tool, pool managers can look as though they are working on quarterly P&L’s while secretly picking their weekly League W/L’s! Here’s the deal.
Rules:
– Each week pool participants will choose one football team to win, straight up (i.e. no spreads)
– Once a participant has chosen a team, they will be unable to choose that team for the remainder of the season
– If your team wins, you move on to the next week
– The league manager can choose single or double elimination style and how to handle ties in NFL games
Logistics:
– A Pool Manager is needed to coordinate this “spread-tasterpiece” and will enter selections each week for the participants
– The manager must download the associated Mac/PC template for it to properly run on their computer
– Each Pool Participant will email his or her weekly selection to the pool manager (prior to the first game of the week)
DON’T FORGET the 1st game of the season is Steelers @ Patriots on Thursday, September 10th @ 8:30 pm… which may be sans Tom Brady.
