Welcome to the 13^th Annual College Football Bowl Challenge!

Rules for the College Bowl Challenge:

1. Pick a winner for each of the 35(!) 2011/2012 college football bowl games
2. Rank each game from 1-35, assigning a number once and only once. Give 35 points to the winner you feel most confident in, and 1 point to your least favorite pick.
3. Get your ballot(s) and the $5 entry fee to me before the first game is played on Dec. 17^th. Any mailed entries must be postmarked on or before Dec. 17^th. You can enter as often as you wish, as long as each entry into the pool includes its own $5 fee.
4. If the team you pick is the winner of the game, you get the number of points you assigned the game. In ties, both teams count as "winners".
5. After all 35 bowl games have been played, points will be totalled and players ranked in decreasing point order. The player with the greatest number of points is the winner. The tiebreaker in all cases will be the player who comes closest to guessing the total number of points scored in the BCS National Championship. Any further ties will then just split the winnings (ie., a 2 way tie for first will split 75% of the pool).
6. Pool will be split as follow:
• 1^st place: 50%
• 2^nd place: 25%
• 3^rd place: 15%
• 4^th place: 10%
• The 2011 Boston Red Sox Memorial award goes to the player with the fewest points. This player will get their $5 back. (Only if there are enough players in the pool.)
