Not much new to see here, but just in case you need a refresher.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
THE SCORING
It works like this: you pick three (3) position players; points come from total bases.
single, e.g. = 1 pt.
double = 2 pts.
triple = 3 pts., etc.
For example, in the game linked below, Vlad Guerrero Jr. notches 4 points:

THE MONEY
Entry is $10 a pop. PayPal it to bunting at tomatonation dot com (Venmo also fine; sarahdbunting is the account).
Winner takes 70 percent of the pot; second place takes 20 percent; third place takes 10 percent. In the event of a tie, the money will be divided evenly between/among players with the same point totals.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
"Do my players have to be on the same team as each other?" No.
"CAN all my players be on the same team as each other?" Yes.
"Can I duplicate other people's picks?" Yes. (You won't see everyone else's picks until all the picks are in anyway.)
"Can I play a half slate for half the money?" No. Too complicated.
"Can I play more than one slate?" You can play two slates max. Your slates must be different from each other. Each slate is $10.
"Can I pick my slate early and just risk it re: the wild-cards?" Yes, you can; you can also pick your slate early and choose only from the known participants. I'll remind you that, my deadline aside, once any of your chosen picks is "live," that's it -- no backsies.
"Soooo I should wait until we know who's in the LDSes." Not to influence you unduly, but: probably. We've had I think one wild-card-team bet in the life of this thing. The deadline is when it is for a reason.

"What if everybody's out by the World Series?" This is, historically, unlikely, but should it occur, everyone will receive one (1) amnesty pick, with previous points carrying. ...Let's jump off that bridge if we get to it.
"How am I supposed to keep track of all these stats?" You aren't; I do that. Do feel free to check my work, though.
"Can I forward this to my friend/loved one/co-worker?" Sure! If they've got the ten bucks, they're welcome to play.
"Who won last year?" Michael Arbour is your defending champ.
HOW TO ENTER
Give me $10 and your picks by THURSDAY, OCTOBER 7 AT NOON (12 PM) ET. bunting@tomatonation.com is my PayPal; sarahdbunting is my Venmo. 10/7 at noon is the deadline and is not negotiable. If we are related by blood or marriage, you may hand me a sawbuck and an alcohol wipe. Everyone else needs to use PayPal or some other electronic means.
When you send your pool money, I will send you an email confirming your picks and receipt of the money. I'll also post the points breakdown on the blog on a daily basis (or as close as possible to that); once again, that's here: http://buntingspostseasonpool.blogspot.com/.
