<div dir="ltr">
<div class="yiv2260821637MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 8pt;line-height:107%;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri, sans-serif;">The 24rd Annual College Bowl Pool </div>
<div class="yiv2260821637MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 8pt;line-height:107%;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri, sans-serif;">With apologies for a slow start, greetings and welcome to
the College Bowl Pool’s 24th Year! Due
to the Commissioner’s travels, we’ll start a bit later this year, beginning
with the Independence Bowl on December 27.
Once again, we will include the National Champion Game. That means entering one of four teams as a
title game winner (Alabama, Clemson, Oklahoma, or Notre Dame) and assigning
points according to your own tolerance for risk. <b><i>We have less than a week until the games
begin, so make your picks promptly!</i></b></div>
<div class="yiv2260821637MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 8pt;line-height:107%;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri, sans-serif;">Here’s a reminder on how things work …</div>
<div class="yiv2260821637MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 8pt;line-height:107%;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri, sans-serif;">THE RULES</div>
<div class="yiv2260821637MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 8pt;line-height:107%;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri, sans-serif;">This is a confidence pool.
Pick the winners of each bowl game and weight your confidence
accordingly (i.e., 23 on the game in which you have the most confidence down to
1 on the game in which you have the least confidence). All entries must be submitted to
<a rel="noopener noreferrer" shape="rect" ymailto="mailto:anrklein@gmail.com" target="_blank" href="mailto:anrklein@gmail.com">anrklein@gmail.com</a> BEFORE KICKOFF OF THE INDEPENDENCE BOWL ON DECEMBER 27. Please put the words “Bowl Pool” in the
subject line of your message. And, if
possible, submit picks in the order of the games, rather than re-arranging
the list in confidence order. This helps
me expedite entering selections into Brother Pete’s spreadsheet. <b><i>One other note: Don’t pick in order (e.g., chronologically
from 1-23 or 23-1.) That is not in the
spirit of the game! </i></b></div>
<div class="yiv2260821637MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 8pt;line-height:107%;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri, sans-serif;">THE PARTICIPANTS</div>
<div class="yiv2260821637MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 8pt;line-height:107%;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri, sans-serif;">I am sending this message to players from previous years and
other potentially interested people (or at least those for whom I have an
e-mail address). Please feel free to
forward the message to others who might want to play.</div>
<div class="yiv2260821637MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 8pt;line-height:107%;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri, sans-serif;">THE STAKES</div>
<div class="yiv2260821637MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 8pt;line-height:107%;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri, sans-serif;">The pool is for pride and charity. NFL Pool players already have “paid” through
a gift to the Devin Shafron Memorial Fund, which is now managed by the Chicago
Community Trust. (And if you haven’t
paid, this is an excellent time to send your check.) The Fund is a foundation established by
Phyllis Shafron in memory of her son, and our friend, Devin. Its historical purpose has been to provide
new books for Chicago public school libraries; more recently it has expanded to
support a variety of other youth-related causes in the Chicago area. The foundation has raised tens of thousands
of dollars and donated to dozens of organizations in Devin’s memory. There are several schools that have plaques
in honor of The Pool’s contribution. If
anyone would like more information about the foundation, or how to make a small
contribution as a “fee” for the pool, let me know.<span style="font-size:11pt;"> </span></div>
