    Default The Official Dobber Forum MLB Wins Pool

    Hey gang,

    This fall I ran an NFL Wins Pool here in the forum with seven other members. Really simple setup. The eight of us drafted NFL teams snake style trying to grab the set of teams who would win the most games. You can check that out here: http://forums.dobbersports.com/showt...=nfl+wins+pool

    I'm looking to run the same here for baseball and with the season opening in a month the time to canvass for participants and get the draft going is now.

    First come, first served for spots. Ideally looking for somewhere between 4 and 10 participants. In the event we get massive interest I'd look to setup a tiered system where we could have multiple leagues but we'll cross that bridge if we get there. For now, I'm just looking for interested parties to get a feel for numbers.

    Again you can check that link above for an example of how the scoring works but it's essentially a points league where each win your team gets is worth one. Add up the total wins for all of your teams and that's your score. If we get six participants that means each will draft five teams and you can extrapolate from there.

    It's a pretty fun exercise. I update the standings weekly. It's something I do with my friends for both the NFL and NBA season. Very low investment but high enjoyment experience, I've found. Sign up below or PM me with your interest!

    You can select C "Shut up Bondon"

    Will that suffice?

    That appears to be the leading option.

    I doubt I could do any worse than I did in the NFL pool
