Is my survivor pool abnormally tough ?

Doug · Oct 22, 2005

It's a freebie for 5k, last man, no points,started week #2, sponsored by Sherwood.

86 at start, 52 left, so 52/86 have picked 5 ML winners... tough to shake these guys, probably 80% + of us will have Wash this week, as I do.

seems normal to me.....

In a normal Season 52 out of 86 at this point would seem kinda high, but this year most of the bigger favorites have won, so it makes sense.

In my survivor pool we started with about 1800 and down to about 450. and a friend of mines pool is down to about the same percentage. However, in those pools players can have multiple entries where players get cute and hedge their picks (taking the big fave in one and then a lesser favorite in another). Well the lesser favorites have been getting knocked out left and right.

your pool, i presume, only allows 1 entry per person so everyone is playing more conservative.

Colby - cool it.

mine started with 252 but got down to 114 after Week 1 then 73 after Week 2

currently at 45

we can only ake each team once - unlike some other pools

Not limited to one entry, 2 guys qualified for 2 entries ( 1 is out, forgot to pick one week !, other guy live), rest have 1 entry. If Washington loses I'm gone with probably 80%+ of the rest.

43 of 52 on Wash. Everybody (almost) survives or most gone.

Team cannot be re-used in this one.
