World Cup Starts Friday! | June 8, 2010 |
Here is the email that went out today to everyone on the mailing list. Whether you are in or out of the pool currently, I’ve got some info for you.
The World Cup 2010 starts THIS FRIDAY! We have over 350 entries in our overall pool! If you’re not in yet, don’t miss out!
In the interest of streamlining and getting the proper message to everyone on our mailing list, I’ve divided this newsletter into the following sections:
- You’re Not In The Pool Yet. Help.
- You’re In The Pool. What Now?
- Soccer? No Thanks.
Please find the section that applies to you and read on.
You’re Not In The Pool Yet. Help.
The first thing you need to know is you are running out of time. Once again, the World Cup starts THIS FRIDAY!
Okay, this is pretty easy. All you need to do is login at the website and join the pool. This puts you in the overall pool. From there, you have TWO options:
A. Play for $20, joining the MOP $20 Poolies group Select this group on the picks form, and send your payment online prior to the start of the first game. Prizes for 1st, 2nd and 3rd.
B. Join another group (or create your own) If you were invited to another group, then select that group on the picks form and input the password if necessary.
Voila, you are all set. Check the detailed rules for more info.
You’re In The Pool. What Now?
You’re already in? Awesome. Thanks for registering at the website and contributing to the already great turnout in the overall pool.
If you are set in the pool group you are taking part in, then you are probably good and ready for the soccer action to begin. Keep in mind you can edit your picks anytime up to the start of the first game.
Once the Group Stage of the World Cup is over, then you will have to return to the website to submit your picks for the Round of 16, then the Quarter-Finals, and Semi-Finals and Final.
If you aren’t in a pool group, then you can join my group, MOP $20 Poolies if you like. Go back to your picks form, select this group, and send your payment online prior to the start of the first game. Prizes for 1st, 2nd and 3rd.
If you were invited to another group but are having trouble getting in – which is most often caused by registering with a different email address then the one that received the invite – then let me know and I’ll help you out.
Group Admins, if you are having any issues administering your group, then email me and we’ll get it figured out.
Thanks again, and enjoy the World Cup and the World Cup Pool!
Soccer? No thanks
Not a soccer fan? No problem, but understand you will be in the minority for the next month or so. If you can live with that, know that American Football pools are on the horizon and will be ready relatively soon. Also if you’re a fantasy football junkie, shoot me an email and I’ll direct you to the best draft prep and tracking tool around.
You received this email because you have “Sports Pools – Soccer” checked off as one of your mailing list preferences. To change that, login at the website, go to your MOP page, check only the items you want to receive emails about, and submit your changes. Hopefully we catch up with you in one of our future pools.
That is it. I might do a quick last call email later this week, but just to be sure you don’t miss out, get in the pool! See you there!
