The 23rd Annual College Bowl Pool 
Greetings and welcome to the College BowlPool’s 23rd Year!  
Given the large number of games – and in orderto give everyone a chance to submit picks --, we’ll start a little later thisyear, beginning with the Independence Bowl on December 27.  Once again, we will include the NationalChampion Game.  That means entering oneof four teams as a title game winner (Alabama, Clemson, Oklahoma, or Georgia)and assigning points according to your own tolerance for risk.  Here’s a reminder on how things work … 
THE RULES 
This is a confidence pool.  Pick the winners of each bowl game and weightyour confidence accordingly (i.e., 23 on the game in which you have the mostconfidence down to 1 on the game in which you have the least confidence).  All entries must be submitted toanrklein at gmail.com BEFORE KICKOFF OF THE INDEPENDENCE BOWL ON DECEMBER 27.   Please put the words “Bowl Pool” in thesubject line of your message. 
One other note:  Don’tpick in order (e.g., chronologically from 1-23 or 23-1.)  That is not in the spirit of the game!  
THE PARTICIPANTS 
I am sending this message to players fromprevious years and other potentially interested people (or at least those forwhom I have an e-mail address).  Pleasefeel free to forward the message to others who might want to play. 
THE STAKES 
The pool is for pride and charity.  NFL Pool players already have “paid” througha gift to the Devin Shafron Memorial Fund, which is now managed by the ChicagoCommunity Trust.  (And if you haven’tpaid, this is an excellent time to send your check.)  The Fund is a foundation established byPhyllis Shafron in memory of her son, and our friend, Devin.  Its historical purpose has been to providenew 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 thousandsof dollars and donated to dozens of organizations in Devin’s memory.  There are several schools that have plaquesin honor of The Pool’s contribution.  Ifanyone would like more information about the foundation, or how to make a smallcontribution as a “fee” for the pool, let me know.
