2013 Season - Week 21

And so we are five days away from Superbowl XLVIII. If you cannot make it to HQ on Sunday for the big game but still want to have a wager or two, we will be playing the usual games at the traditional price of £1 per game. Remember all money is split equally between the games winners as the BUMS is a non-profit making organisation and gambling is the work of the devil. Attached is the price of the Superbowl players so you can enter your team (usual play-off rules 1 x QB, 1 x K, 4 x Outfield Players for a maximum of $7.5m). The other games are First Player to Score (QB only if he runs it in), Half-time score, Full-time score and team leading by Quarter eg Tie,Tie,Seahawks,Broncos. (TTSB). All-BUMS Voting Thanks to those who have already voted for their favourite players of 2013. If you have not voted yet remember I need (in order) your top 3 Running Backs and top 3 Receivers plus your number 1 & 2 Quarterbacks, Kickers and Coaches. Vote for your players based on BUMS points, how much you enjoy them, what they meant to their BUMS roster/NFL team or just the fact they were on your roster. The deadline is this Friday January 31st, just three days time so please vote now if you haven’t done so already. (See POSscoring 2013 attached).
