I never know where you want posts here. Forgive me for this tiny little bit of spam, but I am offering beer:
I'm holding a survivor pool on the 24th Minute. To get the numbers up, I'm crss posting here and at U-Sec. Here is the original post:

Many will be familiar with survivor type sports pools. If not, they work like this:
Each week participants select a team from whatever league they are playing that they believe will not lose. If you successfully pick a team doesn't lose then you get to play the next week. If not, you are done. The competition continues until there is only one participant still remaining.
An example, using MLS.
Week 1 -
Toronto v Kansas
Chicago v L.A.
Chivas v Montreal (it's in the future)
If I'm playing and select Toronto I'm betting that Toronto will not lose against Kansas. If the Reds win, I get to play the next week. If they draw, I'm still good. If the Wiz win, it's all over for me.
Simple, right?
Good. Because I'm holding a 24th Minute Survivor pool. Using the comments section or my e-mail dgrollins @ gmail. com, I'm asking readers to send in their picks starting now. You can join anytime up until the last game of the week starts, but you may only select games that have not yet started (so if you want to pick Seattle or Philly, get on it). These things usually last about half a year, so if you miss this time there will likely be a second go at it later this season.
THERE WILL BE A PRIZE! I will buy the winner a large beer at BMO Field during a game this year. It will be up to the winner to find his or her way to BMO Field, but I'm more than willing to spend the $13. If you don't drink, I'll get you a food or non-alcoholic drink of your choice of equivalent value.
You have to pick a nickname and stick with it if you are entering by the comments.
I am also posting this on the Red Patch and U-Sector boards.
This week's schedule:
Seattle Sounders FC at Philadelphia Union
Chivas USA at Colorado Rapids
FC Dallas at Houston Dynamo
Columbus Crew at Toronto FC
New York Red Bulls at Chicago Fire
Kansas City Wizards at D.C. United
San Jose Earthquakes at Real Salt Lake
Los Angeles Galaxy at New England Revolution
