It’s a baseball pool, obviously.
We are still patiently waiting for a winner to emerge from the National League side. The Los Angeles Dodgers and Washington Nationals each need a 13-run game, while eight other teams need some combination of two different scores. So close!
A 13-run baseball pool works like this… each person in the pool picks a Major League Baseball team. Then from the start date we mark when your team scores no runs in a game, 1 run in a game, 2 runs in a game, 3 runs, 4 runs, etc., etc. all the way up to 13 runs in a game. The first person whose team scores each of those 14 possible run totals, wins.
Yep, pretty sure no skill involved. Think of it as baseball bingo, and a fun way to track a team you normally wouldn’t follow.
Rules, Prizes
For this 13-run baseball pool, everyone can pick one American League team and one National League team. We will have separate groups for each of the AL and NL. To select your teams, make sure you are a registered Draft Buddy member, and post your choices in the comments below. Limit 1 entry (two teams) per member.
We start July 1. However, the deadline to enter is July 15. To keep things fair given the potential late entries, anyone can change their team all the way up to July 15 (sorry wallyworld), even though stats accumulate starting July 1. A team cannot be picked more than once, so members can only throw back their team if there is another team still available.
The winner of each of the American and National League groups receives a Draft Buddy t-shirt.
Contest Standings
And away we go! Here are the pool standings starting July 1. I will update the member names as they are posted below in the comments.
