Fuzz, most of the time that I hear "pool" used in this fashion, there is some form of gambling involved (real or fake). Are you using it in that sense or more generally (meaning that it's a contest with a prize)?

I guess I never equated "pool" with gambling because I've seen it used in both scenarios. Sorry for the confusion. Rest assured this is just a contest similar to March Madness. Nothing required but your team if you wish to play along.  |

I'll go pick my team now.  |

Heh, I was trying to come up with a team that I would select if I was aiming for the worst possible score. It's pretty tough with the requirement to get the total between 32-36.
