We are seeking more participation for the gridiron challenge this year so we're launching a new format:

Rotary Men vs. Rotary Women

Here's the format:

• Each team will have a captain and team name.
• Nine college and 1 local high school game per week.
• As in the past, $25 billed one time to each Rotarian – unless you opt out via communication with the Rotary treasurer.
• Each correct pick is worth 1 point. A weekly game of the week (also the tie breaker game) will be worth 2 points.
• The team who has the most weekly participants gets an additional 5 points and the team that wins the week gets an additional 3 points.
• There will be a weekly leaderboard shown at the Thursday meetings – public commentary is encouraged! ?️ ?
• 1 male and 1 female winner per week will receive a $20 gift card from a locally owned restaurant.
• Team who has the most points at the end of the regular season gets an additional 5 points added to their total (at which time a regular season winner will be determined).
• Regular season male and female individual winners will receive a champions trophy.
• The top team in the regular season will have a $250 Rotary donation made to one of our club's community or youth services projects chosen by the team in their name.
• Picks sheets will be distributed via weekly Rotary email on Wednesdays and hard copies will be available at Thursday meetings, including Second Harvest Thursdays.
• Sheets must be turned into Lu Nunnally in person, by text (770-605-6336) or email: Lu10nunnally@gmail.com by 4 p.m. on Fridays. 

*COLLEGE FOOTBALL PLAYOFFS pool to be determined.*

To answer questions some of you may have:

Q. What if I don’t follow college football or know anything about it?
A: You are more than welcome to have a spouse, family member, friend, or even a fellow Rotarian to assist you with your picks. 

Q. What if my team or me, individually, gets way behind and know I/we don’t have a chance to win?
A. It’s a long season and in this new college football era, anything can happen on any given weekend. And with extra points available for team participation and team weekly winners – no one is gonna be out of it!

Play along and make it more fun for everyone!
