2011 Tour de France Contest Details

This contest used to be run to raise money for the endowment fund for the Jason Lapierre Scholarship. Since we have reached our endowment fund goal we are looking for a new organization to raise funds for. 100% of the entry fees will still be going towards a worthy cause, the choice of the pool winner. In the past, we have been able to raise approximately $800 per year from this pool (hopefully more this year!).


Rules:
Simple rules (from the spreadsheet entry form)...
-Submit your excel spreadsheet with picks to Kyle Marcotte (dukyle at yahoo dot ca) before 11:59pm Friday July 1st.
-You can enter multiple teams (Cost is $20 for your first team, $15 for your second, $10 for your third… per household)
-Results are final after each stage (so no drug overturn of results). Points schedule is listed below. Ties are divided by the number of stage wins, then stage points, then a coin toss.
-Trash talking is encouraged.

The spreadsheet/entry form is available now. Use this entry form, it makes the data entry so much easier on my part.
