2011 American Idol Pool

Deadline to enter is Wed. March 30, 2011

I believe if you find ways to make yourself happy at work, you will love your job!

So, as we begin this fun 9 week journey, let us remember that this is just another way to build bonds with your coworkers and to have a little fun! Keep in mind that we are at work to work and let’s not let this interfere with our daily duties at the Med. or any other work facility.

Rules: If you watch American Idol and think you would be a good judge, join the American Idol Pool. The entry fee is $5. After each results show starting with starting Thursday March 24, I will email you the list of remaining contestants (10 left after March 24th) and you must email me back after each of the next Top 10,9,8 etc show with your choice of who you think will be VOTED OFF. You must email me your pick by the beginning of the next nights results show.

If your guess is correct you will be awarded the corresponding points. The overall winner is the person who has accumulated the MOST POINTS after the Results Finale Show. This person wins all the pool money. In the event of a tie, money will be split evenly among the winners. Anyone (friends, family and co-workers) is aloud to play. You may enter as many times as you want but you must pay each time.
