I want to do one, but [Oscar.com](http://Oscar.com) got crazy complicated this year. I usually set one up and am willing to try to find another site(or figure out their site if necessary).

Any interest? Any suggestions for a site to run the pool?

I’d do it again. No suggestions as to where.

I’d be up for it, if you found a site. I’m too much of a luddite to know how to find a site though.

I’ve never done it before so I don’t know if this one is cool with you guys.

Just a suggestion.
