Kris - dug out ponds are difficult to spill via a pipe as you have stated. A siphon would likely never go into full siphon (vacuum) due to the lack of elevation change. Now, if it is the type of dug out that has a bit of water backed up against the spoil pile, then it may work in that situation. For your case, I may just install a straight pipe, give it some fall from inlet to outlet (as much as you can) and let her rip. It probably won�t do much except slowly return the water back to normal pool elevations after the rain...but that would get you ready for the next rain...so that may work. You�d have to stay on top of the maintenance and keep the pipe trash free, but that goes for all pipes.
Just some thoughts...
