Rules


How to play.

Main Pool

Each week you will need to fill out the Picksheet and submit your entry anytime, at least, two hours before the first game of the week. This is so if there is any irregularities, I'll have time to contact you to correct them.

This year we will not be doing Thursday games! All other games are to be picked for the whole season, including Friday, Saturday, and early Sunday!

Pick which teams you think will win. If there is 16 games that week, you then put 1-16 next to your winning teams. If there are 15 games you would use 2-16.

REMEMBER we'll always have a 16 point game. Byes and Thursday games determine the low number.


Picksheet


Be careful to use each number only once! If you are missing numbers or have double numbers those games don't count for your weekly total! The Picksheet is designed to help eliminate these types of errors but please double check anyways.

If your team wins the game you get the points you put on them. Lost points don't count against you.

Ties count as ties, You receive half the points wagered on the game. i.e. If you put 13 down and it results in a tie then you would receive 6.5 points for game.

The entry with the most points for the week wins. In the event of a tie the first tie breaker is the total points scored in the Monday night game. The second tie breaker goes by most wins for the week.

All the weeks are added together and the person with the most points at the end of the year wins the yearly prize. The first tie breaker is most wins for the year and the second tie breaker is Monday night points average.


Survivor Pool

The Survivor pool costs a one time fee of $5.

The rules are simple. Each week pick one team you feel will win the game outright. No point spreads will be used.

You will not be able to use teams that we don't use in the regular pool i.e. Thursday games. Think about this when planning for the year.


Survivor


Once you pick a team, you CANNOT pick that team again for the rest of the season!

This is a double elimination pool. Lose twice and your Survivor pool ends. Last person standing wins the whole pot. First tie breaker will be wins. The pot is split if there is tie in the standings at the end of the year.

If you forget to make a pick, it counts as a loss. Pick the same team twice, counts as a loss. Game ends with a tie, counts as a loss.

Margin Pool

The Margin pool costs a one time fee of $5.

The rules are simple. Each week pick one team you feel will win the game by a large margin of victory. No point spreads will be used.

You will not be able to use teams that we don't use in the regular pool i.e. Thursday games. Think about this when planning for the year.

Once you pick a team, you CANNOT pick that team again for the rest of the season!

The person with the most points at the end of the year wins the whole pot. First tie breaker will be wins. The pot is split if there is tie in the standings at the end of the year.

If you forget to make a pick or pick the same team twice you will get whatever is the largest margin lose of the week. This will count against you.

Playoff Rankem Pool

The Playoff Rankem pool costs a one time fee of $20.

The rules are similar to the Weekly Pool as you rank all the teams in the playoffs before the start of the first games using each number once. The highest numbers go on the teams you think will go far in the playoffs. No point spreads will be used. You will only pick once before the start of the playoffs.

As the playoffs advance, each round will have a multiplier - Round Mulipliers --- Wild Card = 1 Division = 3 Conference = 5 Super Bowl = 7

Highest total points after the Super Bowl wins the pot.

The tie breaker will be Super Bowl total points scored.

Paying and Prizes

Each entry cost $55.00 for the whole season. $85.00 for the whole season with a Playoff Rankem entry. 15% out of every entry goes toward the end of the year winner (Subtracting the Administrators entry). Below is a chart breaking down the payouts with this system.

The Pool Administrator gets one free entry for the year, which includes the Survivor Pool and Margin Pool, since I provide the web space, the software, and my time to run this pool.

Paying for entries can be done three ways. By sending a check by U.S. Mail, by PayPal, or by Google Pay (NEW Payment Options!). Please see the Payment page for more details.

Some form of payment must be received by the first week or you have arranged something with me to insure your picks are counted.
