Pool Rules
Each week constitutes a new pool.
You may play as many or as few weeks as you like but you are allowed only one entry per week.
Each entry costs $0.00 which goes into the pot paid to that week's winner(s).
To enter, fill in the entry form by making a pick for each game.
You will also be asked to guess the total points scored in the Monday Night Football game (or whatever the last scheduled game of the week is).
This is used as a tiebreaker.
The winner for each week will be the player with the highest score.
If two or more players tie for the highest score, the one who guessed closest to the actual point total of the tiebreaker game will win.
Should any players still be tied after applying the tiebreaker, the pot will be divided equally among those players.
For the tiebreaker, it does not matter if your point total is over or under the actual score total.
It is the difference between the two numbers that counts.
Scoring
Your score is simply the number of games you correctly pick.
Making and Changing Entries
When filling in an entry form, you do not have to make a pick for each game.
All that is required is that you enter a point total for the tiebreaker.
This is helpful if there are early games scheduled for a given week (games played on a Thursday).
You may make your picks for these games beforehand and complete the rest later.
Locked Games
Games are automatically locked out on the entry form according to their scheduled date and time.
Early games are locked at the start of the individual game.
All remaining games (including any Monday night games) are locked at the scheduled start time of the first Friday game.
Times displayed on the schedule are Eastern.
You may change your pick for any game up until the time that game is locked.
You may also change your tiebreaker point total up until the time that all entries are locked on Friday.
You can delete your entry, if desired, provided no games for that week have been locked.
Entries must be completed on time.
Once a game is locked, you may not change your pick for it.
If you did not make a pick for a particular game, it is counted as a loss.
If you submit a partial entry and either forget or are unable to complete it, you are still responsible for the entry fee.
The Administrator may make exceptions for extenuating circumstances on an individual basis.
By participating you agree to abide by the above rules and accept any decisions made by the Administrator.
If you have trouble accessing the site, logging in or otherwise completing your entry, please contact the Administrator for help.
Playoffs Pool
The playoffs pool works similar to a weekly pool with some minor differences.
It includes all the post season games in a single pool and the entry fee is $0.00.
Scoring is the same as in a weekly pool but there is tiebreaker.
Players who tie for the winning score will split the pot equally.
Entries are broken up into individual playoff rounds:
- Wildcard Games (four games)
- Divisional Playoffs (four games)
- Conference Championships (two games)
- Super Bowl
Once the Administrator has set the opposing teams for each game in a round, you can make your picks for those games.
As with the weekly pools, you can make or change your pick for any game up until that game is locked.
All games for a given round are locked at the start time of the first game in that round.
After all games in the current round have been decided, the Administrator will set the games for the next round.
You must then go back to the entry form and make your picks for those games.
