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.
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 most correct
picks. 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.
In the event a game ends in a tie, you will receive
half a point
for that game, provided you made a pick for it.
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 Sunday 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 Sunday.
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.
