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

When making an entry, you must assign confidence points to each game. The point values range from one to however many games there are that week and you may use each number only once. You should assign the highest point values to the picks you are most confident about.

Your score will be the total of the confidence points assigned to each correctly picked game.

In the event a game ends in a tie, you will receive half of your assigned confidence points 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.

Note that when you make a pick, you must also assign a confidence point value to it as well. Valid point values are 1, 2, 3 and so on, up to the number of games scheduled that week. Remember that each number can only be used once.

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. This includes changing your confidence points. 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.
