2024 Pool Rules

  1. Pre Season, Regular Season, and Post Season will be played as three separate pool competitions.
  2. Money to participate in each competition is due to the Pool winner at the end of the last game of each season.
    • Regular Season participation is $20.
  3. Players are to use their best judgement when making their game picks. Research into team/player performance is allowed, but players are not to look up and copy NFL specialist’s picks. Honesty and integrity are key.
  4. Each week’s picks are due before kickoff of the first game of the week.
    1. Players with late or absent pick submissions will receive the equivalent score of the lowest player for the week.
    2. Picks can be resubmitted to the pool up until kickoff of the first game of the week.
  5. In the event of a tie, the tie will be broken via rock, paper, scissors competition (best 2/3, of course).
  6. At the end of the regular season, awards will be disbursed as follows:
    • 3rd Place: $20
    • 2nd Place: $40
    • 1st Place: $120

Margin Pool:

Each player’s score in the margin pool shall be calculated as follows:

  1. Each game’s margin is calculated as the winning team’s score minus the losing team’s score.
  2. Each player’s margin score is calculated to be their overall gain/deficit of their game picks.
    1. For every game picked correctly, the player receives + the game margin.
    2. For every game picked incorrectly, the player receives – the game margin.

Example:

The Indianapolis Colts play the New York Giants and win 49 – 7. The game margin would be 42. Emilie picked the Colts to win and would receive +42 points. Katelyn picked the Giants to win and would receive -42 points. Katelyn is sad.
