| Rules |
|---|
| Simple! Submit a winner each NFL week, no spreads involved. Your team wins, you keep moving. Your team loses, you are out of the pool. A tie game is a loss. Last one standing takes the pot! |
| |
| Selection of Teams You can only select an NFL team once for the season. So, select TB in week 1, and you will not be able to use again. Exception is if the pool is still running into the playoffs, which is highly, highly unlikely |
| |
| Submitting/Updating Picks: Use the Update Picks page at this site to enter your pick from week to week. Picking an early deadline game (e.g. Thursday night) will lock the pick for the week. |
| |
| Splitting of Pot: When there are just a few left in the pool, they may decide to construct splits / payout structures as they see fit. For example, if 4 are left, they might decide that $100 to each of the three losers, with the rest to the actual winner. |
| |
| COVID Rules - Forfeit: Should a game be forfeited due to covid, one team declared a winner by NFL, you will move on if you had selected the winning team involved. If you picked the losing team, you have until the kickoff of games later in the week (Sunday afternoon, Sunday night, Monday night) to EMAIL a new pick to the site admin - eric.k.emerton@gmail.com. If you do not have teams available to select in the remaining games of the week, you are OUT. |
| |
| COVID Rules - Postponement: A postponed game will only be considered part of the same week if it is played on/before the WEDNESDAY after that week (e.g. 2 days after the Monday night game that same week). All other postponed games are considered a LOSS relative to the knockout pool Should a game be postponed due to covid, and your pick is NOT locked for the week, I suggest getting a new pick in before the main deadline. Should the game be postponeed and your pick IS locked, you have until the kickoff of games later in the week (Sunday afternoon, Sunday night, Monday night) to EMAIL a new pick to the site admin - eric.k.emerton@gmail.com. If you do not have teams available to select in the remaining games of the week, you are OUT. |
| |
| More then 8 rule: Suppose 9 or more people are left in a given week, and ALL pick a losing team. ALL will advance on to the next week, as though their picks were correct. With 8 or less left, and ALL losing, it is considered an even split to those remaining. |
| |
| Playoffs: Should the pool be ongoing at the end of the regular season, those remaining will continue to make picks in the playoffs, one team per week, duplicates allowed. |
