One quick question: Are we picking games straight up, or are we picking games versus the point spread?

POOL FORMAT
This is a Standard Pickem pool where you pick all the games on the picksheet, straight up and where the standings are based on your win-loss record.

POOL SCHEDULE
This pool ends with the regular NFL football season and does not include playoffs.

POINTSPREADS
This pool does not use point spreads. Your win-loss record is based on the 'straight-up' outcome of the games.

WEEKLY STANDINGS
The person with the most wins for the week is ranked first in the weekly standings.If player A is 10-5-1 and B is 10-6 then it would go to the MNF tie breaker. The pool is for most wins not best percentage.Ties are rare in the NFL but you never know.


AUTOPICKS
If you fail to enter your own picks, picks will be assigned to you by the website. You have the option of selecting All Home Teams, All Road Teams, All Favorites, All Dogs or All Random autopicks. You need to set your autopick option under PICKS: Auto Picks. The autopicker will not over-write your own picks. Once you have entered your own picks the autopicker will not pick for you. POOL MANAGER NOTE: If you forget to pick or are out of town and have not chosen auto picks, I have set the default to FAVORITES. That way you have picks for the week. I WILL NOT CHANGE ANYONE'S PICKS once the autopicks goes into effect after the 1st kickoff. I will not be home for most weekends so it is in your best interest to get your picks in early.

CONFIRMING PICKS
It is your responsibility to confirm that your own picks are accepted by the website. You can do this in a number of ways including the pick confirmation email and by returning to the pick sheet to see that your selections are bolded. The picks shown on the website after our deadline has passed are your FINAL picks.

TIEBREAKERS
Your tiebreakers are defined on the Tiebreaker Admin Page: POOL ADMIN-Tiebreakers .Closest to the total for MNF. Above or below the total.

ENTRY FEE
85.00 for 17 weeks. We are only accepting payments in full before the season starts. Its really too much work to collect 5.00 per week.

If your 85.00 is not paid by Tue 9/8 2 days before the season opens on Thu 9/10. You will not eligible for week 1. You can join the pool anytime during the season if you pay for the remaining weeks. It is to your advantage to be eligible for week 1, since there will be a cash prize for overall wins.

PRIZES
Each week will be winner take all.If we have 20 players we will go to a 1st and 2nd place each week. The pool website charges 3.00 per person for the season.So if we have 20 players the pool website will charge us 60.00 for the year. We will deduct 4.00 from the total pool money per week to pay for the pool.And also 6.00 per week for Season overall wins.."champ" Example: 1st week 20 players ..1st place 70.00 2nd 20.00.
