The deadline is usually 1 hour before kickoff unless posted otherwise. E-mail reminders will go out the night before the first deadline for each week. You will only receive a reminder for the first deadline. We will be using all games played in the NFL in these pools. That includes all the Thursday night games. There will be two deadlines for submitting your picks. The first deadline will be for the Thursday game(s), the second deadline for all remaining games. You will have the option of submitting all your picks for the week by the first deadline. Or you can submit just your pick for the Thursday game(s) being played that week. Then the remainder of your picks will be due on Sundays by 11:00am (unless otherwise posted). If you choose to just submit a pick for the Thursday game(s) played that week, (THIS IS IMPORTANT!!!) When you go to submit the remainder of your picks for the second Deadline YOU MUST re-enter your pick(s) for the Thursday game(s) exactly as you entered it for the first deadline. If it does not match, the computer will not accept your picks and you will receive random picks. If you fail to submit a pick for the Thursday game(s) you will automaticly receive the away team(s) with the lowest point value(s) available. You will have until the second deadline to submit your remaining picks. If you miss the second deadline you will receive random picks for the remaining games. With a Monday Night Tiebreaker of "0" points. "Submit Partial Picksheet" box. This box is at the bottom of the picksheet page. It is there for players who are only playing in the survivor pool and for players who are only submitting a pick for the Thursday game(s). Clicking this box tells the computer not to check for games or points you may have forgotton to submit on your picksheet. You only need to check this box if you are not filling out the complete picksheet. Pool members must pick a team and assign a number to each game based on "how sure" you are that your team will win. If you feel very confident about a team, assign the game a higher number. If you are unsure, give the game a lower number. Rank each game with a point total ranging from 16-1 or 16-X if there are less than 16 games that week. You can submit your picks as many times as you like before the deadline(s). Or if you want to change a pick you made earlier, you can resubmit your picks with the change before the deadline(s). The computer always uses the last set of picks that are submitted. I am not responsible for lost or misdirected picks. It is your responsibility to check to make sure your picks have been received. After you submit your picks you can check to make sure they have been received by clicking on "our pool pages" on the top menu and then "picks received". This will show date and time your picks posted. If your team wins, (Your team must win! This year ties count as a loss) you win the amount of points assigned to the game. If you lose, obviously you do not collect any points. The person who receives the highest point total for a given week wins, and will be awarded $4.25 per person who played that week: Second place will be awarded $2.00 per person who played. Third place will be awarded $1.00 per person who played. Forth place will be awarded .75 per person who played. Fifth place will be awarded .50 per person who played. $1.00 from each person will go into the "POT" that will be distributed among the Top 3 people who receive the highest cumulative score for the year. The year end distribution will be as follows: 1st place 60% of the pot 2nd place 30% of the pot 3rd place 10% of the pot In the event of a weekly tie, the tiebreaker will be awarded to the player who comes closest to the total number of points scored in the Monday night game. It does not matter if you go over the total points. In the event of a tie in the season pool, it will be awarded to the player with the highest number of total wins. If a tie still exists, the decision goes to the player with the lowest average differential of all the Monday night tie-breaker points. If two or more people are still tied in either the weekly or season pool after the tie-breaker(s), those players will split the prize money evenly. All winnings will be rounded down to the nearest dollar. The change left over will go toward postage for players who would like there winning sent to them. Your winnings will be automaticly paid to you the exact same way you paid me for the pool. No need to contact me. If you paid by check, you will be mailed a check. If you paid by paypal or chase that is how I will send your winnings. please allow 7 days if you paid by check.

SURVIVOR POOL: $50.00 ONLY 1 ENTRY PER PERSON Survivor Pool: Also know as the King of the hill, Last man standing and the Suicide Pool. The Survivor Pool is a separate fun and easy pool. The premise of the pool is simple: A pool member picks only one team each week. If the team you picked wins,(Ties in the NFL will count as a loss this year), you move on to the next week, 2 losses and you're out of the pool. Sounds easy right. Once you pick a team, you cannot pick that team again.(Picking the same team twice will result in a loss for that week) The pool continues until only one player is left. If the regular season ends and there is no winner, the remaining survivors will continue through the playoffs with a fresh list of teams to pick from. You will not be able to use the same team twice in the playoffs. If the playoffs end and there still is no winner it will continue for the Super Bowl. For the Super Bowl You will pick either the AFC or NFC team. If there is still no winner after the Super Bowl the pot will be divided evenly among the players still alive (It does not matter if you have 1 loss or none, if you are alive you are splitting the pot). If the Survivor Pool ends on a week when all remaining players are knocked out, those still alive going that final week will split the pot equally. YOUR SURVIVOR POOL PICK IS DUE BY THE FIRST DEADLINE IF YOU ARE PLAYING A TEAM ON A THURSDAY, or SATURDAY. ALL OTHER SURVIVOR PICKS ARE DUE BY THE SECOND DEADLINE WHICH IS SUNDAYS BY 11:00am. NO PICKS WILL BE ACCEPTED AFTER THAT TIME HAS PASSED. Failure to submit a Survivor Pick for a given week will result in the Monday Night Home Team default pick. If you have already used the home team you will get the away team. If you have already used the home team and the away team, you will receive a loss for the week.
