The deadline for your pick selections each week will depend on when the first game of the week is played.
If first game is on a Saturday or Sunday, Deadline is FRIDAY by 8pm! (ET)
If first game is on Thursday, Deadline is WEDNESDAY by 8pm! (ET)
There are 8 weeks in which a game starts on Thursday, Picks are due on Wednesday:
Week 1: September 3rd
Week 10: November 5th
Week 11: November 12th
Week 12: November 19th
Week 13: November 26th
Week 14: December 3rd
Week 15: December 10th
Week 16: December 17th
Rule 3:
There is only way to get your picks in each week.
Use the web site each week to fill out picks and it will email me (and you) your picks.
If you don't receive an email then neither did I, make sure you get an email.
You could also print the pick confirmation page in case there are any problems.
If your picks are not in by the deadline for that week.
You will receive one less point than the lowest player for that week.
NO EXCEPTIONS!!
This will be a Confidence Pool. Here is the Official Explanation:
Pool members must assign a number to each game based on “how sure”
they are that their team will win. If they feel very confident about a
team, they assign the game a higher number. If they are unsure, they
give the game a lower number. If their team wins, they win the amount of
points they assigned to the game. If they lose, they obviously do not
collect any points. Example: The 49ers are playing the Giants. You
are pretty Confident that the Giants will lose this game. You pick the
49ers to win, and on the Picksheet, place a high number (like 14, 15, or
16), on the 49ers. If you are NOT so Confident the 49ers will win, place
a lower number on them. If the team you picked to win DOES WIN, you get
the assigned Confidence Points for that game. If the team you picked
LOSES, you receive ZERO points for that game. The most Confidence Points
determine the weekly winner.
You can only use a number ONCE !
The object is to accumulate as many points as you can each week.
Rule 5:
If a game ends in a tie, it counts as a loss.
Rule 6:
There will be one weekly winner who will determined by total confidence points accumulated that week.
If there is a tie in total points accumulated in a week, then the tiebreaker will be used.
This tiebreaker is your guess on the total points scored by both teams in the Monday night game.
Rule 7:
There will be five season pool winners.
They will be determined by total points accumulated for the entire regular season.
Rule 8:
Tie breaker for the season pool is by number of total wins over the entire regular season.
Rule 10:
Everyone's picks for the current week will be posted on the This Weeks Player Selections page.
This page will post after the deadline for that week.
Once this page is posted the current weeks pick sheet will be removed.
Thus no more picks will be accepted for that week.
Rule 11:
I will post a blank pick sheet each week for you to print off.
I will have pick sheets available for the current and the next week selections.
You can submit either at any time.
Rule 13:
You can change your picks at any time before the deadline each week;
do this just by resubmitting your picks.
>
Each week pick 1 team that you think will win that week. You can only select a team once throughout the entire regular season (each week a different team).
If you select a team twice it will count as a loss for that week.
If you don't make a selection for the survivor pool it will count as a loss.
Once you lose 2 games you are out of the pool.
This pool continues until there is only one player left or the end of the regular season.
If at the end of the regular season there is more than one player left the tiebreaker will be the number of games lost within the survivor pool, (either 0 or 1).
If only one player has no losses then he/she would be the winner.
If there is still a tie or all remaining players are eliminated then the player with the most consecutive wins within the survivor pool will be the winner.
If a tie still exists the pot will be split equally to all tied players.
Back to Rule #0
If on or before week 6 a winner has been determined, I will start another Survivor pool.
All the rules will be the same; everyone that plays will be starting fresh with no losses and all teams to choose from.
