The Official Rules!

The pick sheet:

  • Each correct pick will be worth one point.
  • If you choose, you can make ONE and only one pick per week worth two points. This will be indicated by placing two X's for the pick on the pick sheet, or checking the 'Double-Up' box for the online submission. If you make that pick, you will get two points for the pick instead of the standard one point. However, if you miss that pick, you will have one point REMOVED from your total score. Pick wisely
  • Picks are straight up.
  • Games resulting in ties are removed from the pick sheet entirely.
  • Multiple pick sheets are allowed and encouraged!

Buy-ins and submissions:

  • Each submission must be submitted with a $5.00 buy-in.
  • Pick sheets are due by Friday at Noon PST. In the case of Thursday night games, the pick sheet is due by Noon Thursday.
  • Buy-ins are due by Thursday @ 4pm PST, unless there is a Thursday night game. In that case, buy-ins are due by Wednesday @ 4pm PST.
  • It is not the admin's responsibility to hunt down payments, and we may not send reminders to those who haven't paid. There are no exceptions to this!
  • Picks that do not have buy-ins will be removed. Those players removed for non-payment will not be notified.

Tie Breakers:

  • Tie Breaker #1 will be decided by the final score of the Monday night game. The winner of the Tie Breaker #1 will be the person that picks the total points scored without going over. For example: If the total points scored for the Monday night game is 23, and you picked 24, you lost the tiebreaker. If you picked 23, then you win, unless somebody else picked 23 as well. In that case, Tie Breaker #2 will be invoked.
  • Tie Breaker #2 will be invoked if the winner cannot be determined by Tie Breaker #1. In this case, ONLY the players that are tied with Tie Breaker #1 will be considered under Tie Breaker #2.
  • Tie Breaker #2 will be decided by the final score of the football game chosen by the Admins. The winner of the Tie Breaker #2 will be the person that picks the total points scored of that game without going over.
  • If there is still a Tie after both Tie Breakers, then the pot is split amongst the remaining winners.

General:

  • For the Tie Breakers, the total points scored will be in whole number increments only. No '23.5' or '24.75' submissions are allowed.
  • Pre- and Post-Season picks may have different rules and picking strategies. They will be included in that week's email and posted in the forums

Winners:

  • The Winner takes the entire pot. No admin fees are removed from the pot. You're welcome!
  • The Winner is decided by the person with the most points for the week, including Monday night's game.
