$25 for the Entire NFL week season
This is similar to the Survivor pool where you only pick one team each week. But unlike the survivor pool, you do not get eliminated if your team loses. If your team wins, you score the points they win by. i.e. the difference or margin between the points scored by each team. If your team loses, you score 0 points. At the end of the season, scores are added up and season prizes will be awarded for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd places. The season includes the playoffs and the Super Bowl.
Margin Pool Pick Sheet
Picks: Pick one team you think is going to win. This is a straight-up pick. Point spreads are not used. If the team you picked wins then you will score the difference in the final score of that game. For instance, if you pick the Giants to win over Dallas, and the Giants win 21-10, you score 11 points. If the team you picked loses you score zero for that week.
You may only pick a team once thru the regular season. Once you pick that team, that team is no longer available to pick for the rest of the regular season. Once the playoffs begin, the teams are reset and you may pick any team multiple times throughout the playoffs, including the Super Bowl.
Entry Fees and Payouts
Entry fees: $25 per person, payable up front. Money must be received no later than Thursday, September 5th. If your payment is not received, you will be dropped from the pool. What does my $25 pay for? The money will be dispersed as prizes during the course of the season.
Entry Fee Breakdown:
Approximately $2.00 per player to cover the cost of the Pool Hosting Company. Actual cost will depend on number of players (See Chart below). Once the cost is covered, the rest will be paid out to the season winners. For example, if we have 50 players and the cost is $50, only 1 dollar will be taken out for hosting.
