Hi Everyone,
This is the
invite and welcome back (if returning) to the 2015 NFL football picks pool!!!
Please let me
know if you are interested and want to participate or anyone else that wants to
participate.
Confirmation
for participation is needed before the first game day on Thursday, September
10th (at 12:00pm)
The rules are the same:
Pick the winner of each game
for the week. Also pick the score of the Monday Night game. This is not total
points, but the score for both teams, for example 21 - 17. The person with the
most correct picks of ALL games will be that week's winner and win the weekly
pot (that includes the Monday Night Game - if you're one game back on Sunday,
you could catch up if you picked the opposite team of the leader on Monday
Night). In case of a tie, we will go to the score of the Monday Night Game as
the tie breaker, which is lowest points different combined on both team's score.
If you picked Green Bay 21 - NYG 17 and the final was NYG 20 - Green Bay 14,
you are off by 3 on NYG and 7 on Green Bay for a total of 10. If you are in a
tie for the best weekly record, and that's lowest point difference, you win. In
case of a tie, the pot will be split evenly.
The cost is
$34 for the season which equates to $2 a week. Payment has to be in by
the end of the third NFL week, or
your picks will not count and no prize money awarded until entry fee is paid.
The weekly pot
will be $34, and depending on how many are in will designate prize money for
the top records for the entire season.
Totals will be
kept for the whole year. The best record prizes will be for first place - $XX,
second place - $XX, and third place - $XX. (determined based on number of
entries).
Picks –
All picks must
be in by midnight on Saturday for all regular weeks. NO
EXCEPTIONS!!
This will give
me time to generate the lists of everyone's picks, send them back, and send
them via email/post them on the web site.
If you do not
turn in picks, I treat that as you not picking anyone to win, which means a
Tie, so any games that aren’t picked are entered as Ties. Not picking a score
on Monday Night gives you a score of 0 – 0.
NOTE: Picks
are expected to be in ON TIME. Consider that your warning.
Picks for
Thursday and Saturday games must be in by a designated time for that week.
.
You can email your picks to
me at:
Or call me @ 610-360-6459
There are
Thursday games every week except the last week and Thanksgiving, you only
need to give me your Thursday pick(s) by the time I specify, usually by 4:00pm
Thursday.
I will send an
email with everyone's Thursday picks before the game starts, then the rest are
due normal time.
Week 15 and 16
has additional Saturday games, I will send out notice for when those are due
for those weeks.
Week 1 has two
Monday night games. In that case, the late game will be the tie-breaker
(Minnesota at San Francisco)
Also, the last
game of Week 17 will be the last SUNDAY AFTERNOON game (St. Louis at San
Francisco) for the tie breaker, there is no Monday Night game that week.
If you do not turn in picks,
I treat that as you not picking anyone to win, which means a Tie, so any games
that aren’t picked are entered as Ties. Not picking a score on Monday Night
gives you a score of 0 – 0.
If any issues (problems/errors) arise, I will do my best
to work around them. Requiring the picks early gives me time to do this. Please
double check me, I could make a mistake. Just let me know if I've gotten
something wrong, I will verify it with your initial email and fix it.
I will send an email out each
week with the announcement of the previous week’s winner, yearly standings, Pick
of the Week and the dreaded SEED of the Week.
Good Luck to everyone and
have fun.
Let me know of any questions.
Thanks,
