NFL Pick'Em Pool
Our site is designed for you to host your own NFL Pick Em Pool website for
free or join a pool with your friends, family or office. You can become a pool
administrator, send invitations to friends and have all the admin rights you
need to run your own pick'em pool website. The pool administrator decides
whether to play the weekly pool, survivor pool, playoff pool or all three.
There are three types of pools. There are Weekly Pools, Survivor Pool and a
Playoff Pool
Weekly Pool
Each week constitutes a new pool. You may play as many or as few weeks as you
like but you are allowed only one entry per week. Your pool administrator is
responsible for determining what you are playing for each week. When making an
entry, you must assign confidence points to each game. The point values range
from one to however many games there are that week and you may use each number
only once. You should assign the highest point values to the picks you are most
confident about. Your score will be the total confidence points of the games you picked to win.
The winner for each week will be the player with the highest score. In the event of a tie, the amount will be split between the
users with the highest score.
Survivor Pool
This pool is separate from the weekly picks pool. If you choose to participate,
you must enter during the first week (or whichever week your Pool Administrator
has chosen to start the pool). What you play for is determined by your
Pool Administrator. The pool runs over the entire regular season, but the pool admin determines the start week for this pool. So you can start this pool at anytime in the season. Each week, you
must pick one team among those playing that you think will win its game. You can
use each team only once. The goal of the survivor pool is to outlast your fellow
players. If your team wins, you survive and continue on to the next week. If
your team loses, it counts as a miss. Your Pool Administrator determines how
many misses you have before you are out of the pool. When only one player
remains, he or she wins the pot. If more than one player survives to the end of
the regular season, they will split the pot equally.
Playoffs Pool
This pool works similar to a weekly pool (including the use of confidence
points) with some minor differences. All the postseason games are included.
Scoring is the same as in a weekly pool.
Players who tie for the winning score will split the pot equally. The entry fee
is determined by your Pool Administrator. Entries are broken up into individual
playoff rounds: Wild Card Games (four games) Divisional Playoffs (four games)
Conference Championships (two games) Super Bowl. Once the website has set the
opposing teams for each game in a round, you can make your picks for those
games. All games for a given round are locked at the start time of the first
game for that day. After all games in the current round have been decided, the
website will set the games for the next round. You must then go back to the
entry form and make your picks for them.
