The Rules

Short and simple โ€” here's the whole thing.

๐Ÿˆ How to Play

  • โœ“Each week, pick the winner of every NFL game before it kicks off.
  • โœ“Picks lock at each game's kickoff and are final โ€” no changes after that.
  • โœ“Forget to pick? Unpicked games just count as misses โ€” no penalty beyond the lost points.

๐ŸŽฏ Scoring

  • โœ“1 point for every correct pick. Most points takes the week.
  • โœ“Tiebreaker: closest to the total combined score of the last game of the week (usually Monday night) wins the tie.
  • โœ“Season standings = total correct picks across Weeks 1โ€“18.

๐Ÿ’ธ Payouts

  • โœ“Every week โ€” top 4 paid: $42 ยท $31.50 ยท $21 ยท $10.50.
  • โœ“Regular-season final โ€” top 4 paid: $150 ยท $115 ยท $75 ยท $38.
  • โœ“Every dollar that comes in goes back out โ€” see the Payouts page.

๐Ÿ† Playoff Pool

  • โœ“A separate competition with its own buy-in and $200 pot.
  • โœ“Fresh slate when the playoffs start โ€” pick'em through the Super Bowl.
  • โœ“Your regular-season standing doesn't carry over โ€” anyone can win it.

๐Ÿค Housekeeping

  • โœ“Pay your buy-in before Week 1. Winnings go out via Venmo / PayPal / Zelle โ€” set yours on your Profile.
  • โœ“One entry per person. The commissioner's call settles anything weird.
  • โœ“Talk all the trash you want โ€” just don't be a sore loser. ๐Ÿˆ

That's it. Make your picks, win some cash, have fun. โ€” Tiny
