NFL POOL DESCRIPTIONS

NFL SEASON POOL (including Low Man Out Pool, Conference Pool, BlackJack Pool, and SuperBowl Square) - 50 entry fee


This pool is a Confidence Pool. Each week, you pick the outright winner of each game being played. For each game you select you assign a point value (between 1 - # of games) representing how confident you are in this selection. If you're correct, you get the number of assigned points credited to you. You can only use each point value once per week. This pool pays the weekly winner and last place. It generally pays 5 or 6 places, most wins, and last place for the season. We also give away a Turkey on Thanksgiving day. All payouts are made after the SuperBowl. 

Low Man Out Pool - Each week, from all submitted entries, the three people having the lowest number of confidence points are dropped from the pool. This continues from week to week until there is only one or two people left. The prize depends on the number of entries in the pool. 

BlackJack Pool - Each week the player who finishes in 21st place wins. In the event of ties, the prize is split. 

Conference Pool - Players are assigned to conferences based on past performance (players of similar performances will play against each other). This pool generally pays the top 3 in each conference and the prizes depend on the number of entries in the pool. 

SuperBowl Square - Each player in the pool is assigned a random square after all members are paid up. Anyone can purchase additional squares of their choice (if available), whether or not they are in the pool.
