9^th Annual NFL Death Pool

 

So you are sick of losing to the line in football and you think that you pick the winner without the spread.  Well, here is your chance.  In this pool, all you need to do is pick one winner each week for the entire season.  We will have a champions pool with entries with 0 losses and a consolation pool with entries with 1 loss.  Once you pick a team that loses a game, you are eliminated from the champions pool and sent down to the consolation pool. 

 

Rules

 

• Pick the winner of one NFL game each week (no point spreads) without selecting the same team more than once during the season.  (You may select the Colts or any other team only one time)

 

• If your team wins, you advance.  If your team loses or ties, you drop to the Consolation pool.  Once you have not won twice, you are eliminated from the pool.

 

• The last person left in the Champions pool wins 70% of the pot.  The last person left in the Consolation pool wins 30% of the pot.

 

• If the pool ends with multiple of entries eligible for the pot, the pot will be split evenly.

 

• Entries must be email into deathpool@sportgeekpools.com  Saturday before noon.  If you want to select a Thursday game, your selection must be turned in before kickoff.

 

• A list of all selections will be posted on www.sportgeekpools.com/deathpoolhome.htm  before kickoff on Sunday.

 

• A list of all games for the upcoming week with the betting line will be posted on the website on Tuesday.  The betting line will only be included for a reference tool.

 

• If you fail to make your selection by the Saturday at noon deadline, your default selection will be highest favorite that does not play on Thursday that you have not chosen.  In case of having 2 teams with the same odds, the team’s city name that comes first in alphabetical order will be your default selection.  The odds to determine the default will be the odds that are posted on the website with the list of games on Tuesday.  If a game has no line on Tuesday, those teams will not be considered for the default.

 

• If more than 5% is left in a pool after week 17, picks will continue into the playoffs until lower than 5% of the pool is remaining.  2 picks will be required each week.
