Fatrunner Football Pool Rules and GuidelinesHowdy folks! A few small changes this year to try to make the pool work a little cleaner and easier. First, the entry fee has increased a touch to $140 ($125 goes into the pool, $15 covers the Commissioner’s fees on website maintenance, reporting results and standings back to you each week) which covers the entire 17 regular week season, bowl game contest and end of year cumulative categories. The slight increase in fees basically went toward the creation of the website to maintain our picks at http://football.fatrunner.com/. The only casualty of this new, automated system is the Monday Night contest. I could not find a way to regulate this, so I elected to drop it. Sorry Brent, I know this was your chief source of winnings. As usual, cumulative scores will include scores from the regular weeks, bowl games, pro playoffs and the super bowl. All monies are paid back over almost five months of a football pool that is designed for fun. Year 2003 will be adjusted to final number of players and the pay-outs will be approximately as follows:
These payouts are based on an estimated number of entrants and will be adjusted when the final registrations are complete. If we end up with extra participants, we will beef up the cumulative categories and possibly even make weekly picks richer toward the end of the season. It is my intention to make sure ALL the money in the pool is paid back out (with the exception of the commisioner’s fees which go toward website maintenance and results reporting). Category I - Detail Every week (beginning Sept 6-7 through Dec ) there are 10 college and 10 pro contests pre-selected by the governing board. Note: At the latter part of the season some weeks are pro only. The picks are made and the schedule is found at http://football.fatrunner.com. Every week, pick 15 winners out of the 20 contests pre-selected by the board. List and number your picks in descending order of confidence, starting with 15. You will probably eliminate the five games which you consider to be toss-ups. IMPORTANT! THE WEEKENDS THAT ARE PRO ONLY, PICK ALL CONTESTS IN DESCENDING ORDER OF CONFIDENCE. Send your picks via e-mail (to troy.holly@verizon.net) or snail mail to Troy Severson, 399 NE 15th CT, Hillsboro, OR 97124. Category II - Detail At the end of the full season, including play-offs and super bowl, the eight players with the lowest cumulative scores will divide $405. Category III - Detail The college bowl games will run similar to a standard week of play with the exception that payouts will extend through 10th place. The commission will do our best to ensure that every pool member has picks from the entire pool to track throughout the bowl season. Category IV - Detail The four players who pick the most games correctly in all categories will divide $250 at the end of the pool. Summary: Your weekly entry will contain: numbered list of picks, Monday night pick and Monday night combined score prediction. NOTE: COMMISSIONER’S RULINGS FROM PAST 10 YEARS
A. Football schedules are subject to change, especially around the holidays to accommodate TV. If a contest moves from the weekend on the attached master schedule, do not reschedule that contest. Make your picks from the remaining available games. If you pick a game that does not play on the weekend, you lose the corresponding points.
Interested? Then sign up now!
PAYOUTS: pay-outs will accumulate throughout the year and one massive check (depending on your picking prowess, some more massive than others) will be mailed at the end of the season.
