Playoff Pools

Have a look at the playoff pool options below and think about them. We’ll put a poll up to gauge interest shortly. The number of pools run will depend on interest and will be $10 each

Rankem Pool

• Prior to the first game of the post-season, you place a “weight” on each playoff team from 1 to 14.
• For every game a given team wins, the points you assigned to that team are added to your total score.
• The player with the most points after the Super Bowl wins!
• Your picks are locked once the first game begins.

Bracket

1. These are basically Pick’em style pools, where you pick the entire playoff results prior to the first game.
2. Entrants pick the winner of each game through the playoff bracket (remember the #1 seed plays the lowest remaining seed in the 2nd round).
3. If the team selected wins their game that round, they are awarded the point value for that round.
4. Points by round are as follows: 1 for Wild Card; 2 for Divisional; 3 for Conference; 5 for Championship.
5. The entry with the most points at the end of the playoff tournament is the winner.

Pick’em

1. Entrants pick the winners of every game each week of the NFL playoffs.
2. For each correct pick, the entry earns 1 point.
3. If the team selected ties or pushes (in spread pools), the entry gets a half point.
4. The entry with the most total points at the end of the playoffs is the winner.

Survivor Playoff Football Pool

1. Entrants pick one team each round of the NFL playoffs with the intention of the selection winning.
2. If the team selected wins or ties, the entry survives to the following round.
3. If the team selected loses, the entry is eliminated from the pool.
4. If all remaining teams lose during a week, they all move on to the next round.
5. The final surviving entry is the winner, unless there are multiple teams alive after the championship game.
6. Teams may only be selected one time for the duration of the pool – which complicates things with so few teams in the playoffs.
