The Rules for the Strikeout Pool :

**Please read the whole page!**

Pick 1 team to win each week from the slate of NFL Games. If your team loses you get a strike for that week. Three strikes and you're out.

The winner will be the last person left in the pool or the person with the fewest amount of strikes at the end of the season.

If you make it through the entire season without striking out and you are not the overall winner, your entry fee will be refunded as follows: People with 2 strikes receive $50 back and $50 goes in to the pot. People with 1 strike receive $75 dollars back and $25 goes in to the pot. People with 0 strikes receive $100 back and split the pot amongst themselves evenly.

You can only use a team once during the life of the pool (example: If you choose the Eagles in Week 1 you cannot use them again for the rest of the season).

Entrance fee: $100 may be paid via Paypal or Venmo

The winner takes the pot. The pot total is determined by the number of entries.

If the game you picked should end in a tie that counts as a strike.

Your picks must be in before kickoff of the first Sunday game.

If there is a Wednesday/Thursday game and you want to use a team playing in that game your pick must be submitted before kickoff of the first midweek game.

If there is a Saturday game and you want to use a team playing in that game your pick must be submitted before kickoff of the first Saturday game.

You may still pick Sunday's games until Sunday's first kickoff.

All picks must be in before the first kickoff on Sunday ( even the Monday night game) or you will recieve a strike for that week.

If you forget to submit a team or miss the deadline you will recieve a strike for that week

The system is designed to not allow you to pick the same team 2 times over the course of a season. However, it is ultimately your responsibilty to track this and if the same team is picked 2 times, it will count as a strike.

You must submit picks through the web interface, if you are experiencing technical difficulties or any other emergencies that prevent you from submitting picks, contact me with your pick and reason for not being able to submit (pigskinstrikeout@gmail.com) I reserve the right to make a final decision on whether to allow email picks or not.

I will be keeping track of who each person picks each week, but I will not be responsible for notifying you if your pick is a duplicate pick. This is your responsibility.

If there is a tie at the end of the season or the last remaining players lose on the same week the tiebraker will be the player with the most consecutive wins in the season. If a tie still exists the pot will be split equally to all tied players (with the longest winning streak during the season)

Players left alive may come to an agreement to split the pot at anytime as long as it is unanimous, and I get verbal confirmation from all players left alive before any game times. (Ex. Three players are left alive, if each player tells me they want to cash in, the pot gets split among all three).

Payouts will be made when there is one remaining person, or remaining persons agree to cash out, season ends, or all remaining players get knocked out.. Which ever comes first.

Good Luck
