Welcome to the Beta NFL On Line Pool 2003

It's that time of year again! - Football Season!!  Welcome back to all of those who have played in year's past and welcome to any new interested players!  I've been running this pool for about 5 seasons now and it seems to be better each year.  The rules are basically the same as last year, but please read the rules carefully and don't hesitate in contacting me if you have any questions.

READ BELOW FOR ALL THE RULES

HOW TO PLAY - Simple.  Once you are logged into the website you select your picks on our private, customizable web site, with the website automatically calculating the results and standings each week within the website.  Participants get one point for every game they pick correctly. So, if seven out of fifteen games were picked correctly, the participant gets seven points. This process continues for the entire season. The standing are updated on the website every day.  The participant with the most points at the end of the season wins the pool. We also pay out each week (to keep everyone interested) for the participant who picks the most correct that week. 

 

PARTICIPATION - Open to anyone who wants to play and can pay the entry fee on time. Some players come form Theta Kappa Beta Fraternity based out of Plattsburgh, NY and their friends. I encourage you to invite other players using the "invite friends" link on this website.

PICKS - Each player will pick all NFL games with the spreads given on the website.  The spreads are frozen on Wednesdays at Noon EST. and are generated by CBS Sportsline (I don't put them in). Each player must also pick the total points scored for each Monday night game to determine a weekly winner in the event of a tie. You must make your picks on the website by Noon Eastern Standard Time each week. If you forget to make your picks, you will automatically receive all the underdogs that week and you will NOT be eligible for the weekly prize.

TIES –

        Weekly - In any given week, the weekly winner may not be determined, even after the Monday night game. In this case, those who were tied will have the tie broken with the following week’s results. Example Bob & Jeff are tied after week 3. Both Bob and Jeff will have to wait until week 4 is over to see who gets week 3’s money. Whoever gets more picks in week 4, gets week 3’s money.

 

        Year End -  In the event of a tie at season’s end, the playoffs will be used to determine the winners.  The year end winner will not be determined by week 17's Monday night final score.   Example: After week 17, Frank & Joey are tied for 1st place. Frank & Joey would make picks for the 1st week of the playoffs by posting their picks on the website's message board as instructed by the commissioner of the league. Whoever gets the most picks, will be determined the 1st place winner, and the other will be the overall 2nd place winner.  If they are still tied then we will continue through the playoffs and to the Super Bowl if necessary.  If, by slim chance, the Super Bowl is the deciding factor then we will use the total score of the Super Bowl as the deciding factor.  The two (or more) players that are tied may, at any time, decide to split the 1st & 2nd (and possibly 3rd place) place money.

PRIZE MONEY - We will have a $25.00 Weekly Prize to the top team and will pay out the top 3 spots at the end of the season as follows: 75%, 20% & 5% of total prize money remaining. Exact amounts will be determined on the number of players and will be posted prior to the season starting.  A 5% fee will be taken from the pool for my time, effort and associated costs (pay pal, website, replying to emails, mailing weekly $, etc.)

ENTRY FEE - $100.00 (less than $6.00 for each week of the season). A minimum of $40.00 must be received by Tuesday, September 3rd to participate. The balance is due by Friday, October 4th. I encourage paying the entire $100.00 up front. Anyone who fails to pay entire fee by October 4th will be dropped from the pool without refund.  I prefer to be paid via Pay Pal (use link above), but I will also accept checks at the address below.

Checks may be mailed to:

Please post any questions or concerns on the message board located in this website rather than emailing me as other players may have the same questions - You may also send me a private message on the message board. I will check the message board more often then I will check my email. I've used this website for Fantasy Baseball and NCAA Basketball Pools and it's very good but I encourage all players not to wait until the last minute each week to submit their picks because of the heavy web traffic during those times. If you can not submit your picks because of problems on the website then please email them to me prior to the deadline at Jugxpress@hotmail.com.

 

ENJOY AND GOOD LUCK THIS SEASON !!!
