King of the Hill Rules:
·
This is a “survivor” pool. Each week you pick one NFL team to win.
You may select any team playing that week, regardless of who you might have
picked in previous weeks. Only games which appear in the Entry Pick screen are
available to select- This year, the first game of week 1 is on a Thursday, and
that game is not available to choose. All games of all other weeks are
available, including Thursdays. This is a change from previous years.
·
To remain alive you must pick a winning team (ties are NOT a
win). If you pick a team that ties or loses, you are eliminated from the pool.
·
The last entry standing wins the pool. In the case of a tie, the
prize will be split. The pool can run all the way thru the playoffs and superbowl, if necessary.
·
Submit picks using our new online entry system. If for some
reason you are unable to use the online system we will accept picks via email
or phone, provided they are received before we lock down.
·
All picks must be in by the deadline, which is usually 5pm
Eastern on Saturdays, unless there is a game earlier. Several weeks have
Thursday games this year, so the deadline will be before those games start. The
deadlines for each week are listed on the home page. During the playoffs, the
deadline is 5pm Eastern on Fridays.
·
Sometime after the deadline we will lock down the picks.
If your picks are not in when we lock them down, you will automatically get the
visitor in the last game of the week (usually on Monday night.) During the
playoffs, if you miss the deadline, you get the team that is the underdog by
the most points in Friday’s USA Today. In case of a tie, we use the game with
the latest start time. During the
playoffs, we will use the game with the latest start time. This is a change
from our original rules, because the pick system automatically uses the last
game listed, which we have to set up well in advance of knowing what the Friday
point spread is.
·
When the deadline passes, you will still be able to get your
picks in until we lock down the pool. Sometimes we don’t get a chance to log in
and lock down the pool until late Saturday or even early Sunday morning. If the
deadline has passed, and you can still access your picks for the week, that
means they have not yet been locked down and you can still get them in (lucky
you). But once they are locked down we do not make adjustments for any reason.
We have had many people request a late adjustment from the default to some
other team. However, we feel that in order to maintain the integrity of the
pool, once we make the picks public, that the players in the pool should be
able to depend on those as being final, and not discover picks have changed
during the course of the day.
·
Once the picks are locked down, you will be able to see
everyone’s picks for that week.
