Sports Pool: Rules and instructions on how to play our NFL Pool!

Rules & How to play The number 1 rule is to have fun and enjoy challenging yourself. These pages and the information they provide are intended only to allow people to enjoy friendly competition.

Overview :
The information provided is based on a "pick the winners" type game where you pit your vast football knowledge against the spread of the weekly games. You will log into www.sportspool.com then select "Week 3 is open" button for example (If week three is the current week) to see the weekly games. Please note we try to enter games by Tuesday of game week to give you lots of time to make your selections. However if you see "Stop week is closed" then you will have to come back to enter your picks. From here click which team that you think cover the spread, submit your picks, and cross your fingers. If your team wins (covers the spread) you will be given a point. The person with the most points for that week wins. If there is more than 1 winner, ties are to be settled by the one who is closest to predicting the combined score of the Monday Night game. This guess is to be entered at the bottom of your picks for each week. So if Green Bay beats New York 21 - 3 then the total combined score would be 24. The player whose guess is closest to this will win the week.

Making your selections :
1.) You can only fill out the selection for the current week. Should you fail to remember to make your picks by the cut off date you will receive no points! There is absolutely no way to add selections after the previously entered end date. It is vital that you make sure your picks have been made so please verify from the login page that your picks have been made
2.) As you know technology can develop bugs that could affect points awarded, team picks and other important data. We have developed a system which is stable, fast, and as bug-free as possible, however, if a glitch is found, please report it immediately.

How the spreads work :
Spreads are usually applied on the Tuesday of each game week. You will see the favorite highlighted on your sheet and the spread in a box at the side.


Example: Example on How to play our NFL pool
This example has Green Bay favored by 7. If you select Green Bay in this example, they must win by at least 7 points for you to get a point. If they win the football game by 6 points or less, or heaven forbid they actually lose the game, you would not get a point. So just to recap, even if Green Bay wins, but they do not cover the point spread (By winning by 7 or more points) then the game is a loss.

Submit times will be open until the first game of the week. Submissions after that time will not be accepted, so please be aware of the Thursday and Saturday night games that happen throughout the year. We try hard to open the NFL pool as quickly as possible and during short weeks we will try and send an email broadcast reminder to players who have remained on our newsletter list.

If you have any other questions please feel free to contact us

Thanx and have a great year!!!
