How this pool works

The format

• Each week you pick one NFL team you think will win. That's it - no spreads, no points.
• Your team wins, you live to pick again next week. A tie counts as a loss.
• Your team loses, you're knocked out - no more picks unless you buy back in.
• No pick submitted by the deadline = knocked out, same as a loss.
• You may use each team only once all season.
• Picks close every week at Thursday 5:00 PM (or a different time if the commissioner sets one for a specific week) - once that passes, nobody can submit or change a pick for the week, even for a game that hasn't kicked off yet.
• Other players' picks for the current week stay hidden until that deadline passes.

Entries

• Every player starts with one entry.
• Knocked out? See a commissioner about buying back in - once they clear you, your picks re-open.
• You can buy back in more than once; the standings show each player's entry count. Buy-back counts are visible once you're logged in and approved.
