General Pick 'Em Rules:
1.  We will be picking winners of NFL games each week.
2.  We'll be picking winners straight up.  No point spreads are used.
3.  This is a non-gambling league.  We're just playing for fun (and prizes).
(note:  a grand prize and other prizes will be awarded by Frank D. Mann, but no money is necessary to participate)

Making and Changing Entries

When filling in an entry form, you do not have to make a pick for each game. All that is required is that you enter a point total for the tie breaker. This is helpful if there are early games scheduled for a given week (games played on a Thursday, Friday or Saturday). You may make your picks for these games beforehand and complete the rest later.

Games are automatically locked out on the entry form according to their scheduled date and time. Early games are locked at the start of the individual game. All remaining games (including the Monday Night Football game) are locked at the scheduled start time of the first Sunday game.

Note: times displayed on the schedule are Eastern.

You may change your pick for any game up until the time that game is locked. You may also change your tie breaker point total up until the time all entries are locked on Sunday.

Entries must be completed on time. Once a game is locked, you may not change your pick for it. If you did not make a pick for a particular game, it is counted as a loss. If you submit a partial entry and either forget or are unable to complete it, you are still responsible for the entry fee.

If you have trouble accessing the site, logging in or completing your entry, please contact the Administrator for help.

Navigating the Site

Use the menu displayed at the top of every page to get around the site. Below is a description of each page.

Note: you must login in order to access most pages.

Home
This is the first page displayed after you log in. Check here for news, announcements and updates regarding the pool.

Entry Form
You may enter for the current week or make selections in advance for upcoming weeks using the links provided. To enter, select a winner (or call a tie) for each game and enter a point total for the tie breaker.

You may change your entry by returning to this page for the given week. Your current picks and points will be shown. Make your changes and hit the Submit button.

Note that you cannot make or change picks for games that have been locked. If you did not make a pick for a game that has been locked, it is counted as a loss. Also, you may not change your tie breaker point total once all games for the current week have been locked.

Results
This page shows each player's picks and score for a given week. Game scores will be updated as they arrive. All game results should be in by late Monday night or early Tuesday morning.

Results for each week's pool are generated automatically so once all scores are in, the winner will be declared.

For your protection, passwords are stored in encrypted format. If you forget your password, contact the Administrator and you will be issued a new one.

Login/Logout
Login here with your username and password. You must login first to access most pages on the site. If you're having trouble logging in, contact the Administrator.

If you are inactive for several minutes, your session may timeout. When this happens, the next time you try to access a page you will automatically be sent back to the login page. Just sign in again and you may then continue with whatever you were doing.

You may also use this link to logout and end your session. This can be used to allow another player to login with his or her own username and password.

You can always come to this page for help with finding your way around or entering and updating your picks. If you need further assistance, email the Administrator.
