Doubles Pool
You must be in the Season or Weekly Pool to enter.
You and your partner's wins are combined to give a Team total. The Team that is leading at the end of Week 17 will be the winner. If there are multiple Teams tied at the top, then a tie breaker will be used. Tie Breaker - The Team guessing closest to the total # of points scored in the final game of the Season will be the winner. The onus is on you to make sure that you submit picks each week. Your partner can submit picks on your behalf but must submit using your player name. No picks submitted = no wins for that week. I will setup Team names 1 to 15 for signup. Additional Teams will be set up as required. After a Team is filled, the name (subject to approval) will be changed to whatever you and your partner would like to be called. Entry Fee: one time $10 for the season.

Two To Go

Example - In week 15 there were 3 players left and they were all eliminated(they all had 7 wins), then the player of those 3 with the highest # of wins for the Season would be the winner.

You pick one team to win and receive the "Margin" or points that game is won by. You also lose those same points if your team loses. All games are straight up, NO "Spread". Winner is the person with the most points at the regular seasons end. For example, if you pick the Bears and they win by 8, you win 8 points, if they lose by 24 (more likely) you lose 24 points. You may only pick a team one time for the season. Duplicate picks or picking a team for the second time or missed picks will result in a penalty equal to the largest losing players Margin that week.

Deadlines

Pick sheets are due 1 hour before first game kickoff on Sunday.  

The pool has gone global so there are different time zones involved. To avoid time confusion its better if I use "1 hour before kickoff"
There are some Thursday and Saturday games.
For those games, submit picks for all games (1 hour before kickoff) and submit your changes of the remaining games by the Sunday deadline.
Only the Thursday or Saturday picks are shown on the Player Selection Page until after the Sunday deadline.

The pick sheet is posted on Tuesdays.
You can submit your picks as many times as you like. I realize you might find out information after you submit your picks that would make you change a pick. I will use your last submission.
The Players Selection Page will be posted just before kickoff.
