Weekly Updates: The player/game spreadsheet is updated and an email is sent out each week with everyone's picks just after kick off of the first game of the week (after i've had time to put everyone's picks on the spreadsheet). The player/game spreadsheet is updated and an email is sent out Tuesday evening with the weekly results.

WELCOME BACK!!!!!!   ARE YOU READY FOR SOME FOOTBALL?!?!?!?

General Rules:

• Everyone playing must have paid their $5 PRIOR to the first game.  No exceptions. 
• Prior to the first game of the NFL league you need to pick one team to win their game. 
• Once you pick a team you can't pick them again in the future/You pick each team 1 time only 
• The team you pick that week must win that game to move on to the next week.
• If you win your game you are still in the league. If you lose your game you are eliminated. 
• Tie game = loss 
• Picks must be submitted PRIOR to kickoff of 1st game each week - most weeks have Thursday games.  Players are responsible for knowing when the games are.
• The last two people left in the league win the pot (80% first and 20% second) - 100% payout
• Each player must pick their own team - you can't pick for your spouse, significant other, family members, children, etc.  
• Children playing must be able to read and pick from all the teams playing each week 

1. The league is too big to send out reminders to get your picks in. Picks not received PRIOR to kickoff of the first game for that week it is a loss - no exceptions - 
2. When you submit your pick (via text or email) I will respond back so you know I received it.   If it is during the work day; I may not respond until my lunch break.
