From: The Pool Keeper
Ref: NFL Football Pool
As you know the NFL Football season is nearly upon us. In an effort
to bring some excitement into your life, I am offering you the
opportunity to participate in an exciting Football Pool. This should
be a pleasurable break in your daily routine. This is not an
ordinary Football Pool, because this Pool has many exciting options.
Once you enroll there is no requirement to play all 17 weeks. You
can play intermittently or terminate your participation at ANYTIME.
If you are skilled at picking NFL Football games, this Pool could be
very rewarding. By winning just 1 or 2 of the weekly pots, you have
more than paid for your season.
When enrolled you will receive the following:
a. Pick Sheets for all 17 weeks of the NFL season.
b. Additional guidelines for the Pool.
The following is a description of the Pools weekly cycle:
a. Complete your Pick Sheet and submit it before the first game
for week 1. See sample Pick Sheet enclosed.
b. I will review your picks, and if there are any questions, I
will attempt to contact you.
c. After Monday night games I will process all Pick Sheets with
the actual game results and determine the winners.
d. On Tuesday morning the Result Sheets will be distributed to
each player giving the results for the current week and YTD
standings. The winnings will be distributed at that time.
e. The cycle repeats itself (a thru d) for weeks 2-17.
f. After all 17 weeks of the NFL season have been played, the
POT-OF-GOLD based on YTD Standings will be distributed.
12-29-90 page 2
Pool definitions:
1. REGULAR GAME: (contribution 3.00)
a. As with any regular football Pool, you are required to pick a
winner for each game.
b. You must also assign a CONFIDENCE POINT number from 1 through
the NUMBER OF GAMES PLAYED THAT WEEK (i.e. 12 or 14) for each
game. The game that you have the most Confidence in your
pick, you would assign the HIGHEST points, the game with the
LEAST Confidence 1 point. You must use each number from 1
through the NUMBER OF GAMES PLAYED THAT WEEK only once.
c. The CONFIDENCE POINTS assigned to all the games you predicted
correctly are totaled. A missed game results in zero points.
Tie game points will be counted as a correct game.
d. The 1st and 2nd place winners of the REGULAR GAME are the
players with the highest and next to the highest CONFIDENCE
POINTS.
1st Place 70%
2nd Place 30%
Tie breakers:
Determines winner - Total Confidence Points
1st tie breaker - Total Games Right
2nd tie breaker - Lowest Monday point difference
2. GAMES RIGHT OPTION: (contribution 1.00)
a. Your participation is a weekly option.
b. The winner of GAMES RIGHT OPTION is the player who picked the
most games right. Tie games are counted as right games.
Tie breakers:
Determines winner - Total Games Right
1st tie breaker - Total Confidence Points
2nd tie breaker - Lowest Monday point difference
3. MONDAY NIGHT OPTION: (contribution 1.00)
a. Your participation is a weekly option.
b. Each week you must predict the total points you think both
teams together will score in the Monday night game.
c. The winner of the MONDAY NIGHT OPTION is the player who
predicted the nearest total Monday night points. The total
points predicted can be over or under the actual points
scored and still be a winner, if the total is the nearest.
12-29-90 page 3
Tie breakers:
Determines winner - Lowest Monday point difference
1st tie breaker - Total Confidence Points
2nd tie breaker - Total Games Right
4. YTD Standings (POT OF GOLD)
a. Your participation is automatic. Each week 15% of the total
amount that would be distributed on the REGULAR GAME is
accumulated until the end of the season.
b. The winner of the POT OF GOLD, is the player who has the most
total CONFIDENCE POINTS scored for the entire season. Total
CONFIDENCE POINTS is determined by summing all the CONFIDENCE
POINTS for each player on a week to week basis. Each week
the YTD standings (POT OF GOLD) is reported, so you can
monitor your position on a YTD basis. Remember, the winners
of the POT OF GOLD, are not determined until the end of the
season.
1st Place 70%
2nd Place 20%
3rd Place 10%
Tie breakers:
Determines winner - YTD Confidence Points
1st & only tie breaker - YTD Games Right
By winning just 1 or 2 of the weekly pots, you have more than paid
for your entire season. You may enroll at this time by completing
the enclosed enrollment form. I recommend that you complete and
submit this form as soon as possible. This should allow enough time
for you to receive the pick sheets and submit one before the first
game.
When administrating a Pool of this type, there are numerous expenses
involved such as paper, processing and handling. Therefore, each week
there will be up to a 5% deduction from the amount contributed for
the REGULAR GAME, to help defer these costs. This deduction will
hardly pay for the expenses and time involved.
This Football Pool will be processed with a computer program, which
will make administration of the Pool much easier for the Pool Keeper.
The rights to this program must be licensed for it's use. Each
player is asked to contribute $2.00 for the license fee. This
contribution will be deeply appreciated by the Pool Keeper.
I hope this presentation entices you to complete the enrollment form
enclosed, or seek additional information. This pool should be a good
time for all parties involved. I would like to thank you for
reading this document.

Enclosed: Your Pick Sheets
WELCOME, to the Football Pool, I hope you enjoy!
1. Weekly pick sheets MUST be received no later than the day PRIOR to the
first game of the week. The best time to do your picks, on a normal
week might be while you are watching the Monday night game.
2. Please submit your picks as soon as possible. On weeks when the first
game is on Thursday, I recommend you submit your picks on Monday.
3. If your pick sheet has not been received by the day prior to the first
game, I will attempt to contact you. If I contact you and you desire to
play, but simply forgot to submit your picks, I will try to accommodate
you. However, this will NOT be done on a continuous basis. If you
choose to play some weeks and not others, I will not attempt to contact,
if your picks are not in on time.
4. If you plan on being out of town (i.e. vacation), it is your
responsibility to make arrangements for your picks to be in on time.
You may submit your picks in advance, if you desire.
5. If you miss playing, even 1 week, the possibility of winning the POT OF
GOLD is unlikely. There is also the enjoyment of competing with other
players on a YTD basis.
6. Please be careful when preparing your pick sheets. It is very easy to
use one of the Confidence Points more than once. Please be legible and
accurate when copying your picks from the top to the bottom stub.
7. Entry of the total Monday night points on the pick sheet is MANDATORY,
because it is used for tie breakers on the Regular Game and the Games
Right Option. This applies, even if you do not desire to play the
Monday Night Option.
8. Please DOUBLE check your pick sheets for errors before submitting them.
This will help avoid difficulties from not being able to contact you in
time for corrections.
GOOD LUCK !!!!
