Dave's Pro Pik Um Rules
1. Pick one NFL football team each week to win their respected game. Email
picks to davesnflpicks@yahoo.com
before deadlines
2. If your team wins you advance to the next week
and you will pick a different team
3. If your team does not win you are out of the pool
3b. If your
team does not play a game for any unforeseen reason (for ex. but not limited to: weather, power outage, travel, covid, etc…) before the
start of the following weeks games, it is not a win therefore you are out.
4. If by chance your team ties, it is not a win
and you are out of the pool
5. ***ONCE YOU PICK AN NFL TEAM -YOU MAY NOT EVER PICK THAT PARTICULAR NFL
TEAM AGAIN***
5b. If you do pick a team for the 2nd time it
is considered a loss
6b. You must have your balance paid before you are
allowed to make your week 4 pick. If you have not paid
your entries by then you will not be allowed to pick for week 4 and therefore
not a pick which will automatically eliminate you from the pool. No exceptions
and No excuses (That’s almost a month to pay your bill. Cmon Man)
6c. If entered into Pool 2 which starts in
NFLWeek 7 You
must have your entire balance paid before you are allowed to make your week 10
pick. If you have not paid your entries by then you
will not be allowed to pick for week 10 IN EITHER POOL and therefore not a pick which will automatically eliminate
you from BOTH pools. No exceptions and No excuses. Pay your Bill!!!
(That’s almost a month to pay your bill. Cmon Man)
- Pool 2 has absolutely nothing to do with Pool 1 other than payment.

7b. In week 7 only and Pool 2
only – If you win or lose your 1st game (or the Thursday game on
Oct. 22 2026 you may (for another $20) pick any Sunday
game. If you win or lose that one you may pik (for another $20) the MNF game on
Oct. 26th and start from scratch. Pool 2 dates and times subject to change
8.
Your pick or change for the week must be e-mailed by 9:59 p.m. CST
(or earlier) the day before the football game (I.E. if you want to pick a game
that is being played on a Thursday, your pick must be in by
9:59 p.m.
CST Wednesday evening.) If you want a Sunday
game, you may wait til Saturday 9:59 p.m. CST
to e-mail your pick. If you forget to make a pick before Saturday
9:59 p.m. CST you must pick the Monday Night Football game
again before 9:59
p.m. CST Sunday.
8b. You may change your picks up to the deadline. If you enter a pick and
the deadline passes for that game then you must stay
with that pick. For example: If you pick a Thursday night game and then realize
on Thursday morning that you have already chosen that team, you may not make
changes after the deadline has passed. All picks are posted to the internet. I
cannot sit at home all day and wait for changes. If you pick a Sunday game and then
realize on Thursday morning that you have already chosen that team you may
resubmit a different team as long as it is in before
the Saturday deadline.
9. If you forget to pick or your pick is late and past
the last deadline for the week, it is not considered a pick for the week
therefore a team was not chosen and you are out of the
pool. If your Thursday or Sunday pick is late it is not considered a pick however you may still pick a future game as long as it is before the deadline.
10.
Last as
long as you can - sole survivor wins the cash!!!!$$$$$$$
10b. If there are 8 or more
people left in the pool and everyone in the pool gets knocked out in the same
week, they will automatically be reinstated to pick the following week. Their
team will be counted as a team used and may not pick them again.
10c. If there are 2 to 7 entries
left in the pool and everyone in the pool gets knocked out in the same week,
The pool will be over and the pot will be divided by as
many line entries that were involved.
11.
If more
than one person makes it all the way to week 18, the remaining players must
rank ALL 16 NFL games for that week. Deadline is 9:59 pm the day before the
first game of the final week. Your most confident pick will be in your 16-point
slot but cannot be a team that you have already chosen during the pool. It may look something like this.
16. Rams-------This team cannot have been picked
during the first 17 weeks
15. San Fran (If SF wins you get 15 pts)
14 Green Bay (If GB wins you get 14 pts)
13. Dallas (If Dallas wins you get 13 pts) and so on
12. Denver
11. Oakland
10. Miami-------And so on til you rank your least confident pick in the 1-point slot. The person with the most accumulated points will win the cash.
11b. If your 16 point team does not win their game, you are out and you don’t get to count the other games. If everybody’s 16 point team loses, then everyone will get to count their rankings to determine the winner. If there is still a tie the money will be divided among those teams.
11.b.1. In each Pool the payout system will be as followed. IF and only IF multiple teams make it THROUGH week 18 the payouts will be as follows:
2nd Place: $500* (with at least $5000 in pot) (If 2 or more make it THROUGH week 18)(If less than $5000 in pot then 10%)(minimum $100)
