Survivor Pool Rules:

* One loss and you're eliminated

* You must pick one team each week to win outright. (no spread) Spreads are displayed only for informational purposes.

* You can't pick the same team twice during the season.

* An NFL tie is a loss

* A Duplicate pick is a loss. Check your picks!! Pick sheet should prevent it but you are still responsible to check! I'll change it using the following criteria if I catch it.

* If you do not make a pick you will be given the team favored by the most points that you have not already used.
* In case of a tie, you get the team with best record.
* In case of a tie, you get whichever team is playing at home.
* In case of a tie, you get whichever team nickname comes first alphabetically (i.e., Bears before Falcons, etc.)
* I must receive your pick BEFORE the deadline!!

Since there is a Thursday game every week this year (more or less) that pick will always be due by game time.
The Thursday game will never be the default pick if you don't make your own pick.

Margin Pool Rules:

*A Margin Pool is different from a Survivor Pool in that in a Margin Pool, you play the entire season, you are not eliminated with a loss. 

* You must pick one team each week to win outright. (no spread) Spreads are displayed only for informational purposes.

*Once a pool member picks a team, you cannot pick that team again.

*If your team wins, the winning margin, or margin of victory is added to your season point total. 

*If your team loses then the losing margin or a max of 14 points  is subtracted from your season point total.

*If you miss a week or make a duplicate pick: 14 points will be  subtracted from your season point total.

*Highest season points total wins. Total wins throughout the season will be the tiebreaker

*$500 will be awarded to the player who picks a winning team  the most weeks. It could be the same person who wins the overall season or it could be someone altogether different.
