Beginner's Guide to the Last Man Standing Pool
How Do I Make My Picks?
- Every Wednesday morning I'll send out an email with a link to the pick entry page where you can submit your picks for the current week.
- You'll also see the week's spreads on that page. The spreads are provided for information only. ALL picks are straight win/lose picks, not against the spread.
- Clicking on a team's name or logo will take you to the team's official website.
- To pick a team, select the "radio button" in the middle of the football image next to the team you wish to pick. Just clicking on the football will not work, so make sure the "radio button" is filled in.
- You may pick any one team only two times during the season.
- Remember to fill out your name (or alias) in the space provided at the top of the form.
- In addition I'll send an attachment in (MS Word format) with the weekly email. In an emergency, such as if my website is unavailable due to network problems you can edit the file and send it back to me via email (darmstrong@rcn.com). Please use this method only in an emergency.
- You may want to print out the pick entry page after you fill it out, although you can print out your picks and all others from the summary page too.
Can I Change My Picks Later?
- Sure, just go back to the pick entry page and fill it out again. You can change your pick right up until the published deadline (noon every Sunday, or 1/2 hour before kickoff for Thursday or Saturday games).
Can I See My Picks, And Everyone Else's?
- Yes. After you make your picks (up to two or three hours) they will show up on the summary page along with all the picks that others have made up to that point.
- The current week's picks, winning picks, and losing picks are shown as described in the table below:
Current Picks Winners Losers - Note that since everyone can change their picks right up until the deadline you may want to wait until after the deadline to
print out the final picks.
I reserve the right to change the pick summary page after the deadline in order to amend entries which encountered technical difficulties.
What If I Forget, Or I Can't Make My Picks?
- You lose, simple as that.
How Do I Know If I'm Still In?
- You can check out the summary page, which I will try to update as the games are completed (if I'm at home and not doing anything on Sunday, that is...).
- All players whose selection loses are eliminated from the pool for the remainder of the pool, or until a re-instatement occurs.
- If all players have been eliminated before a winner has been declared (i.e. all remaining players lose during the same week), ALL PLAYERS WILL BE REINSTATED, and previous picks will be erased.
Important Links
The links below take you to all the important locations you'll need to enter and check your picks. I will provide these links in the weekly Wednesday email, but you should bookmark these pages so you can find them anytime you like. The pages are updated every week, but the URLs never change.
