• On the weekly picksheet, select one team that you think will win by the biggest "margin" of points outright (no spread) that week.
• If the team you select for the week wins, the winning margin, or margin of victory is added to your season point total. If your selected team for the week loses, then the winning margin is subtracted from your season point total.
• The pool member that has the most points at the end of the season is the winner.
• You can only select a team once throughout the entire regular season (each week select a different team).
• If you select a team twice, you will receive the biggest LOSING margin for the week. The Commish will do his best to let you know that you have selected a duplicate team in your picksheet via email, but ultimately it is the player's responsibility.
• If you don't make a selection, you will receive the biggest LOSING margin for the week.
• If two or more players have the same total points after week 17, then total wins will be used as a tiebreaker. If they have the same total wins, they will split the appropriate place pot evenly.
• Each player contributes $5 to this pool so the payout will be determined by how my players are in the pool.
• There will be NO EARLY SPLITTING of the Margin pool among remaining members. The Commish does not care if there is a consensus among the members or not.
