POOL RULES

Please read the rules.
1) Pool cost is $10. ALL money goes toward the pot.
2) There will be a first, second and third prize. The amount (% of pot) will be set once we have a better idea how many participants we have. (I may add a fourth prize if we get beyond 60 people.)
3) We will pick the top five this year. (You will need to send me your picks for FIRST PLACE (WINNER), SECOND PLACE (First Runner Up), THIRD PLACE, FOURTH PLACE and FIFTH PLACE.) The top twelve will be mailed out March 12th.
4) Every week one of your picks remains (is not voted out) you receive points for that person depending on what place you put them in. First Place is 12, Second Place is 8, Third Place is 5, Fourth Place is 3, and Fifth Place is 2. For example, last year let’s say you picked David Archuletta to win idol. (He was the first runner up.) You would have received 12 points for him (you picked him first) for 11 weeks (he was 1 week short of the end), 108 points in total. This will be repeated for all five of your picks. Your points will be aggregated, and whoever has the most points wins. (Feel free to ask questions, I’ll send a more detailed example.)
5) All Picks and money will be due (to me) by 4:00 Tuesday March 16th.
6) The order of the eliminations is final. If two people get eliminated in the same show, they are tied, no matter what the order. (In case something happens strange…) The reason for elimination is irrelevant, if someone decided to quit the show, they are eliminated.
7) The more people we have the larger the pot is, the happier I am! Feel free to invite anyone to join the pool, in company or out.
8) Each week I will send out a sheet that has the leaders in our pool, how many points you have, etc.
9) Feel free to ask or forward me any questions you have.
10) So to recap, you should be handing me a piece of paper (or email) with your pickets for WINNER, runner-up, 3rd, 4th and 5th and $10 and a contact email. If someone is paying for you, please let me know who that is.
