SCORING:
Each week (a week for us goes by the Official Don Best rotation schedule) you can make up to 3 selections off the entire NFL board (sides only).
This means you can make 0 selections, 1 selection, 2 selections, or 3 selections for the week.
You can only make 1 selection per team. You cannot choose the same team for all 3 selections. Each selection MUST be unique.
Win=1 point
Loss= -1 point

Only the top ten players are paid, not position in the contest. If five players are tied for second place, they would take up the prize pool spots 2-6. The prize money will be added for these spots and divided amongst the tied players. It is possible to come in "5th place" and not make the final cut if there are many players tied in the 1st thru 4th spot.
Below is an example
$5,000 Jim 1st
$3,000 John T 2nd
$2,500 Joe T 2nd
$1,500 Steve T 2nd
$1,000 Rob 3rd
$800 Jack 4th
$600 Bob T 5th
$300 Rick T 5th
$150 Greg T 5th
$150 James T 5th
In this example, the 3 prizes for those tied for 2nd place would be added together and split amongst the three players. Each one would receive $2,333
The four players tied for the 5th spot the bottom four prizes are added and split equally amongst the four players. Each player tied for 5th would get $300
