PEW WEBSITE WILL BE USED FOR ALL GAMES OF THE SUPER BOWL POOLAgain for 2017-2018, the entire Super Bowl pool will be played on the PEW website. Games will be picked as a tournament bracket, just as we've done in the past, but with this change: we will not use confidence rankings for each game. Instead, for each round of the tournament, games will have a set value. Like a "March Madness" NCAA pool, you will receive the points for each round for games picked correctly. The top three players with the most points will win a payout. We will also award week-by-week winners. In the event of tied weekly scores, we will break ties with the Super Bowl tie breaker score at the end of the tournament if there are no clear cut winners. The Super Bowl Tie Breaker will also break any ties for the Overall winners.

COST: The cost of the Super Bowl Pool is still the everyday low price of $10. You can use PayPal or Chase QuickPay to pay your entry fee (instructions below), or you can pay with good old cash, or even pay by check.
ALL GAMES ON THE WEBSITE: Go to the PEW website as you normally would or follow this link there to the Pool Selection page: http://www.simplysportsware.com/PoolSelection.aspx If prompted, log in with your username and password. Then, on the Pool Selection page, select PEW Playoffs Pool under Football Post-Season Bracket. If you access the website through the regular season PEW Pool instead, select My Pools from the Pool menu at the top of the page, and this will take you to the Pool Selection page.
TO PICK GAMES: On the PEW Playoff Pool page on the website, click Make Picks and the playoff brackets will appear. Then just click on the teams in the brackets you think will win the playoff games. The winning team that you've chosen will automatically advance to the next bracket. Repeat this process until you've filled out your entire bracket. First round games are worth 3 points each, second round games are 6 points, conference championship games are worth 18 points each, and the Super Bowl, correctly picked, is worth 48 points for a total of 120 points.
PLAYING MORE THAN ONE PICKSHEET: You may enter the PEW Super Bowl Pool more than once ($10 per picksheet) by using the "Aliases" function found in your "Quick Links" menu on the website. Click into the Aliases page, and simply press the "Add Alias" button at the bottom of the page. The website will generate a second picksheet for you under: "your name-2." If you have any questions, contact Dave Pennel ([email protected]), Jason Blackford ([email protected]) or Matt Steiner([email protected]).
DEADLINE TO PLAY: You must pick all of the tournament games before the first playoff game. There are no auto-picks available for this pool, and the website will not accept partial picksheets. If you are unable to access the website before the first game Saturday, you may contact Dave Pennel ([email protected]), Jason Blackford ([email protected]) or Matt Steiner([email protected]), and make picks.
PAYOUTS: Top three spots in the overall standings will win payouts (1st - 50%, 2nd - 30% - 3rd - 20%). We will also pay out $10 for weekly winners. If necessary, weekly ties will be broken at the end of the tournament using the Super Bowl tie-breaker score you enter on the website. The Super Bowl tie-breaker score will also break ties for the overall standings. Unbroken ties will roll-over to succeeding rounds until broken. If there are no clear-cut winners for any of the weeklies, the weekly prizes will then roll into the Super Bowl game at the end of the tournament. The Super Bowl Tie Breaker will also break any ties for the Overall winners.
