LMS Rules

-10 "points" per entry. The winner gets 1000 "points", the rest goes to a worthy cause.
 
-Pick one winner each week, no point spread. If your team wins, you move on to the next week. Once you use a team, you can't use them again.
 
-Your team must WIN. A tie is not a win; if your team ties, you're out.
 
-Picks are due every Wednesday by midnight.
 
-If a player doesn't make a pick in a particular week, their pick will be automatically made for them. The first time a player fails to make a pick, the team chosen for them will be the team chosen most often in that week by the other players in the pool. If that team has already been used by the player that didn't pick, the team chosen second-most will be chosen. If that team is also unavailable, the third-most will be chosen, and so on. Everyone gets one free pass. The second time a pick isn't made, the team automatically chosen will be the team playing AGAINST the team most chosen by the rest of the players in the pool. Same deal if that team has already been used by the person who failed to pick, it'll be the team playing AGAINST the second-most chosen team by all of the players, and so on.
 
-Whoever picks the most winners in a row is the LMS Champion. If more than one person was left before a weekend of play, and all those remaining players lose in that week, the pot is divided equally among them.
 
-If this pool makes it to the playoffs, everyone remaining after Week 17 gets a fresh list of teams, consisting of all the playoff qualifying teams, regardless of whether or not they used those teams in the regular season. It starts over in the playoffs, the rules are the same; pick a winner, use each team once.
 
-In the event of a hiccup with the pool, decisions will be made by the guy running the pool, not by committee. He is not out to cheat you, and will do everything in his power to be fair. This is a pool amongst friends that exists for entertainment, it's not big business. Please remember that if you have a concern that needs attention.
