Rules
Each manager picks a line-up from the NFL teams making the playoffs (limit 3 entries per manager). Based on the scoring system below, the players score points each week of the playoffs. After the Super Bowl, the team that has scored the most points wins.
You keep the same line-up throughout the entire contest. There are no line-up changes after the first game of the playoffs.
Entry Fee per Line-up
$10 (winner gets 70% and 2nd gets 30% - we will round up &/or down to avoid giving change)
Entry Deadline
Your line-up must be submitted by the start of the first playoff game.
Payment
Payment must be sent ASAP. Failure to submit payment by the end of the playoffs will result in your removal from this, and all future pools.
DO NOT SEND PAYMENT VIA PAYPAL OR VENMO! It will not be accepted.

IMPORTANT NOTE: All stats are taken from nfl.com and are entered manually by me at the conclusion of each game (or slightly later if I'm at the bar). I have been known to make mistakes, so each manager should feel free to double check my stats and contact me about any possible mistakes. Deadline for stat adjustments is 48 hours after the conclusion of each game. After that, what the FFPC website says is gospel.
Tie-breaker
1st | - | total QB yards |
2nd | - | total RB yards |
3rd | - | total WR yards |
4th | - | total TE yards |
5th | - | total points in the Super Bowl |
If there is tie for 1st that cannot be broken using the tie-breakers, all managers tied will split the 1st and 2nd place money.
Final Explanation
There are 14 playoff teams and 14 players in your line-up - you get 1 player from each NFL team. So you cannot have Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce or Tutu Atwell and Puka Nacua. A player can be chosen by more than one manager. Your line-up can not be changed after the games start - each player in your line-up can score points for you until his team is eliminated from the playoffs.
