Rules for the Power Ranking Pool

The object of this pool is to rank all 32 teams from 1 to 32, the #32 team being the team you think will win the most games throughout the season, the #1 team being the team you think will win the least amount of games throughout the season.

Each time a particular team wins, a player will get the corresponding points(rank = points).

If a team loses or has a bye they will get zero points for the week.

This pool lasts from Week 1 through Week 17. After the season is over total up each team's points and write it in the "Total" column. Then add up the points in the "Total" column and write the final total in the box that says "Total Points". The participant with the most points wins!

Tie Breakers
I like to stress the importance of making the rules clear before the Office Pool begins. Many times a pool will end in a tie and no tie-breaker was mentioned at the start of the pool. Be sure to explain all rules to the participants before the pool begins. There is no one particular tie-breaker to use, sometimes you just have to use your imagination.

Here are a couple of simple ones:

1. Total Points scored in Week 17

2. Total number of wins by the number #32 team(or losses by the #1 team)
