Rules

The rules of the Loser Pool are simple:

• Each regular-season and post-season week of the NFL season, you choose one team you think will lose their game that week.
• You must make your selection for the week at least one hour before kickoff of the first game that week.
• In Normal Mode, if you fail to make a selection before the lock time, the team you selected the previous week will be automatically selected for you. If you fail to make a selection in Week 1, you will automatically be given last year's Superbowl champion.
• In Hardcore Mode, if you fail to make a selection before the lock time, you will have no pick for the week, which will count as a loss (the bad kind).
• In Normal Mode, you may choose the same team to lose as many times as you wish throughout the season.
• In Hardcore Mode, you may only pick each team once for the entire season.
• If your team loses, you get a "win" (the good kind). If your team wins or ties or doesn't play, you don't.
