Payout

The goal is to get one true winner. In the event that multiple players go out, the payouts for those places will be added and divided equally, similar to golf payouts. I will not pay more than 5 people, so if we have a week with 8 people left and 5 lose, we will only pay the Top 3 and the 4th and 5th place money will be rolled into the Top 3 payouts. This also makes it possible for one person to win the whole pot should everyone but that player go out before the Top 5 is locked in, shout-out Shanley in 2024. If all players lose in a given week, they'll split the remaining pot, even if more than 5 went into the week. Payouts are as follows:

1st - 50%

2nd - 25%

3rd - 12.5%

4th - 7.5%

5th - 5%

2026 Rules 

1. You must pick one team to win each week and you can only pick a team once throughout the year. i.e. If you select the Colts in Week 1, you cannot pick them again for the rest of the competition. Picks are due by Saturday at midnight, unless you want to play the Thursday night game, then they are due on Thursday by 6pm. I will make every effort to get emails out prior to the start of the games so you know who to root for or against. 

1a. If you fail to get a pick in, you will automatically receive the largest favorite that you haven't already taken as determined by the point spreads in the Indianapolis Star on Sunday morning, even if you still have your bye remaining. This excludes Week 1. If you don't send me a pick in Week 1, you will not be in and I'll send you your money back.

1b. Picks can be made on the website IndyLMS.com. Just click on the "Make Your Pick" button. Each player will enter their email address, then select their name, week, and team they're choosing. (Adding the week allows players to also make picks in advance, as well as easier pick collection on my part.) If the submission is successful, you will go to a confirmation screen. You will also receive a confirmation email. If for some reason it doesn't work, just shoot me your pick in an email and I will get you in.

2. In order to advance, your team must win. In the event of a tie, you are eliminated.

3. We will play until there is one player remaining.
