Home Another
season is upon us, and it's time to get things ready for the first games on
Sept 9, 2021. The league rules are listed below for your benefit: As
a reminder: 1) You can view weekly results and the consensus sheets from past
weeks, look for the link on the left panel of the home page and 2) A
suggestion box has been added to allow players the opportunity to make
suggestions they feel could make the website more functional and
friendly. Remember picks can be changed and you can pay your fees
using PayPal (this is available whether you have a PayPal account or
not). Keep reading below for more details and how to use the
website. Players
will need to enter their picks for the coming week by the due date. Make your
selections online at www.OfficeFBP.com/fbp2021 or
print a pick sheet on the website and be sure to return your sheet by the
date and time shown to Woody at fax number (630) 607-7835 or email your
selections to picks@OfficeFBP.com. When
you logon for the first time in the season, the website will direct you to
your user information to check and click update when you have verified
everything is correct. For weekly players, your entry fee of $36.00
($2.00/week) plus a $4.00 add-on (to pay additional places weekly and the 10
places overall) for a total of $40.00 will
be due BEFORE the second week (see below for payment
options). Please comply with this deadline for fees, or we will not be able
to enter your picks. Casual players ($3.00/week) fees are due before the
start of the next week or your selections will be discarded. The Post
Season Playoff will have a separate fee schedule distributed in Dec
2021 along with a pick sheet. The
website www.OfficeFBP.com/fbp2021 will
have the current consensus, pick sheets, and results weekly.
If you wish to receive a consensus sheet (picks for all players) for the
current week include a FAX NUMBER that is always
ready, because I will not be able to send one to your location if you must
receive a phone call first. A separate fee of $1.00/per week ($18.00
for a weekly player) will be required for those requesting a fax of the
consensus and results each week. If more than one player is at the same fax
number, the fee will only apply once for the same fax number. This additional
fee is due at the same time as your entry fees. If you have internet access,
you can save this fee by getting your weekly consensus sheet and results from
the web page shown previously. Make
your weekly selections by marking each game winner and giving that game a
confidence number based on how strong you feel about the outcome. For a
sixteen-game week, confidence points 1 to 16 are used. You can use a number
only once with the highest number (16) going to the game you feel the
strongest about and the lowest number (1) to the game you are least confident
about its outcome. A fourteen-game week would use points 1 to 14 and so
forth. If the team you selected wins that game, the confidence points you
assigned are awarded and a total for the week is determined. If a game ends
in a tie, everyone wins that game and receives the confidence points they
assigned for that game. The tie breakers, total points scored for both
teams of the Monday night game and total offensive yards for the winning
team, is used to break ties in the event more than one player has the same
total confidence points for that week. There is an additional tie breaker to
enter during Week 17 which is used to break any ties for the overall
accumulated points for the year. Total score for Monday night game
is used first then Total offensive yards second if a tie still exists for
that week. Remember to indicate the total score on your pick sheet. Please
note- If you forget to make a pick or enter a confidence number for a
given game or forget to enter tie breakers, I will fill in what I can figure
out but will not be able to contact you to get the
correction. If you have any questions, you can contact me at the email
address below or call and leave a message at the number below. If a
weekly player forgets to get their picks in by the weekly deadline (usually
before the first game that week for internet access), they will receive the
default picks for the week. The default picks are all visiting teams
and confidence points assigned 1 to number of games top to bottom and the
default picks cannot win a week. Since the 2015 season you can
make changes to your picks. You still need to enter your picks by the
deadline, but changes can be made to games later in the week. After the first
deadline on Thursday, the Thursday game(s) will be locked and if a week has a
Saturday game(s), you can change your picks up until it is locked. Changes
can be made for the remaining games in the week up to the second deadline on
Sunday at noon. After the second deadline, all games will be locked (Sunday
and Monday games) and no changes can be made. The consensus will become
available after the second deadline. If you miss entering your picks,
defaults will be applied as described above however remember changes can be
made until the game is locked. Each
week $1.00 of the entry fee is paid out to the players with the highest total
for confidence points (65% to 1st place, 25% to 2nd and 10% to 3rd) and the other
$1.00 goes toward the final pot to be paid out at the end of the season to
the top ten players with highest total accumulated confidence
points. Places 4 thru 10 are paid out based on your entry fee of
$40 so 10th place returns the entry fee, 9th is 1.5 times the entry fee, 8th
is 2 times the entry fee, 7th is 2.5 times the fee, etc. The
remaining balance will be paid out 60% to 1st place, 30% to 2nd and 10% to
3rd. In the case of a tie any given week, the total payout is
split equally among the winners. At season end, ties for the top spots split
the winnings for the places they hold, a tie for 1st and 2nd would split 90%
of the total while a tie for 2nd and 3rd would split 50% of the total and so
forth. The post season playoff will use the same percentages for winners. Please
send your fee to the address listed below by the deadline indicated. You can
pay with a check (mailing address below) or pay your fees with PayPal using
an account you already have or using a credit card. If you pay by
credit card using PayPal, there will be a $1.50 handling fee (listed as
shipping and handling) added for a total of $41.50 ($40 + $1.50 =
$41.50). Update your user information on the website or on your
first sheet please include an address where your winnings would be sent. If
you are interested in receiving a weekly consensus sheet and weekly recap
(additional fee as shown above), include a fax number where it can be sent.
Also, include a phone number where you can be reached if we have any
questions, you have forgotten to mark a game or a total score. The weekly
consensus and recap are also available on the website. An alternative way to pay your fees
this season is to use Venmo and save having to pay the handling fee. If using
Venmo, send the payment ($40.00) to @Harley-Woodhouse. I will manually update the website
with your payment. Make
checks payable to Harley Woodhouse and send fees to: Harley Woodhouse, Contact
me at email address admin@OfficeFBP.com or
call my Cell Phone at 630-401-0530. GOOD LUCK. |
