The official rules for Risky
Football follow:
INSTRUCTIONS
- Risky Football begins September 3 and ends
with the final game of the regular season of the National
Football League (NFL) on January 1.
Registration and the
submissions of risks are accepted throughout the four months of the
game.
- The contest is free!
However, you are required to be a registered guest of S&P to play
and win prizes.
- You, an S&P registrant, who choose to
play begin the contest
with seven (7) points. You may choose any week to enter the game,
but if you are eliminated from the game, you may not re-enter during the 2011
NFL season.
- You may use your points on as
many NFL games during a particular week as
desired. Or you may choose to sit the week out and not make a
risk at all. Be sure to indicate which week your risks pertain to
using the drop down list.
- You may risk one or more of your acquired
points on each team that you predict will win that week.
- Your may submit your risk(s) at any time
prior to the beginning of the game
for which the risks pertain.
- Each time a predicted team wins its
game, you add the number of points you risked for that game to your
season total. But, each time a predicted team loses, you
subtract the number of points you risked for that game from your
seasonal total.
- Once you risk any of
your points on any particular team to win,
you are prohibited from risking any of your points on that team for the
remainder of the season.
- If a game ends in a tie, no points are
credited or debited from your seasonal point total.
- If, at the conclusion of any game for
which you have submitted a risk, your seasonal point total drops to
zero, you are eliminated from the
contest.
Example:
Let's say that you choose San Francisco to
win for your first week in the contest. You can risk from one to seven of your initial
seven points on San Francisco. Let's further assume that you risk
six of your seven points. If San Francisco wins, you earn six
points and will have thirteen points for your second week of the contest. But, if San
Francisco loses, you will have but one point for your second week. In either
case, you cannot choose San Francisco again to win for the remainder of
the contest. Remember that you can only risk up to the number of
points you have acquired over the course of the contest. And also
remember that if at any time you reach zero points, you are eliminated
from the contest.
REGULATIONS
- The prize purse will be distributed in
values corresponding to the following percentages: first
place, 50%; second place, 20%; third place 15%; fourth place, 10%,
fifth place, 5%.
- The player with the highest number of
acquired points wins the contest and receives the first-place share
of the prize package. Second, third, fourth, and fifth place players
are determined and awarded in order of descending acquired points. Players who tie for any rank within the award
rankings will receive equal prize packages worth the average of the
prizes that would be received by those players had there been no
tie. The players immediately below those who tie will win the prize
awarded for the place representing their performance had there been no
tie. For instance, if two players tie for second, the tied
players will each receive prize packages worth 17.5% of the
total prize package; the next player below the second-place tie
will receive the fourth-place prize of 10%. Players tied for
fifth place will equally divide the fifth-place prize.
