Q: What is a Playoff Power Ranking pool?
A: NFL fans are familiar with the term "Power Rankings". It refers to a listing of teams from strongest to weakest, whether based on statistics or perception. This NFL playoff pool format is based on the concept of ranking all the NFL playoff teams:
Pool members rank all 14 NFL teams competing in the NFL Playoffs from strongest (14 points) to weakest (1 point)
Members are awarded the number of points assigned to an NFL team when that team wins
Administrator's can configure their own progressive point system, by setting up a point multiplier for each playoff round (see Scoring Options section below)
Note: NFL teams that have earned a bye in the first week will not get any points for that week
Q: What is the scoring option we can choose from?
A: Pool Commissioners, when setting up their pool, may choose to keep their scoring system simple or create a custom scoring matrix.
Option #1 - Simple Scoring
With this option, a member will receive the number of points assigned to a team each time that team wins. A winning team is awarded that number of points regardless of which playoff round the win comes in.
Option #2 - Custom Scoring
With this option, Administrator's can create a custom multiplier for each round of the playoffs. A member will receive the number of points assigned to a team TIMES the multiplier assigned for that round.
Q: Is there a tie-breaker option for this format?
A: Yes. Go to your commissioner console --> pool settings --> pick & scoring setting --> toggle ON/OFF for the tie-breaker
Q: Whats the point system?
A: Members will receive points for each win equal to the point value they assigned to the team times the multiplier specified below.

Q: When are the standings (and other reports) updated?
A: Most updates will occur within minutes of the conclusion of each game, however due to the nature of the internet, we make no guarantee about the exact time an update will take place.
