Below you'll find the official rules and scoring for all contests on the EliminatorPools.com website.
"Daily Contests" are contests where the user picks every single day (or day there is a sporting event) in succession with every passing day. The contest advances each day and it does not end until a single user (a survivor via the process of elimination) wins, or, the season ends. If there are multiple winners (in the event of the season ending) the prize is divided amongst the winners.

The contest advances each week and it does not end until a single user (a survivor via the process of elimination) wins, or, the season ends. If there are multiple winners (in the event of the season ending) the prize is divided amongst the winners.

All contests available in the lobby will "lock" and not be joinable when the 1st sporting event linked to the contest begins. For example, if the first event is a 1PM NFL game, the contest will lock before 1PM and no longer be joinable. Editing picks after a contest lock is prohibited.
Upon the "round" ending (for contest styles that advance), the next slate of games (sporting events) will be available to pick from.
All contest results are 100% based on the data marked as "final" by our website's data provider. EliminatorPools.com is not able to alter the data or scoring results in any way.
EliminatorPools lets you join a single contest with multiple entries. Look for the "M" icon associated with a contest to determine if you can pick more than once.
You are able to remove yourself from any contest before it begins by visiting the "Upcoming Contests" screen. Your buy-in will be refunded automatically. Upon a contest beginning, you are no longer eligible to remove yourself and there will be no refunds of any kind.
