Notes:

A winning or losing streak is based on consecutive picks that are correct or incorrect, respectively. The order of picks is based on top to bottom if written, or first to last if oral. If you lose a bet using the +6 rule, that game will not count toward a losing streak, but will not end a losing streak. Pushes end both winning and losing streaks.

The tie-breaker pool goes to the player with the lowest aggregate tie-breaker differential at the end of the season. A running total will be kept each week of your tie-breaker differential. For example, if your off by 4 the 1st week, then 7 the next week, your year-to-date tie-breaker aggregate would be 11.

If more than one player reaches a "carrot" milestone in the same week, the player farthest over the milestone wins. The $100 added for the next week counts towards reaching a milestone (i.e. if you hit $900, you essentially have reached $1000 since you get $100 for the next week). If a carrot doesn't get paid out, the Bookie Pool champion gets the prize.

You must bet 8 or more +6 games to qualify for the +6 winning percentage prize.

The "low-ball" pool goes to the player with the least amount of play money at the end of the season. Any ties are decided by the player with lowest winning percentage.

See rule 9 for breaking ties.
