• Administration of Rowanspool will be done through www.splashsports.com.
• Every week, you will have until Saturday @ 8AM (MST) to submit your picks through www.splashsports.com. If your picks are not received by then, your picks will not be allowed for that week. The only exceptions made will be if you have technical difficulties and have a time stamped email or text response to Cory or Todd before the deadline. All lines will be pulled from a number of media sources every THURSDAY. The lines will be updated and set for the week on www.splashsports.com every Thursday @ 12 noon MST.
• Rules:
The rules are the same from last year. Included are the possible game cancellation exceptions:
In the event there is suddenly a forfeited/cancelled or postponed NCAA/NFL game that falls outside of the pick deadline of 8am Saturday MST and is not completed in the standard Rowanspool week (Thursday-Monday), that pick will be assigned a TIE for the week – A TIE is not a loss nor is it a win. We realize that it’s unfortunate that the pick cannot be changed past the deadline, but due to the size of the pool, coupled with various amounts of scenarios presented while trying to coordinate a change for those impacted; we felt it best to use this as the course of action. This rule was on full display 4 years ago when the NFL Buffalo/Cincinnati game was cancelled on Monday Night Football and was never played to completion. Rowanspool does not have the capability of allowing weeks to carry over to the next. In addition, Splashsports.com determines whether postponed games can be completed within the week in question. At times, a game re-schedule for a Tuesday may be able to be completed. Splashsports will not extend a postponed game past Tuesday for any given week.
You must pick 6 teams (College or Pro). If all 6 of your teams cover the spread for that given week, you win a share of the weekly total amount. You must have 6 winning picks in order to win each week. You cannot submit a pick that has an OFF line. If your team ties a spread, you push. With this pool, a push is a TIE and will not count as a WIN for the week. If more than one person picks 6 correct selections in a given week, the total pot will be divided by the number of winners. If no one wins in a given week, the pot will carry over to the next week. Winners will be paid out regularly once all payments have been accounted for that given week played.
Every week there will be $2 per person that will be put into an end of the season pot. The end of the season pot will consist of everyone’s total wins through their best 15 weeks. If there is a tiebreaker, we will take the tiebreakers total wins. The payout for the end of season pot will be as follows:
1st- 35%, 2nd- 20%, 3rd- 15%, 4th- 10%, 5th- 8%, 6th- 6%, 7th- 4%, 8th- 2%
In the event that the NFL season is postponed or cancelled Ruling… In the event that the season is cancelled, the remaining funds (for weeks not played) can be credited to your account for the next season or they can be refunded. If the season is postponed with a clear timeline that is expected to be reasonable for the continuation of the 2026 season, then we will wait until the postponed time frame to continue play.
If the season is cancelled, the accumulated season ending pot will be distributed as if the season ended on the completed week before the announcement. Ie. No partial week awards will be credited to a person’s totals if the week is not completed by all pool participants. This also goes for the weekly winners. In the event the NFL cancels their league in the middle of a week, anyone with a 6 for that week will not qualify for the weekly pot as the week was not completed by every participant.
In regards to the season end pot: If the season ends:
Week 1-3, there will be no weeks dropped in considering the winners.
Week 4-6, there will be 1 week dropped in considering the winners.
Week 7-12- there will be 2 weeks dropped in considering the winners.
Week 13-18- This will constitute the normal rules of 3 weeks dropped in considering the winners.
As always, both Cory and Todd appreciate your participating in Rowanspool! If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to us. We are looking forward to another great season!
