Please read and follow these instructions. Registration is a
two-step process. ALL PLAYERS must submit the registration form then
pay for the entry.
STEP 1: Fill out the form to
the right
and submit it. EVERYONE has to register, including returning players, so The Poolmaster doesn’t have
to take the time to go back to previous pools and track down your info.
If you don’t submit your registration, you can’t play.
STEP 2: Follow the payment
instructions. If you have funds in your account to cover your entry fee,
you are done after Step 1. If your account doesn’t cover your entry,
follow the payment directions below. Completing Step 2 without
completing Step 1 doesn’t get you entered in the pool. We will issue a
refund if you don't register.
We will update the Picks page and the
Accounts page as often as we can as we get
closer to the start of the season.
-
The entry fee is
$60 which covers the entire season.
-
Returning
players from ANY Mania pool: Every player who entered a Pigskin
Mania pool since last football season should have a
Pigskin Mania ID listed in the drop down menu. Select your ID. You must
also fill in your first and last name so we can match your name to
your account. Names are for our records only and will not appear on
the PM website unless your name is also your PM ID. If you have
previously entered under a team name, please submit the name of a
person on your team to represent the account.
-
New
players/teams: If you are new to our pools, skip the drop down
menu with existing PM IDs. Create a PM ID in the box. Then fill in the first and last name fields.
Your actual name is needed for our records to keep track of your
account. It will not appear on the website. Submit
a PM ID exactly as you would like it to appear in the standings and in
commentary on the website. Our suggestion is to keep it simple to avoid
having to send emails to The Poolmaster asking for your ID because
you forgot what it is. This will be your ID for all Mania pools and
for your account going forward. There is a minimum of 6 characters and
maximum of 20 for
your PM ID.
-
Multiple
entries: Multiple entries are permitted. If you want to attach
more than one entry to an account, submit each entry under the same
first and last name, but submit a separate Pigskin Mania ID for each
entry. The ID may be as simple as your original ID with a number added.
Example: Poolmaster, Poolmaster 2.
-
Fill
in the rest of the form completely
and submit.
-
Submit a phone
number and e-mail
address where you can
be reached during the
season. This is
especially important
in the event a
question should arise about
your picks during a
given week and we need
to contact you to
clarify. Indicate
if sending you a text
message is an
acceptable way
to reach you.
-
An
entry is not official until the
registration AND
entry fee is received.
-
Please
visit the
Rules page so you
know exactly how the
game works.
PAYMENT
INSTRUCTIONS:
-
Check
the
Accounts Page and
see if you have
any funds on account.
Every player who has entered a PM pool since the 2022 football
season is listed on the Accounts page. Check the
page even if you think
you have nothing on
account because you
may have winnings you
don't know about, you
may have overpaid some
Paypal fees, or you
may owe some fees.
-
If
you owe a balance, submit that amount plus the entry fee.
-
For
any mode of payment, be sure to include your PM ID as a note or
memo, even if your PM ID is your name.
-
Also
note that "Gonzales" in The Poolmaster's email address address is
spelled with an "S" on the end and not a "Z." A few payments in the
past have been misdirected because of that and those players had to
track it down to get a refund.
METHOD OF PAYMENT IN
ORDER OF PREFERENCE
-
Using Your PM
Account. If your name is on the Accounts
Page, any balance will
automatically be
deducted or added to
what you owe for the
upcoming season. If
you have $60 or more
on account, your
registration is
complete once you
complete the
registration form, so go to that
step right now. We
will update your
account. If you have an amount on the
Accounts Page less than the $60 entry
fee,
determine what you owe
then use one of the
other payment
methods. If you want
to use your account to pay for someone else's entry, provide that
information in the Comments and Explanations box. Remember, no
apostrophes.
-
Venmo. The Venmo ID is
@Javier-Gonzales-5. It’s also listed under The
Poolmaster's personal email address jaygonzales@comcast.net and
cell phone 520-444-3883.
-
Zelle. The Zelle account is
under the email address
jaygonzales@comcast.net.
-
Paypal.
The Paypal
account is under the
email address
jaygonzales@comcast.net.
NOTE: When you
submit using Paypal, check to see if you are being charged a fee for
the transaction. Make sure the net payment to PM is $60 or the
amount you owe.
-
Check or Cash.
Checks should be made
out to Jay
Gonzales. Please do not make
checks out to Pigskin
Mania. We've had a few
of those and it can
cause a
problem at the bank.
Feel free to note that
it's for
Pigskin Mania in the
memo section of the
check. Mail checks or
cash to Jay Gonzales,
7656 E. Park View
Drive, Tucson, AZ,

-
Entry
fees are due by
kickoff of the first game in your picks in Week 1, or if mailing a
check or cash, the postmark has to be no later than the day of the first
games. Your picks
will not be valid
until we have your
entry fee.
-
If you
have any special
circumstances, for
example if you have
extra amounts in your
account and want to
use them for someone
else, provide a brief
explanation in the
Comments and
Explanations box on the
registration form.
