Rules

  1. Each week of the season, The Poolmaster will designate one game as the Pigskin Special. The designation will go to the one game each week - either college or pro - that appears to be the game that generates the most attention from fans, media and sports talk shows. The Poolmaster will accept input from players, but reserves the right to evaluate the entire weekend's schedule and make the final selection. In other words, the Arizona Wildcats will not be in the Pigskin Special every week.

  2. Anyone who selects the Pigskin Special among their five games risks the same as they would if they played a Lock of the Week. Choosing the game correctly results in an extra half-point. A miss results in minus a half-point.

  3. The Pigskin Special is in addition to the Lock of the Week, which creates the potential for a maximum high score of 6.0 points and a possible low of -1.0 point for someone who plays both.

  4. The Pigskin Special may be played as a Lock of the Week. That increases the value of that game to 2 points for a win and minus 1 point for a loss.

  5. Players do not have the option of removing the premium point value on the designated game. If you play the Pigskin Special, whether or not you are aware it is the Pigskin Special, you risk the additional points.

  6. The game will be selected and posted on the web site no later than Wednesday. If there is no line on the game on Thursday, there will be no Pigskin Special that week. If there is no Pigskin Special in a given week, the Founding Fathers may designate two Pigskin Specials in a future week.
