Margin of Victory Example: You predict the New England Patriots to win their Wild-Card game by 3 points. They win the game 21-17, by 4 points. The difference between the actual margin of victory (4) and your predicted margin of victory (3) is 1. This corresponds with the second row in the margin of victory box to the left, 1 to 3 difference, and you score 3 bonus points. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Important Points
Pick Deadline
The deadline for submitting your picks is prior to kickoff of the first playoff game played on Saturday January 9th. No picks can be submitted after the scheduled kickoff.
Point Scoring
Each team that you pick to win a particular round of the playoffs does not need to be playing the team you predicted them to face for you to score points for the win. Margin of victory points are only scored if you have the correct team winning the playoff game the margin of victory applies to.
Alternate Picks Submission
If you are having difficulty submitting your picks online, then send the picks by email to mike@myofficepool.ca. Make sure to clearly state your username and picks. The email must be received time stamped prior to the deadline and from the email account associated with your username. We take no responsibility for email being delayed past the deadline or not being delivered. Everyone should use the online system to make their picks and only send an email in the case of an emergency.
Multiple Winners
If more than one person ties for the standings at the end of the pool, then the prize is divided equally amongst the winners.
