Only the AP Poll will be used to determine the points

11.

Points will be awarded at each new AP Poll starting with the poll following week 2 of the season. The schedule of the 4 rounds can be found in Table 2 below:

12.

As the season progresses, a greater percentage of points will be awarded for each round. The amount of points you get for a round based on Table 1 will be multiplied by the Point Percentage in Table 2 to get the number of points for a particular round you have received. The percentage of points awarded for each round can be found in Table 2 below.

13.

The winner of a particular round will be the person with the highest number of points for that round only. Only the Overall Season winner will use the accumulated points throughout the season. (Note: The points will not start to accumulate until the Week 3 poll.)

14.

The winner of each round will win part of the total purse. The amount awarded for each round can be found in Table 2 below.

Table 2.	Round	Poll Dates	Point %	Pay-Out
	1	9/12 – 9/26 (3 Polls)	50%	80 Credits
	2	10/3 – 10/31 (5 Polls)	65%	90 Credits
	3	11/07 – 11/28 (4 Polls)	80%	100 Credits
	4	12/05 – 12/12 (2 Polls)	85%	-
	Final Poll	Overall 1^st Place	100%	130 Credits
	Final Poll	Overall 2^nd Place	100%	100 Credits

15.

In the event that there is a tie for the top spot in any round, then the winner will be the person that has the highest ranked team in the poll. If there is still a tie, then the person with the second highest ranked team will be the winner and so on. (Note: If there is still not a winner after going to the 4th ranked team, the first person to knock Bob out will be declared the Winner.)

16.

Waiver Rule: The day after each round, the person in last place in the overall standings has the opportunity to drop one of their teams and pick-up another team that is not 'owned' by anyone yet. After the last place team member goes through the waiver process, then the 3rd place person has that same opportunity and so on. The credit costs for going through the waiver process can be found in Table 3 below.

17.

Once you pass on the waiver process, you are done until after the next poll.

18.

If you do pick a team up on waivers, you can pick another team up as long as you the other players have had their waiver opportunity and you pay.

19.

The credits collected from the waiver process will be equally distributed to the winner of the section that comes after the waiver round and the Overall Season winner.

20.

A person can choose a team that was released by someone in the Waiver Rule process at the time of its release; they do not have to wait until the next waiver draft.
