Welcome to Slaveck Pools
Bob Slaveck's sports pools, and where to find the standings.
Bob runs other pools through the year as well. This is the only one with its own website so far — more may follow.
The 2026 season starts soon. Week 1 picks are due Wednesday, September 9 at 6:00 PM CDT.
Send your sheet to Bob before then. Standings appear on the pool's own page as the games are played.
How the NFL pool works
It's $5 a week, or $90 for the season. You pick a winner in every game and rank them by how sure you are — 16 on the game you're surest of, down to 1. You get those points for every game you call right.
Of each week's $5, $3 goes into that week's pot and $2 into the year-end pot. The top 4 share the weekly pot; the top 8 share the year-end one, worked out from your best 16 weeks of 18 — your worst 2 are thrown away.
You commit one week at a time. You can pay for weeks in advance if you want to, and you can join late or miss a week — but a week you don't play counts as nothing, and that eats one of the 2 you'd otherwise drop.
Joining, and paying
Email Bob and he'll send you the workbook. Send your picks back from the address on your Player Info tab before the deadline.
Ask Bob for payment details when you join.
