Frequently Asked Questions:
Are pools legal?
Pools are completely legal if they are played strictly for entertainment purposes with no financial aspects involved, and products from Game Winning Graphics, Inc. can be used that way. As for employing entry fees and establishing cash prizes, check with your state and local laws concerning gaming activities. Some states have established modest limits for entry fees and cash prizes. Many times cash based pools can be legally operated in the interest of a charitable organization. Often times, pools that do not involve enormous dollar amounts are overlooked by legal authorities because of the time and expense in pursuing them. Modesty is the key. If you have purchased a pool from Game Winning Graphics, check the materials packet for exclusive access to information regarding this topic.
What is the best way to display the chart?
Make sure the chart is displayed where it is most visible. People need to see the game to get interested and engaged. Participants and bystanders alike will want to see the chart as the game progresses. The chart can be hung on a wall using a variety of methods. Affixing the chart to a firm backing, such as cardboard, allows it to be freestanding. This can make marking the chart much easier than having it attached to a wall.
What if my pool isn’t filling up?
Obviously, the more players you have the better the pool will be, but the Football Elimination Game, the Basketball Bracket Game and the Golf Tour Game can be run with only a few entrants. The other games do require minimum numbers to operate. It is possible to give your existing players multiple spots in the pool for each entry. Be sure to work in multiples of the total number of spots and to give each player the same number of spots for each entry. For example, the Baseball Run Scoring Game requires 30 players. If you can get 15 players involved, give each of them two teams. Ten players would get three teams each, and so forth.
How do I determine a tie-breaker?
There are any number of ways to do this, but the tie-breaker will be dependent upon the sport involved in the pool. Consider using any of the following: an individual player’s or a team’s statistics for a game, one team’s final score in a contest, or the combined scores of both teams in a game. Generally, the person getting closest to the number in question should be the winner. You can set whatever arbitrary limitations you like as to being closest without going over the number, guessing something exactly, etc.
Can different rules be used for these pools?
Yes! There are numerous variations for all of the games offered by Game Winning Graphics. Keep in mind that the rules provided by Game Winning Graphics for each game have been carefully written and successfully tested. Care has been taken in formulating these rules to avoid your confronting any discrepancies or questions. Also, these rules assure that all players have as equal a chance of winning as possible. This equity among players proves extremely valuable in encouraging return entries for your future pools.
