Baseball Pool Game #1 Rules

Each player (team owner) will be assigned two baseball teams (one from the National League and one from the American League) for the 162 games each team is scheduled to play in the 2025 baseball season.

The 2025 baseball season starts this year with two games between the Los Angeles Dodgers and the Chicago Cubs starting on Tuesday, March 18, 2025 in Tokyo, Japan and ends on Sunday, September 28, 2025.

Each day starting on March 18, 2025 and continuing through September 28, 2025 if a team assigned to you plays on that day, that team contributes $0.35 to the Game #1 prize pool. ($0.35 x 162 games = $56.70 for the 2025 baseball season).

The total prize pool for Game #1 is $1,701.00 ($0.35 x 162 games x 30 teams) for the 2025 baseball season.

If a team scores exactly 13 total runs for a game (no more, no less), the owner who has that team wins the Game #1 prize pool money collected through that date.

If two or more teams score exactly 13 total runs for a game (no more, no less), on any given day the money in the Game #1 prize pool collected through that date is divided equally between the owners who have been assigned those teams.

The Game #1 prize pool is then reset to zero and the next day starts with each owner contributing $0.35 to the prize pool if their team plays that day.

All games postponed and played at a later re-scheduled date will be considered as a game played at their originally scheduled play date.

On the final day of the season (Sunday, September 28, 2025) if no team scores exactly 13 runs on that Sunday then the owner(s) of a team or teams who have equally won the least amount of money this season will claim and/or share the remaining Game #1 prize pool money.

The total $1,701.00 Game #1 prize money will be awarded at the end of the season.



Baseball Pool Game #2 Rules

The objective is for your teams assigned to you in Game #1 Pool to score a total number of runs in a game between 0 and 13.
When the pool starts, 14 numbers from 0 through 13 are listed for each team. To win, your team must check off the numbers from 0 through 13 using the final scores from their regular season games.
For example, the Cardinals play 4 games against the Cubs, winning three games with scores of 4-0, 5-3 and 4-3 and losing one game 4-7. The Cardinals would check off only the 4 and the 5.
The Cardinals do not get credit for scoring 4 runs the second nor the third time. The Cubs would check off the 0, the 3 and the 7. The Cubs do not get credit for scoring 3 runs the second time.
No owner can claim the Game #2 prize pool before their team plays a minimum of 14 games.
If no team checks off each game-total score from 0 through 13 by the end of the first half of the season (games played before the all-star break), the money from the first half of the season ($100.00) will carry over to the second half (the remainder) of the season.
All scores from the first half of the season will not carry forward. If there is a winner during the first half of the season, the pool starts new ($100.00) with the first game played after the all-star break.
If no team checks off each score by the end of the entire baseball season, the team that covers the most of their numbers wins the Game #2 prize pool.
In case of a tie, the Game #2 prize pool is divided evenly amongst the players who have been assigned those teams.
This prize pool usually has a winner about seven weeks into the season and the second pool about seven weeks after the all-star break.
Scoring:
• All games postponed and played at a later re-scheduled date will be considered as a game played at their originally scheduled play date.
• Total runs scored in each game played by each team will be recorded.
• Total runs scored in each game played by each team will be crossed off their chart.
• All 14 numbers must be crossed off to win.
• The total Game #2 prize money ($200.00 - $100.00 each half) will be awarded at the end of the season.

Baseball Pool Game #3 Rules

The Last Man Standing. The objective is for a team assigned to you in the Game #1 Pool to be the only team (the “Last Man Standing”) to have not been shutout (posted a zero) as their final score in a game.
If more than one team has not posted a zero by the end of the first half of the season, the money from the first half of the season ($100.00) is divided evenly among the owners who have been assigned those teams.
If more than one team has not posted a zero by the end of the second half of the season, the money from the second half of the season ($100.00) is divided evenly among the owners who have been assigned those teams.
This prize pool usually has a winner about seven weeks into the season and the second pool about seven weeks after the all-star break.
Scoring:
• All games postponed and played at a later re-scheduled date will be considered as a game played at their originally scheduled play date.
• Total runs scored in each game played by each team will be recorded.
• Total runs scored in each game played by each team will be crossed off their chart.
• Posting a “zero” as your final score in a game played before the all-star break will eliminate you from contention in winning this pool for the first half of the season.
• Posting a “zero” as your final score in a game played after the all-star break will eliminate you from contention in winning this pool for the second half of the season.
• In case of multiple “zeros” at the end of either the first half or second half of the season, prize money will be divided equally between the owners who have been assigned those teams.
• The total Game #3 prize money ($200.00 - $100.00 each half) will be awarded at the end of the season.
