New for 2010 NFL Football Season at EZSportsPick

In addition to winning in your own league, you could win big at EZSportsPick

Once you join EZSportsPick you're automatically and randomly placed in one of our four regular season conference brackets — EZ North Conference, EZ South Conference, EZ East Conference, or EZ West Conference.

Making the Conference cut — There will likely be hundreds of teams, like yours, in the conference that you will be competing against for a position in your conference bracket.

Do you qualify for regular season conference playoffs and a chance for a spot in the EZMasters National Playoff?

Qualification for Regular Season Conference Playoff is EZ – there are three parts to qualifications.

  1. — We must have your correct Name, Address, City, State, Zip, Email address, and other information. You can verify this information is correct by viewing your account info or click here.
  2. — You must be a member of the Football Executive Suite before the end of week 15 of the regular season (December 20, 2010). Sign up early to enjoy all the benefits of the Football Executive Suite for the entire NFL© season. You can learn more about joining the Football Executive Suite and all its benefits by clicking here.
  3. — You must be one of the top sixteen teams in your conference*.

If, by the end of the 15th week (December 20, 2010), you are one of the top 16 teams in your Conference and you are a member of the EZSportsPick Football Executive Suite, you qualify as a Conference contender. Congratulations – you made it to the Conference. Your name will appear in the Conference bracket and you are in the running to become one of the four (4) Conference winners.

How do I become one of the four (4) top Conference teams? Conference playoff contender matches start on week 16 (Dec 23 – Dec 27, 2010). If you make more points than your competitor FOR THIS WEEK, YOU WIN, and you move on to the next week where you will be competing against a new team. Again, you make your picks for week 17 for games played on January 2, 2011, and if you outscore your competitor this week, you win again and move to the final four.

NOTE: Ties go to the team that gained the most points during the regular football season.

Congratulations!!!!! You are one of the four Conference leaders and will advance to the EZMasters National Playoffs. You already made it as a Conference winner but will you go on to be the EZMasters National Playoff Champion?

EZMasters National Playoff? What’s that????? Those teams are the best of the best! The elite! The cream of the crop!

EZMasters National Playoff works the same as the regular season conference bracket. Winners of the January 8th and 9th games will determine the top eight. Those eight (8) winners will move on to compete during the January 15th and 16th games to determine the final four. These four (4) are already winners but will compete during the January 23rd games to become one of the two site leaders. Finally, the EZSportsPick Site Winner will be crowned if they pick the correct team for Superbowl XLV of February 6, 2011.

Ties: Ties will be decided by the team making the most accumulated points up to this point. If there is still a tie – the team that signed up for the Football Executive Suite first will be the champ.

*Teams must be a member of the Executive Suite before playoffs begin in order to advance to the playoffs bracket and compete for the Title. Teams that are not a member of the Executive Suite automatically forefit their position to the next eligable team. All ties are determined first by the number of regular season points. If the teams tied in regular season points then the team that signed up for the Executive Suite first is given priority.
