What is an NFL 33 Pool?

The NFL 33 pool format is a great option for casual fans who want to add some excitement to their NFL football season without having to do extensive research on picks or worry about deadlines. In this format, each of the 32 members in the pool is assigned a unique NFL team. The goal is to score 33 points, and there are usually 4-7 scores of 33 points throughout the season. This format is simple and easy to understand, making it a great choice for first-time pool participants. It’s also a good option for those who want to avoid the hassle of managing a large pool with multiple scoring options.

How Does the NFL 33 Pool Format Work?

In the NFL 33 pool format, pool members are each assigned a unique NFL team (32 members max). Members win when their team scores 33 points. There are usually 4-7 scores of 33 points per team before the end of the season. One of the major differences between an NFL 33 pool and a different NFL pool, like a survivor or pick’em pool, is the member limit. If you’re playing this pool with your co-workers or friends, be mindful of the 32 member limit so nobody is left out of the action of the NFL season!

This is the perfect format for the more casual user, looking for some excitement during the NFL season without having to research picks or rush to get their picks in before a deadline. The key to this format’s success is its simplicity – all you need to do is pick a team (maybe the Dolphins or the Broncos have a track record that you feel excited to back) and hope they score 33 points! This makes it a great option for parties or office pools, where not everyone may be as familiar with the ins and outs of the NFL. Of course, because there are so few 33-point scores in a given season, this format also has the potential to create big prize payouts for lucky winners.

Customizing Your 33 Pool

Pool commissioners have several different options for how to run their NFL 33 Point football pool. 

• Pool commissioners can randomly assign different NFL teams to their pool members during the current week (with each poolie receiving exactly one bye), or they can set it once for the whole season.
• Another option is to choose whether members must get the exact target score of 33, or if the person who guesses the final score closest to 33 points wins. 
• Pool commissioners can also change the target NFL scores from 33. Get creative! A higher target score could make the pool more challenging and exciting.

Ultimately, it is up to the commissioner to decide how to run the pool in order to best suit the needs of the members.

How to decide a winner in an NFL 33 Pool

As a commissioner for a 33 pool, there are three ways that RunYourPool allows you to declare your winners:

Traditional

In a traditional 33 points pool, winners are declared only when their team scores exactly 33 points. If no one’s pick scores 33 points during that NFL week, the pool will roll over to the following week. When someone finally hits 33 points, they are considered the winner of that week, and all of the weeks before that that didn’t have a winner. 

This system encourages people to keep playing even if their football team isn’t doing well, because they know that eventually somebody is going to score 33 points and they very well may be the one to do it. You can dive deep into NFL strategy, trying to find the best team for each week to score exactly 33 points, or you can take the casual approach and hope your team hits 33 points! This pool is perfect for both the hardcore NFL fan and the casual pool player. It also means that there can be multiple winners in a single week, which can add to the excitement. 

The game is simple, but the strategy is not. To win, you must be aware of your opponent’s movements and plan your own accordingly. It takes patience and foresight, but the rewards are well worth it. So gather your team and get ready to compete for the title of the ultimate 33 champion.

Guaranteed Weekly Winner

If you’ve been struggling to come out on top in your neighborhood or office pool, this might be the perfect solution for you. Every week, select a target score, and the person who is closest to that score will be the guaranteed winner. It doesn’t matter if you go over the target score, as long as you’re closer than anyone else. 

This can be a great way to keep things interesting, especially if you have a large pool with plenty of participants. Of course, you’ll need to make sure that everyone knows the rules before your pool starts, but once everyone is on board, you’re guaranteed to have a winner every week!

With 18 weeks in the NFL season, you can keep the action going all season long, with a winner each week. Think about all of the bragging rights you can pile on throughout the whole NFL season!

Seasonal Winner

As any avid fantasy football player knows, each week brings a new challenge. Not only do you have to manage your team’s roster, but you also have to set a lineup that will score the most points possible. To help you with this task, we offer a seasonal differential calculation. This differential shows the average amount that each member’s team deviates from the target score. The winner is the pool member that came the closest to the target score on average for the season.
