year long contest beginning with the first week of NFL playoffs (I would like to do 49 rounds one per week aside from the first and last week of the year which are both part weeks and one week off sometime to ensure we have an uneven number of events)

teams of 5-7 stackers. Prior to the first pick 'em I would like players who want to be part of Team USA and Team International to confirm their participation.

Pick 'em bounties as usual will be open to everyone. I will not be doing separate bounties just for USA vs the World. If a player who is participating in USA vs the World wins a pick 'em bounty, they will get bounty sats plus earn a point for their team. If a player who is not part of USA vs the World wins a bounty, they win the bounty and I will assign a team point to the top performing player who is confirmed to be in the contest. If we have a tie, regular tiebreaker rules will be in effect.

Depending how many players we get I would like to set a prize pool of somewhere between 50k-70k sats to be split by the winning team's members. There will be no buy in or zap the pot. It will be a fixed prize pool paid out by Stacker Sports.

I would like to feature a wide variety of sports but we will kick it off with the NFL playoffs. Once the 2025 NFL season rolls around most events will be the regular NFL pick 'ems but I will try to do something different occasionally so half the events of the contest for the year aren't just NFL. I would like to include soccer, basketball, cricket, baseball, hockey, tennis, golf, UFC/boxing as part of the events so we have some variety and aren't solely US major 4 sport centric.
