Does this web site keep track of season point totals?
Yes. Each week participant points are calculated and a running total is kept. There is a report that everyone in your football pool can see with the season point summary. There are also various options available that allow the pool admin to disqualify participants from the list, whom have not submitted picks for the qualifying number of weeks. There is another option available which allows you to specify how many points a participant will receive when they don't submit picks for the week.
