2016 American Idol Top 12 American Idol Pool Pricing and Guidelines:

By using THEOFFICEPOOL.COM to run your 2016 American Idol Pool, you're taking away all the work and making your Idol Pool more fun than ever. There are no longer copies to make, entries to collect or scores to tally. The best part is, you can upload videos, photos or links and "chat" with other members of your pool as the final 12 are whittled down to your final 1. Real time scoring updates will be posted immediately after each elimination show, so you can see how you're doing against the competition.

Here's how to start...

- Log In or Register at TheOfficePool.com (all information is kept private)
- Click on "Create Idol Pool" from the "Idol" Menu and select a unique pool name and password
- Start inviting friends and co-workers to your pool

Simply create a pool with a unique name and password and start inviting people today. Once people have joined your pool by logging in and entering the poolname and password you provided on the "Join Idol Pool" page, they can make their weekly predictions for eliminated contestants on the "Make Weekly Pick" page and their pick for the overall winner on the "Pick The Winner" page. Each eliminated contestant pool members identify correctly gives him or her one point by default. Guessing the overall winner counts for 5 points by default.

*NEW FEATURE* - Pool Hosts can adjust those point values awarded for correct weekly and overall picks based on his/her pool preferences!

It's that easy!

Pricing will be based on participation. The cost is one dollar for every participant in your pool with a minimum of $10. Once you create a 2016 American Idol Elimination Pool, you will be responsible for paying this administrative fee between March 3 (when pool rosters are locked) and March 17 . If payment is not received by March 17, 2016 , your pool will be locked.

To pay, select "Pool Admin", and "Check your Pool's Payment Status"

There is no more exciting event in any year than American Idol. Enjoy the broadcast and your pool!
