NFL Office Pool Manager
 
It looks like I'll be running my office pool this year; ~ 60 runners ATS. The websites we've used in the past, Sportsline, Yahoo, someone's home brew, all had shortcomings IMO. Anyone have a favorite, hands down platform for this, preferably via website but I'll consider standalone. Thanks.

What kind of pool is it? What shortcomings did you have with the other sites? What features are you looking for?

Off the top of my head, the following areas have lacking some of the time:

--payments/payout tracker. Pools pay the win/place of the week, (picks ATS, the entire card) and season win/place/show (and possibly a 2nd half of the season winner)
--season standings (or week by week standings, e.g. a way to track your GB record week-to-week)
not beholden to a particular site's line. Bonus would be to import a line at a certain time/day from a source like covers.com etc, but that's quite optional
--I'd like to set a score=min[entrants] for those that miss the deadline
--Some sort of auto-deadline feature e.g. 90 minutes before 1st kickoff.
--MNF total points tie-breaker, or choice of tie-breaking methods.

I'll assume there's a 'commissioner' override for most aspects. The more features, especially for the users, the better.

I may be making this more complicated than it needs to be, but I'd rather that than to have some sort of controversy.
