Rules
- Each pick must be submitted prior to the kickoff of the game. Any picks that were saved but not submitted will count, but all other empty picks count as zero points.
- In the event of a game ending in a tie, everyone loses that game.
- When making your picks for the week, you will notice a tie breaker box. This is always the final game of the week and your guess should be as close to the final total score (home team plus visiting team) without going over. This value is only used in the event of ties (see below). For example, if John Smith and Jane Doe both end a week with 90 points and 10 games correctly picked, then this value is used to see who was closest to the actual total points of the final game without going over. If John chose 30 and Jane chose 33 and the actual total was 32 (Home team: 20, Visitor: 12), then John is the winner for the week since he was close to 32 without going over.
- Payouts will be to the highest point total each week, as well as the top three point totals overall at the end of the regular season. In the event of a tie, the number of games correctly picked is the first tie breaker. In the event that is also even, then the tie breaker score of the final game of the week is used. In the event that is also a tie, the players will split the winnings.
- After you submit your selections or the week ends, and picks are no longer changeable, you may view other players' picks.
- All players are welcome, please feel free to invite anyone who would enjoy participating. All $40 entry fees must be received by the end of the third week. New players will be accepted up until the start of the third week and will be assigned the current lowest point total.
- The maximum number of points in 16-game weeks is 136 points, 120 in 15-game weeks, 105 in 14-game weeks, and 91 in 13-game weeks.
- If the season ends prior to week 9, then every player will be given a refund. However, if week 9 completes and then the season ends early, all prizes will be paid out at that point just like the season completed.
FAQ
Dashboard
Why can't I view others' picks?
For each week, you can only view rankings and all picks once you have submitted your picks for that week.How are rankings determined for weekly/overall?
All rankings are ordered first by highest number of points, and then total number of correct games picks. For weekly ranks, further ties are ordered by the tiebreaker score. Closest to the actual last game of the week's score without going over wins. If both players are over, then the closest to the score wins. In the event that both players have the same tiebreaker score, they tie.Edit My Profile
What are Auto Picks?
If a game starts and you have not made your pick for it, any remaining auto picks you have can automatically make the selection for you so you don't lose out on points. This can be made based on home, away or random. Everyone gets 3 total for the entire season and they do not replenish.What is the Auto Picks Strategy?
