Rules
Everything that decides who wins the week, the season, and the title.
Weekly Picks
- Pick a side against the spread in every game, every week.
- Every spread carries a half point, so no pick can push — there's always a winner.
- Home teams are always on the right side of the matchup.
- Pick one game a week as your 2-point double — get it right for double the points.
- Picks lock the moment that game kicks off.
- Guess the combined final score of the week's last game — closest guess wins tiebreakers.
Regular Season & Scoring
- A correct pick is worth 1 point. Your double pick is worth 2.
- Standings rank by total points first.
- Still tied? .
- Every member sits in one division, inside one of two conferences.
Playoffs
