Weighted point system for playoff picks and bowl game picks
In order to recognize the importance of the playoff games, selecting the correct winner from those games is more heavily awarded when you tally your final score.
You can change the default scoring and assign custom points for each game.

how do i join a league
Hi Donald – To join a league you need to receive an invitation from a pool admin. Or you could setup your own pool and invite others to join it. We don’t have any ‘public’ pools. Hope that clarifies! -Sean
Can I have more than 100 entries? Also, how does a participant add an additional entry?
Hi Tony – Yes you can have more than 100. All entries are added the same way – fill out the entry form and supply your email and a unique team name. So they’d have to have a different team name for each entry but could have more than 1 per email. Hope that helps. -Sean
Would a better tie breaker be total points in the National Championship?
I’d wager 90%+ of folks will be on Bama/Clemson this year.
Hi Tyler – We updated our format for this year to have the tiebreaker be the total # of points in national championship game. Great suggestion … thank you!! – Sean
We normally pick the Top 25 bowls and then have each person pick the winner and assign a point value form 1 – 25. If you pick the right team you get the points you assigned to that pick, if your team loses you get minus those points. This is done on each bowl and the total points are added up. You must assign a unique point value to each bowl (cant use 13 twice for example).
Thanks for the suggestions, Jeff … fun twist!
Do you have a college football pool for all the bowl games that doesn’t have to be manually managed?
Hi Curt- Update … we do have an automated format available for the 2018/19 bowl games.
