How does the game work?
Every week of the college football regular season, a list of that week’s college football matchups and corresponding opening score spreads will be made available to all registered participants.
You will pick 1 un-favored team (underdog) to win outright.
If your selected underdog successfully upsets the favored team, then you receive the specified spread points.
If your underdog loses, you will receive 0 points.
Each participant’s points accumulate weekly.
At the end of the season participants with the most points will receive a payout.
Payouts will be determined by the number of participants:
- 3rd = $20
- 2nd = 20% of remaining pot
- 1st = 80% of remaining pot
Pay to Play
You can join the game at any time during the season, however you must pay to play.
You can either pay by cash, or to my PayPal.
You will not be eligible to make picks until you pay the entry fee.
If you select a pick, before you have paid, it is ignored.
If you do not pay before the submission deadline, you lose eligibility for that week.
Deadlines
If a pick is not submitted before the deadline, you will lose that week’s eligibility.
You will be able to see everyone’s locked picks after the submission period ends.
You can change your pick anytime before the deadline.
I will submit my underdog selection BEFORE I open up that week’s submissions.
Games
The spreads are opening lines, and will not be adjusted.
I receive the opening lines from a 3rd party, I do not make them up.
If the game is not on the list; the game is not an eligible pick.Here are some reasons a game may not be on the list:
- It is not a Division I game.
- No spread has been determined a for the game at the time the list is made.
- The spread is not over 3 points.
- The line is not available at the time the list was compiled
- If a line does come available, I will NOT be adding it to the list. This is unfair for people who have already selected.
Errors
I try to eliminate mistakes, but from time to time I make mistakes like transposing numbers and including the wrong dates. If you notice an error notify me ASAP.
If I make a mistake in publishing the spreads and it is caught in time everyone will be notified, and all those eligible to make selection changes will be allowed to do so.
If it is past the deadline you will receive the “corrected” amount of points, so it’s in your best interest to notify me of something you think is questionable.
Tie breakers
At the end of the season if there are any players tied for 1st, 2nd, or 3rd will split the payout equally.
Finally
I reserve the right to modify, remove, or add any rules at any time for the sake of all the players’ benefit.
I look forward to playing all of you!!
