3. How to Play

Make your picks before the weekly deadline.

Example: For Patriots vs. Cowboys, pick the winner you think will win.
Then pick the scores of that game, and submit..

Scoring

• Correct Winner: 10 points
• Exact Score: 15 points
• Margin of Victory: 3 points

Example:


• Correct Winner: 10 points
If the team you picked won, then you get 10 points. and if the team you picked loses, you get 0 points.
• Exact Score: 15 points
If you get the score exactly right, You will get 15 points added to your total score.


• Margin of Victory: 3 points
Margin of victory is your score you picked in the entry form that is the same with the actual score in the game. If you picked a team to win the game the score was 27 to 20, the margin would be 7 points. (27-20=7). Your score from the entry form was 7 to 0, thats still the 7 points, So you will get the 3 points. It doesn't have to be the "Exact Score" just the Margin.
