How does the game work?
You pick who you think is going to win each game.

When is the deadline to enter my picks?
You can pick the winner up to 15 minutes before the game is scheduled to start.

What if I don't pick a winner for a game?
If you don't pick the computer will select the most picked teams for you.

What are some recently added features?
We have added Fan Galleries for sharing photos and videos, avatars and public groups this season.

The season has already started. Can I still play?
Yes. Though games that have already started will not count toward your final score.

How are ties broken?
Fans pick who they think is going to win each game along with the score for the tie-breaker game. The computer then takes all the fans who are tied for most points and:
1. Subtracts what the fan chose as the score for the winning team from the actual winning team's score and squares this value.
2. Subtracts what the fan chose as the score for the losing team from the actual losing team's score and squares this value.
3. Adds 1 and 2 above together to get the fan's "score approximation".
4. The fan with the lowest "score approximation" wins.
If there is still a tie the computer then chooses a random winner from those who are tied.

Why doesn't my password work?
If you're having trouble logging in try our login help page.

How often are scores updated?
Shortly after each game.

Where can I find the official rules for this contest?
See Official Rules.

To whom do I direct scoring disputes and other questions not answered on this page?
You can send a comment on our feedback page.

Are there prizes?
List of prizes.
