League Rules

This league is independent and not affiliated with any professional sports organization. It's designed for friendly competition and development demos. Leagues are prviate. There is no entry fees, and no cash prizes.

Each Week

Pick the teams you believe will win that week’s scheduled games.
Assign each of your picks a unique confidence number (e.g., if there are 16 games, use 1–16 exactly once each).
Scoring: you earn the confidence points for each correct pick; incorrect picks earn 0.
Your weekly points add up across the season. Highest total at season's end is the overall winner (bragging rights, badges, and leaderboard glory).

Special Features

Wager Game (Double-Weight Game): Each week, one game is designated as the “double-weight” game. Use a confidence number on that game like usual. If your selected team wins, you score double that number. If it loses, that number is subtracted from your weekly total. (Example: assign 5, win = +10; lose = −5.)
Postseason Weeks: In postseason weeks, all games are treated as double-weight. Assign a confidence number to each game; wins score double, losses subtract the assigned number. These points still count toward your season total.
The Big Game Pick: Before Week 2 begins, or on first login after week 2, you must submit two championship game picks. Each correct finalist is worth +10 season points; getting both correct awards +30 total.

Submission Rule

Picks are locked 15 minutes before each game starts.
If you don't submit a pick, you will receive 0 points. Since there are less picks, there are less points. Get your picks in!

Winners & Recognition

Season winner is the player with the most total points after the final game.
In the event of a tie, the app highlights co-winners and may apply tie-display rules.
Badges, profile highlights, and community shout-outs are used to recognize top performers.

This ruleset is designed for friendly play, wide sharing, and simplicity. It borrows gameplay ideas (like the double-weight “wager” game and the “Hot Tub” reset) but is not associated with any third-party league or the NFL.
