⚡ Live scoring during games

Your weekly points and record update while games are still being played. A pick counts as soon as your team is ahead, and it can flip back if they fall behind — nothing is final until the game is.

  • • Weekly totals are live. Season totals only move once a game is final, so the two can disagree mid‑game. That is expected, not a bug.
  • • A tie (or a spread pick that lands exactly on the line) is a push, and a push pays nobody — zero points, and it counts as neither a win nor a loss.
  • • Confidence picks pay the weight you assigned. Every other mode pays 1 point per correct pick.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

"Why did my rank drop when I won games?"

Rankings are relative to other users' performance:

  • Other users may have performed better in the same week
  • Your wins might have been on "easier" games others also got right
  • In confidence leagues, point distribution matters more than just wins
  • Late-season weeks often carry more weight in calculations
"How do tiebreakers work in leagues?"

Tiebreaker order is set by your league commissioner:

Last game of the week: Closest prediction to the combined score of the week’s final scheduled game — usually Monday Night, but whichever kicks off last when there is no Monday game.
Closest without going over: The same, except a guess above the actual total is disqualified.
None: Some leagues run no tiebreaker. Check the League info tab on your league page.
"Can I see my historical performance?"

Yes! The leaderboards track your progress over time:

  • View past season rankings and achievements
  • Track your improvement week-to-week
  • See your best and worst performing weeks
  • Compare your performance across different leagues
  • Achievement timeline shows when you earned badges
"What's the difference between global and league rankings?"
Global Rankings: Compare your performance against ALL DaqsPickEm users platform-wide. Best for measuring true skill level.
League Rankings: Only includes users in your specific league. Best for friend competitions and bragging rights.
Your global ranking considers performance across all leagues you're in.
