The Basics

The concept of Daqs Pick 'Em is simple: Pick the winners of each game each week.

To enter, fill in the entry form by selecting the outcome of each game. The player who accurately predicts the most correct winners each week gets a win. If two players share the winning score for a week, the win is awarded to the player with the closest tie breaker points. At the end of the football season the person who has best overall pick ratio (correct picks / total picks) is our, season winner.

Making and Changing Entries

When filling in an entry form, you do not have to make a pick for each game. This is helpful if there are early games scheduled for a given week (games played on a Thursday, Friday or Saturday). You may make your picks for these games beforehand and complete the rest later.

Games are automatically locked out on the entry form according to their scheduled date and time. Early games are locked at the start of the individual game. All remaining games (including the Monday Night Football game) are locked at the scheduled start time of the first Sunday game.

Note: all times displayed on the schedule are Eastern.

You may change your pick for any game up until the time that game is locked. Entries must be completed on time. Once a game is locked, you may not change your pick for it. If you did not make a pick for a particular game, it is counted as a loss. If you submit a partial entry and either forget or are unable to complete it, the games you did not pick will count as losses.

If you have trouble accessing the site, logging in or completing your entry, please contact the Administrator for help. If you are unable to make your picks before they are locked out, the Administrator may enter your picks after the fact if the picks are communicated to the Administrator ahead of time.

Confidence Points:

Confidence points are used to give different weight to each of the games during a given week. You'll assign a point value (from 1 to 15 if there are 15 games, 1 to 14 if there are 14 games, etc.) to each game based on how strongly you feel about the accuracy of your pick. If your selection is correct, you'll receive points equal to the confidence point value you associated with that game.

For each game choose who you think will win and then assign your confidence points, using the drop-down directly below that game.

Each week's points will be tallied, and the player finishing with the highest total at the end of the week will be the winner for that given week.
