Instead of a "who ya got" pool. I have discussed with @BamaNation about having a season Pickem pool on the Pickem Part of the site. To which he agreed. So here are some rules:
HOW TO ENTER:
HOW TO ENTER:
- Direct Link to the pool: https://www.tidefans.com/forums/pickem/2020-regular-season-pool.2/ (there is also direct link to the 2020 CFB Regular Season Pickem pool in the PICKEM dropdown on the menu bar)
- Click on the red "JOIN POOL" button on the top right side bar
- Pick all of your picks and submit
- You can change your Picks at any point up this first week up until 11am CT on Saturday 10/3 (and the deadline time in subsequent weeks) at which point the week's picks will be locked and you can't make any new picks or change any picks.
- "MANAGE YOUR PICKS" prior to the deadline by clicking the red "MANAGE YOUR PICKS" button on the top right side bar.
- Must be logged in to enter picks.
- There is no cost to enter.
- ALL picks for this first week must be entered before 11AM CT on Saturday 10/3. Subsequent weeks will most likely also have an 11am CT deadline.
- There are at least 10 picks each week. Some weeks we may have more.
- There are 2 tiebreakers each week. One is the top rushing yards by a player in the SEC for that week and the other is the top passing yards by any D1 (FBS) player for the week.
- Each game is worth 1 point if you win the pick against the spread.
- If a game is not played due to COVID-19 or weather or any other reason, that game will be considered a 0-0 tie with no winners.
- Remember: Picks are against the spread. Picking against the spread example:
- Kudzu University is playing Weedkiller College
- Kudzu U. has -4.5 beside it meaning Kudzu U. is predicted to win by at least 4.5 points.
- Thus, if you picked Kudzu, they must win the game by at least 5 points before you earn the win point.
- Even if Weedkiller loses but does so by less than 5, you don't get the win point.
- Ties for any final prizes will be broken based on lowest cumulative weekly ranking s (i.e. if there were 4 weeks and one of the tied leaders finished #1,#1,#3,#5 the cumulative would be 10 and the other finished #2,#2,#2,#2, the second tied leader would win with a cumulative total of 8)
- Winner cash/gift card prizes are provided as defined by 81usaf92 based on the accumulated total points for the entire season. His decision is final. Top 3 places will be awarded for most points at the end of the regular season.
- BamaNation will provide at least 2 random prizes throughout the season in addition to 81usaf92's prizes. Players must have entered the Pick'em that week in order to be eligible to win!
- BamaNation will also do a random drawing at the end of the season (prior to any bowl games) for another prize. Each player will get 1 entry per week. So if a player plays all 10 weeks, s/he has 10 entries into the random year-ender prize regardless of how s/he performed.
- All random prizes are given at the discretion of BamaNation whose judgement is final.
- In the event that a tie cannot be broken as defined above, prizes will be split by the winners.
- In the event that any rule needs clarifying, BamaNation will provide the clarification and his judgement is final.
