Pick 8 teams to win or lose. 2 NMSU Games you pick the spread.
There are 340 Total Points Available for the season. Each weekly Pick Em is worth 20 points. Each NMSU Game is worth 6 and the other games are worth 1 point each, that totals 8 for the individual games.
For each NMSU game you pick the outcome of the game (winning team and spread). Points are awarded based on participation and accuracy.
Here is the breakdown of how points are awarded for NMSU Games:
Picking any outcome = 1 point (participation)
Picking the correct winning team = 3 points (1 point for participating + 2 bonus points)
Closest to final spread (higher or lower) while picking correct team = 5 points (1 point for participating + 4 bonus points)
Picking the winning team and exact spread = 6 points (1 point for participating + 5 bonus points)
This may sound confusing, but give it a chance.
Also if you feel like making changes to the NMSU games you can up until there start times. Just post it below as a comment and make sure to include your user name. Because of the amount of games a basketball team plays in a week and that things can change quickly, is why this rule exists. I want to give everyone a fair shot to score points.
Points will be tracked by me on a Google Drive spreadsheet, and updates will be given weekly. If someone sees something wrong with my math don't hesitate to let me know. Sign up is easy and free on Crimson To The Core. Good Luck!
