Competition Rules

Making a Prediction

Every week, prior to the first game of that week (typically Thursday’s game), each player must submit a score difference prediction for every game. A positive number means the home team will win by that much; a negative number means the away team will win by that much.

Game Score

A game score is the difference between your prediction and the actual result — lower is better, and 0 is a perfect prediction.

Weekly Score

Your week score is the sum of your game scores across that week. A lower score is better, and a perfect week score is 0.

Season Score

Your season score is the average of your week scores across all weeks you’ve played. The lowest season score at the end of the season wins.

Season Prize Eligibility

To be eligible for a season prize, a participant must:

• Be involved in at least 9 weeks of the competition, and
• Participate in the last 3 weeks of the competition.

This competition runs for 14 weeks, ending with Week 14 (Dec 14). No submissions are taken past that week.
