Scoring Option: Ranked Pick em Against The Spread (ATS)
» All games are picked against half-point spreads
» For each correct pick, users will receive the number of points equal to the confidence rank that they entered for that game.
» The goal is to score the most points, which may not equate to the most wins
» The "catch" is that ranking numbers can only be used once
  • Put high points on your most confident pick
  • Put low points on your least confident pick

» Odds are enterred for the following week after the current week's last game, by The PoolTracker Team
 
» How it works: Picking Against the Spread
  • Picking against the spread is where you try to determine which team will cover the spread; not necessarily which team will win.
  • While certain teams will win their game, they will not “cover the spread”, and thus if the team is selected it will count as a loss.
  • Example
    • The home team is favored by 16.5 points (-16.5)
    • The home team beats their opponent by 8 points (31 to 23), but, the home team's spread was (-16.5), so, when picking against the spread, the home team's score was 14.5 (31 minus 16.5), which is less than their opponent's score of 23.
    • This means anyone who picked the home team to win by 16.5 points or more was incorrect, since they only won by 8 points
Tie Breaker: Last Game of Week's Total Score

Allow duplicates:

    » Any player in the pool can pick any tie breaker value for each week.

Tie Breakers are calculated as follows:
If multiple players are tied for the highest points for any given week (or for the championship game in tournament type pools), the player with the closest tie breaker prediction, regardless if they are over or under, to the actual tie breaker value is the winner. If multiple players are still tied, then the player who enterred their tie breaker value first*, wins.

* = The player with the earliest date/timestamp for enterring their picks.

Please note that the date/timestamp is updated everytime a player's picks and/or tie breaker are edited.
