» 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
