Pick'em

The rules

1. Each week's games go up Sunday afternoon or evening, always before Monday morning. Regular season: one from each division, 1A through 5A, two 6A games (6A doesn't split into divisions), and a game between two winless teams when there is one, up to 13 games. Playoffs: 12 games, one from each bracket, 1A through 6A, Division I and II.
2. Pick the winner of every game, then put them in order from the one you're surest of to the one you're least sure of. The top one is worth as many points as there are games (12 in the playoffs), the next one less, and so on down to 1.
3. Tiebreaker: guess the total points scored in all the week's games together. Closest wins, over or under. Just as close? The guess under the real total wins. Still tied? The sheet turned in first.
4. Picks lock one hour before the first game on the sheet kicks off (usually Friday at 6 PM), all at once. Change your sheet as often as you like until then. Nobody sees anyone's picks until the lock; after it, everyone can see everyone's sheet. Because points are weighted, every pick has to lock at the same moment: if early games locked first, people could see how others weighted them and copy.
5. A right pick earns the points you put on it. A wrong pick, or a game left blank, earns nothing.
6. A canceled game or a tie: nobody gets its points. A forfeit counts for the team that wins by forfeit.
7. Points count once a game is final. If a score is fixed later, the standings fix themselves.
8. There is a weekly winner and a season leader. Weeks 10 and 11 are practice weeks with their own leaderboard; everyone starts over at zero when the playoffs begin. Next year it runs all season.
9. Free to play, no money, just bragging rights. One person, one account.
