The point value for each game is clearly marked. The sum of a player's best 17 weeks is the player's total score. The worst 4 weeks are thrown out.
If a player doesn't pick the computer will select the most picked teams for them. However, a player can't win a weekly prize unless they make their own picks and they can't win an overall prize for the season unless they pick at least 11 weeks (just over half) on their own.
Ties are broken as follows:
For an individual week:
Fans pick who they think is going to win each game along with the score for the tie-breaker game. The computer then takes all the fans who are tied for most points for the week and:
1. Subtracts what the fan chose as the score for the winning team from the actual winning team's score and squares this value.
2. Subtracts what the fan chose as the score for the losing team from the actual losing team's score and squares this value.
3. Adds 1 and 2 above together to get the fan's "score approximation".
4. The fan with the lowest "score approximation" wins.
If there is still a tie the computer then chooses a random winner from those who are tied.
For the overall season:
Each week fans pick who they think is going to win each game along with the score of the tie-breaker game. The computer then takes all the fans who are tied for most points for the season and looks at the final week's tie-breaker game and:
1. Subtracts what the fan chose as the score for the winning team from the actual winning team's score and squares this value.
2. Subtracts what the fan chose as the score for the losing team from the actual losing team's score and squares this value.
3. Adds 1 and 2 above together to get the fan's "score approximation".
4. The fan with the lowest "score approximation" wins.
If there is still a tie the computer then looks back at the previous week's tie-breaker "score approximation". If there is still a tie the computer goes back each week until the tie is broken. If there is still a tie after going back through all the weeks the computer chooses a random winner from those who are tied.
Pro Football Regular Season Survivor Game
Beginning with the first week of the season players pick the team they are sure will win that week.
If they pick correctly they'll advance to the next week. However, the only catch is that in future weeks they can't pick the same team again.
If they're wrong you'll still be in the pick'em game, but you're out of this game within the game.
Ties are broken by looking at the final players' overall pick’em scores through the end of the regular season.
If there are still ties then the computer looks at the last week's tiebreaker scores.
If there are still ties the computer picks randomly from those still in the running.
All decisions of the judges are final.
This contest is not intended for gambling. If it is determined that a contestant is using the contest for gambling purposes they will be disqualified and reported to authorities.
UPICKEM and its affiliates reserve the right to change the rules at any time.
This contest is officially sponsored by UPICKEM, 317 N 11th Street, Suite 302, St. Louis, MO, 63101.
