In bowl pick'em, it's a little different than our regular season pick'em in that you pick based on confidence points, not the spread. Confidence points are used to give a different weight to the 32 games in the college bowl season. You'll assign a point value from 1 to 32 to each game based on how strongly you feel about the accuracy of your selection. If your selection is correct, you'll receive points equal to the confidence point value you associated with that game.
So, if you pick Team A to beat Team B and assign the game a confidence point value of 25 and Team A wins, you'd get 25 points for the correct pick, but no points if Team B wins. You don't lose points for an incorrect selection.
Each confidence point value may be used only once. So after you have assigned 32 points to a game, your next highest available value is 31 points.
The deadline to make or change your picks is five minutes before each game is scheduled to begin.
Prizes:
1st place: 8000 BN Bux, award to be displayed in award showcase
2nd place: 7000 BN Bux, award to be displayed in award showcase
3rd place: 6250 BN Bux, award to be displayed in award showcase
All other participants will get the amount of points they receive times three. There is a maximum of 528 points available. Let's say someone scores 400 points and doesn't finish in the top three in the league, they would receive 1200 BN Bux (400*3).
