CONTEST PERIOD
College Football Pick'em will run from August 29, 2010 to December 4, 2010.
WEEKLY SELECTIONS
You will be able to play the College Football Pick'em ballot
each week of the college football season. There will be a total of fourteen (14)
weekly College Football Pick'em ballots. You must submit your weekly picks before
kickoff of the first game each week. The ballot close date and time will be posted
on the homepage each week. To play the weekly ballot, you will predict the winning
team for each college football game on the ballot. Once you have made your picks and
answered the tie breaker questions, you will then click on the Submit button. A
submit page will load. You must wait for the timer to countdown to zero on the
submit page before your ballot will be officially submitted. Once the ballot has
submitted, you will be sent a confirmation email. After the weekly college football
games have ended, your ballot will be scored and you will be sent a results
email.
In the event that a college football game is cancelled or postponed, the effected question or possible answer will be deemed void. ACCUMULATING TICKETS
The object of the contest is simple: Try to correctly predict
the winning college football teams each week throughout the college football season.
On each weekly ballot (except Week 14), entrants will select the winners of twenty
(20) college football games. On the Week 14 ballot, entrants will select the
winners of ten (10) college football games. A correct selection counts as one
ticket. An incorrect selection counts as zero tickets. You do not lose tickets for
making an incorrect selection. You do not receive tickets for correct tie breaker
selections. The College Football Leaderboard will be updated when the ballots are
scored.
PERFECT BALLOT: BONUS RAFFLE TICKETS
If you correctly predict the winners of all the college football
games on a weekly ballot, you will have a Perfect Ballot and will be awarded bonus
raffle tickets. The amount of bonus raffle tickets is determined by multiplying the
number of games in a given week by the number ten. For example, if there are 20
games on a weekly ballot, a Perfect Ballot would be awarded 200 bonus raffle tickets
(20 games x 10 = 200). These bonus tickets are not applied to the College Football
Leaderboard, but are simply bonus raffle tickets to be used in the raffle prize
section.
PRIZES
To view the College Football Pick'em ballot prizes and winners,
click on the "View Prizes" button above the College Football button on the
navigation bar.
WEEKLY PRIZE: The national participant with the best score on the weekly College Football Pick'em ballot will win 250 Bonus Raffle Tickets. If there is a tie for the best ballot score, the tie breaker questions on the weekly ballot will be exercised in order from 1-3 to select one weekly ballot winner. If there is still a tie after exercising the tie breaker questions, then a randomized computer drawing will be conducted to select the one ballot winner. ADDITIONAL FEATURES
Group Play: You have the option to group yourself with
friends, co-workers, or completely random
fans by joining or creating a group. Within each group you will be automatically
ranked based on your score. If a group is
created after the season has started, accrued tickets will be based on the group
creation date. Participants can join any
public group at any time. If you want to play with a specific group of people you
know, create a private group and make it
only accessible to those whom you have given the password. The creator of a group
sets the group name and password, if
applicable. All group participants will select a nickname for the group. You may
invite friends to your group by clicking on
the "invite friends' link. You may post messages to your group by using the message
board in the group.
Scorecard: You may view your local and national SPORTS
CHALLENGE ranking on the College Football
Pick'em scorecard page. You may also view your weekly ballots and scores. To view
the scorecard of another participant, go to
the College Football Pick'em leaderboard page and click on the username of a
