1. Winner Selection. Correctly predicting a regular season matchup will entitle the player to earn points. The points scale will be as follows:

Monday Night Games: 200 Points

Any Other Weekly Regular Season Game: 100 points

Winning the Game

Each week, every user’s score is posted on the standings page. Players with the most points are listed at the top. Tie-breaking rules will determine the rank for players with the same number of points. The “default game winner” is the player who has the most cumulative points at the end of the season after tie-breaking rules are applied. If there is a tie for the Top Cumulative Standings Score (Best Cumulative Score), the following tiebreakers will apply:

• Tiebreaker #1– Total number of correct picks for all weeks.
• Tiebreaker #2- Total number of correct picks for all Monday Games.
• Tiebreaker #3– Smallest tiebreaker absolute differential for the total score in the designated Week 18 tie-breaker game (calculated by: finding the absolute difference between the user predicted total score in designated Week 18 tie-breaker game and the actual score of the designated Week 18 tie-breaker game). The tie breaking will continue (week 17, then week 16, etc.) until a winner is determined.

In all cases, an entry that does not win a tiebreaker is eliminated from consideration. Odds of winning prizes depends on the total number of eligible entries received and the relative U.S. football knowledge of all entrants.

If there is a tie for the Weekly Standings (Best Score in a Given Week), the following tiebreakers will apply:

• Tiebreaker #1 – Smallest tiebreaker absolute differential for the total score in the designated week’s tie-breaker game (calculated by: finding the absolute difference between the user predicted total score in designated week’s tie-breaker game and the actual score of the designated week’s tie-breaker game).
• Tiebreaker #2 – Total number of correct picks for the given week.
• Tiebreaker #3 – Correct predicted winner for the Monday night matchup.
• Tiebreaker #4– Random drawing.

In all cases, an entry that does not win a tiebreaker is eliminated from consideration. Odds of winning prizes depend on the total number of eligible entries received and the relative U.S. football knowledge of all entrants. Winning entrant will be contacted using the email address and/or telephone number provided with the entry and may be awarded the prize (subject to verification of eligibility and compliance with the terms of these rules). Station’s decisions as to the administration and operation of the Contest and the selection of the potential winner are final and binding in all matters related to the Contest. Failure to respond to the initial verification contact within three (3) days of notification or failure to claim the prize within three (3) days of verification as a winner will result in disqualification and forfeiture of the prize.

1. Verification of Potential Winner. THE ELIGIBILITY OF ALL POTENTIAL CONTEST WINNERS IS SUBJECT TO VERIFICATION BY STATION WHOSE DECISIONS ARE FINAL AND BINDING IN ALL MATTERS RELATED TO THE CONTEST. The potential winner must continue to comply with all terms and conditions of these Official Rules, and winning is contingent upon fulfilling all requirements. The potential winner may be notified by email and/or telephone call after the date of random drawing and/or winner determination. The potential winner will be required to sign and return to Station, within three (3) days of the date notice is sent, an affidavit of eligibility and a liability/publicity release (except where prohibited) to claim the prize, if applicable.  A winner who returns the affidavit of eligibility and liability/publicity release will be deemed to have accepted the contest prize and thereafter will not be permitted to rescind their acceptance of the prize and/or return the prize. If a potential winner cannot be contacted, fails to sign and return the affidavit of eligibility and/or the liability/publicity release within the required time period (if applicable), or if the prize or prize notification is returned as undeliverable, potential winner forfeits prize. In the event that the potential winner of a prize is disqualified for any reason, Station may award the applicable prize to an alternate winner by random drawing from among all remaining eligible entries. Unclaimed prizes may not be awarded.
