Missing Picks

No late picks will be accepted. If your picks are not in by the 11:59pm ET Saturday deadline, you will forfeit your game for the week. If you miss sending your picks twice, your team will be taken over by the league and given to one of the players on the waiting list. If you will not have access to a computer in time to enter weekly picks, please email us before hand to discuss options.


Game Cancellation/Postponement

If a game is cancelled/postponed, that game will be thrown out for all players on the week it was cancelled or postponed (0 confidence points will be awarded). The game will be picked up by all players on the week it is rescheduled, if it falls on a Sunday.



scoring:



Determining Weekly Winners

All players will choose a total of 10 NFL teams they believe will win on Sunday. They will rank these teams from 10-1, with the team they are MOST CONFIDENT will win as the 10 point pick. The team they are least confident will win, should receive the 1 point slot. If the team you chose to win is victorious, you will receive the amount of points you allotted to them. If they lose, you will receive 0 points for that game. Also, in the event of a tie game, there will be 0 points awarded for that specific game.


The winner of each match-up will be the team who scores the most points. The maximum score any team can receive each week is 55 points.


Weekly Points

Regardless of which team wins a particular weekly match-up, both teams will get to keep their weekly points. These weekly points will help sort the overall Sunday Gridiron Challenge standings, with the team scoring the most points being ranked ahead of those with the same record.


Scoring Discrepancies and Errors

If you find a problem with the scoring for a week, you must let us know immediately. All scores become final once the first game of the next week begins, or after 7 days. Score checking will be done by two to three officials each week to ensure that each team's correct score and weekly points are counted.


Determining Teams Making the Playoffs

Based on a 32 team league, the 4 divisional winners in each conference will earn playoff berths. These teams will be ranked 1 through 4 based on their win/loss records. The other four spots in each conference will be filled with 4 wild card teams. The wild card teams will be the teams with the highest win % in the conference that aren't already in the playoffs. If there is a tie, that tie will be broken with total weekly points for the season, and then head to head records.


The Sunday Gridiron Challenge playoffs will constitute NFL regular season weeks 14 through 17.


Determining an Overall Champion

The 2023 Sunday Gridiron Challenge Champion will be the winner of the week 17 Championship Game.



tie breaking:



There will be two tie breakers this year, which we're confident will break each tie fairly. The tie breakers, in order of importance and tie breaking are listed below:


1. The first tie-breaker goes to the winner of the highest value game (10-1) won by only one of the two teams. Example: You and your opponent win both of your 10 and 9 point games, but only you won your 8 point game. Therefore, you have the highest value game won by only one team, and win the tie. Pick errors are not eligible to be used as part of tiebreakers.


2. (Regular Season) Your season points entering the week. The player with the highest number in the "Points" column on the standings will win the tie. (Playoffs) The best seed in the matchup will win the tie.
