Confidence Description
Points in a Confidence pool are based off of two things.
  • Correctly predicting which team will win each game
  • The associated "Confidence Points" for those wins
Confidence points are set by ranking each game with a predetermined numeric value. If there are 14 games in a week the confidence point values would be 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14. You then select a winner and choose which confidence point value you would like to associate with the team. Confidence values represent the points you will receive if correct and each value can only be used once.

If you think the team will absolutly win you want to use a high confidence value to receive the maximum points, if you are unsure if a team will win you would want to select a low confidence value.

If you pick the Lions for 14 points and they win you get 14 points, if you select the Raiders to win for 1 point you get one point. The winner is determined by the person that has the highest total of confidence points.
Confidence Game Options
Our Standard Confidence pool offers two scoring options.
  • Using Game Winners
  • Using Spread Winners

Using Game Winners = Choosing who you think will win the game.
