2024 is here
Welcome back to pickgameday, your home for the 2024 College Football Season.
Read more below to learn more about the season and how this year's competition will unfold.
HYBRID FORMAT
Rather than a week-by-week pool for the competitions and winnings, there will be a season competition and weekly competitions. The full season entry fee costs $25 to join and each week will cost $10.
Each week will feature 12 College Football games, mainly FBS, but may include FCS games on some weeks. To participate each week, the participant must pay the $10 entry fee and complete their picks submission before the deadline. The deadline for every week is midnight before the first game of that week in the Pick 'Em.
TOKENS + LEADERBOARD
Each week, participants can earn tokens as they correctly pick games. The weekly champion is decided by whomever has the most tokens that week. The season champion is decided by whoever has the most tokens at the end of the season.
A full season leaderboard will be updated at the end of each week. A live weekly leaderboard will be updated more often and can be found on the website.
Multipliers
For both Spread games and Money-Line games, two types of multipliers exist: a top-25 and a top-10. If both teams in that game are ranked in the top-25, the “token magnitude” is multiplied by 1.5. If both teams in the game are ranked in the top-10, the magnitude is multiplied my 2.
RULES + REGULATIONS
For each weeks, all picks are due on that week's Due Date, which will be explicitly stated. This will likely be at midnight before the Saturday Games. All submissions must be through the Weekly Form.
Check each week's individual web page for exceptions and other important information.
The Weekly Leaderboard can be found on the the website.
The leaderboard automatically calculates participants' total scores and pick percentages. The winner will be determined by total tokens, with any tiebreakers carrying over to the following week. First Place is to receive all of the winnings.
SCORING BREAKDOWN
GAMES
In the 2024 Scoring Format, there are 10 games at hand each week. The "weight" of these games is now divided into four tiers, each with different "weights" of tokens.
SCORING
In this Scoring Format, the scoring is divided as follows:
Tier I = 3 games worth 8 tokens
Tier II = 3 games worth 6 tokens
Tier III = 3 games worth 4 tokens
Tier IV = 3 games worth 2 tokens
There are 60 tokens available. 60 = (3 x 8) + (3 x 6) + (3 x 4) + (3 x 2)
The person with the most tokens at the end of the weekend is the winner. With no tiebreaker, if there is a tie, all tokens and money will "carry over" to the following week.
MULTIPLIERS
For both Spread games and Money-Line games, two types of multipliers exist: a top-25 and a top-10. If both teams in that game are ranked in the top-25, the “token magnitude” is multiplied by 1.5. If both teams in the game are ranked in the top-10, the magnitude is multiplied my 2.
The College Gameday Multiplier is a 2.5 X multiplier applied to the game hosting college gameday. This multiplier will not be added to top-10 or top-25 multipliers.
