I’m organizing a Pick’em Contest for the 2021 season.  My plan is to play for 11 weeks (Week of August 27 – Week of November 5).

 

 

 

Scoring:

 

Each week, there will be 10 games to pick.  You will pick the winners and assign a confidence rating for every game.  Your most confident pick is give the 10 point spot.  The next most confident pick is for 9 points and all the way down to your least confident pick for 1 point.  A perfect week will get you 55 points.  I will track points throughout the season by username.  For example:

10: Team A over Team B

9: Team F over Team E

8: Team D over Team C

 

 

etc.

 

Season Long Prizes:

 

For now, bragging rights.  Depending on how popular this endeavor ends up, I may throw a couple gift cards as prizes.

 

 

 

Picks:

 

Games will be posted by 5:00 PM on Monday.  I will do my best to incorporate some lesser known match-ups as well as try to cover the entire state.  Picks will be due by 7:00 PM on Friday.  Games that are cancelled/postponed will result in a shortened schedule for the week.

Cmon bro. You follow FHSFB as much as most of us. Makes for a better contest than picking straight up winners imo.

This pick'ems contest was not authorized by FloridaHSFootball.com. Please seek out admin permission next before running this. Thank you!

Sent you a message on Monday, still waiting for a reply. 

 

In the meantime I am not going to replace the Venice vs. Cardinal Gibbons match-up for the pick 'em.  If this is allowed to move forward, I will try to replace cancelled games if the cancellation is known early enough in the week (this week it was, but I was hoping to hear back from admin prior to adjusting).  For those who have picked that game, I will simply move the confidence ranks up for every other game and we will lose 1 point for the week for that game.

When a game changes the confidence points get thrown out of whack.
