NCAA Confidence Pool

How Confidence Pools Work

• Each week you pick a winner for every game, and place a "weight" on each game from 1 to 20*.
• The more confident you are in the pick, the higher points you place on that team.
• For each win you get the points you placed on the pick.
• The player with the most points during the week wins any configured weekly prizes.
• The player with the most cumulative points after the college football season ends wins the league.

What Players Get

Confidence Pool Manager Configuration Options

• Option to also subtract weight placed on game or a fixed amount for losses.
• Configure whether or not your league continues through the college bowl season.
• Specify your own weight values for post-season games.
• Specify weight value lost for games that are missed (e.g. Thursday night game not picked).
• Specifying an exact number of weekly college confidence games to pick (default is all games).
• Selecting which games your NCAA confidence league picks each week (Division 1 FBS games).
• Bonus points for correctly picking an underdog.
• Bonus points for picking perfect tie-breaker.
• Reverse Scoring option - wins worth 0, losses = weight on game. The lower the score the better.
• Ability to customize the Confidence Pool Rules page for your league.
• Option to set your college football confidence pool to be straight up or against the spread. If against the spread, the line can be set to variable (player gets line at time of his pick), or fixed (all players get the same line).
• Allow your players to create up to 16 clones to use to fill out separate pick sheets to increase their chances of winning.
• Weekly prizes from 1st to 3rd place.
• Final season prizes for 1st through 4th place, best total tie-breakers, and best overall Strength of Victory.  
• One custom prize, where you name the prize and set the winner when appropriate (for example, "best college football picks in December").
• "Bye" week feature that allows a player to forget a week and not be hopelessly out of contention. If enabled, the worst regular season week for each player is subtracted from their total points (only total points are affected, other stats such as win-loss record remain intact). The Standings will indicate the bye week determined for each player.



• Tracking of player league fees, per-player note annotation (e.g. "this person sent me a check"), and optional notification to the player when they are logged in to the site if they have a balance due. You can also configure your college confidence pickem pool to be weekly, where weekly cost for a player is updated only for those weeks they submit picks.
• Ability to accept credit card payments onlin for your NCAA college league fee.
• Branding your college football pool to look like your own by choosing colors and using your logo. You also get your own branded login page.
