 CFL Pickem is now available. Play for free. Why? Those of you that have been around the website long enough may remember CFL Pickem as a yearly occurance, even being promoted to one of the website's feature games for the 2012 season. With the success of NASL Pickem as a Reddit originated game, I decided to bring CFL Pickem back with that in mind and at the request of current members. How? - The Features Here are the game rules. Predict the score of each of the 81 regular season and 5 postseason games and earn points based on your picks versus the real scores. You earn 30 points for a correct result, up to 15 for the correct winning margin, up to six points for each correct team score, and six extra points if you pick the exact score correctly. The person with the most points from each of their picks is the winner. CFL Pickem and NFL Pickem use the same scoring system. We keep track of weekly, monthly, and full season results. We also ask that each participant select the team they're a fan of, so that we can keep track of the best performing fan group in the CFL. We also provide the standings within each fan group. Beyond the game standings, we offer league and game stats. There's a Game Averages & Percentages page that can help you make picks. We also break down the member standings by team picks, the team standings by points earned for each member, and the CFL standings based on the picks by each member. We also have the full season results grid as well as the plain game score grid that doesn't take teams into account. We also have a breakdown of each team's average points scored and points against by location. You can also use the game to team schedules. If the CFL subreddit isn't enough discussion you can discuss the game and league on our message board thread. If you have any feature ideas you'd like to see, please mention them in the game thread and/or email me. I'm currently looking for volunteers to help with score updates and a weekly preview and/or review writer. I'm open to reproducing content from another website or otherwise partnering with another website. I'm aware the ads on this website are subpar and have generally removed them from CFL Pickem. I'm hoping to find a sponsor of the game, email me if interested. If a sponsor can be found, I may be able to offer up a prize to the winner(s). Wait, What is the CFL? I believe the majority of North Americans know I'm referring to the Canadian Football League. It is the professional league for Canada's version of football. The CFL Pickem rules page goes into detail about the differences between the NFL and CFL, but for an in depth comparison, check this wikipedia entry. The game scores between the two leagues are fairly similar. All games are broadcast in the US via the ESPN family of networks, while TSN broadcasts games in Canada. Three of the four games in the CFL's opening weekend will be on ESPN2, while the fourth game will be broadcast on ESPN3. When? The season kicks off this Thursday, June 25th with the Ottawa REDBLACKS visiting the Montreal Alouettes at 7:30 PM ET. Each team plays 18 games over 20 weeks. Game weeks span from Tuesday to Monday. With nine teams in the league, one team is on bye each week aside from Week 16, where Toronto plays two games, one on Tuesday and one on Monday. Six teams advance to the postseason, with three participants in each division (though a team from one division may cross over to the other depending on records). Most games take place on Thursday, Friday or Saturday with a smattering of Sunday or Monday games and the single Tuesday game. We offer the ability to receive game reminders within 48 hours of a game if you haven't made your pick. Simple select "Yes" on the "Weekly Reminder?" drop down to receive them. Who are You? This is the All-Sports Fantasy League. While, not currently operating as an all-sports fantasy competition as originally designed, we still have a sizable stable of Fantasy Games to play for free. You don't have to register for the website to participate in an individual game. Simply click the "Sign Up" link on the body of game page and you're good to go for that game. Registering for the website allows you to carry your log-in between games and earn first dibs on limited entry games and in our Money Leagues.
