College Football Pickem Available

3:17 PM ET on 8/15/12 by Jay Soester

The debut of College Football Pickem on the website is upon us. It's the 13th official game and the 19th total game to be featured on the website. Admittedly, the game is under tested, but time's run out and I'm fairly confident it's free of major bugs on the front end. If you notice any mistakes, please let me know.

The championship point payouts mirror those of NFL Pickem for the most part, while the game scoring is the same as that for AFL Pickem. I went with the AFL Pickem rules to put more emphasis on a correct pick more as this game will be far more prone to predicting blow outs than NFL Pickem.

For a full explanation of the game rules, go here. Each week will feature 25-30 games with each game of an AP Top 25 team being included. The final game week (#14) will cover two weekends: conference championship weekend & Army-Navy weekend. FCS playoff games may be included if needed to reach 25 games.

Games Available:
Fantasy Premier League (ID: 9177/Password: 123456)
Salary Cap Football (1003/123456)
Fantasy Football Draft Times
NFL Pickem
NFL Locks
NFL Standings Pickem
Premier League Pickem (Unofficial Games)

I hope to finish out league designations for Fantasy Football, sort out a post for help and send out a newsletter by the weekend.

Overall Standings Pickem Results

2:06 AM ET on 6/26/12 by Jay Soester

Dave Berrong won Overall Standings Pickem with 553 points, 40 more than Matt Humpal's 513 in second place. Dario Ambrozwiez was the only other member to crack 500 points with 506 combined from MLB, NBA, NFL & NHL Standings Pickem. Andrew Senger & Brad Duff rounded out the top five. Berrong earned the five extra championship points for the victory along with the 21 other members to finish in the top quarter of all 87 members to participate in at least one standings pickem game.

The 2011-2012 championship standings are now updated through all games. Michael Lytle jumped into the top ten the latest results. With a top score of 755.99 points before bonus points are added, each member's bonus point total up to 75.60 points will be added to the final, official standings. I hope to have everything sorted out by Wednesday night. Only four sets of bonus points remain to be ironed out, those from the Hockey & Basketball Standings Assignment (specifically from two of the 28 leagues), those from the NHL & NBA Playoffs Assignment, and those from member post counts & message board time logged in. I'll be double checking the championship points log as well, if you notice any mistakes, please let me know as soon as possible; once they're final, they're final.

NFL Locks - Now Available

10:11 PM ET on 8/2/11 by Jay Soester

NFL Pickem has a dance partner. NFL Locks is the second game on to be created on the league website to replace a game previously run through Yahoo!. Survival Pickem will now be moved to unofficial game status while NFL Locks takes Survival Pickem's place in Tier 4 of the official game list.

Reasons for the game's creation are given on the game's rule page. Instead of picking a single winner each week, as was the case with Survival Pickem, you'll now need to pick between three and five winners each game week with the result, margin of victory or defeat and pick weight being taken into account to determine a score for each pick. Unlike Survival Pickem, NFL Locks will feature week wins and championship points for 5-0 and 4-0 weeks on top of championship points for overall rank, pick points rank and number of week wins rank.

If you have any questions about the game's rules or page, use the game discussion thread.

Salary Cap Football Available

10:53 PM ET on 8/1/11 by Jay Soester

Yahoo! has returned Salary Cap Football from the dead in moving it back to their website from Facebook this year. As a result, the game has been given back its place in Tier 4 of the official game list. This development likely rules out MLB Day-to-Day Pickem filling in as a Tier 4 game in the event of a lost NBA season, but that's something I'll finalize in the future.
