Explanation

ASFL2 College Bowl Pickem is run through the league's Fantasy Games section, not through Yahoo!'s game. After the college bowl game matchups are announced a sign-ups will be available on the College Bowl Pickem Game Page for members who wish to participate. Once signed up, you can use the game page to submit your picks and can review and re-submit them at any time up until the game's deadline. A member's score for the competition will be determined based on correct picks, your chosen five toughest picks & five most confident picks, as well as correct conference ranking (in terms of winning percentage for each conference that plays three games or more) and record. When you submit your picks you denote your five toughest picks- the picks you've had the hardest time making because you think the game will be very close and you also denote your five easiest picks, the picks for which you're the most sure of your winning team. Your conference records and rankings will be automatically calculated by the system.

^In determining the five closest games, the farther into overtime a game goes, the closer it is judged to have been. If a game goes to four overtimes, but finishes with a team having a winning margin of eight, it is judged to have been closer than a game which saw a team win the game by one in regulation. If two games finish in the same number of overtimes, the winning margin is used as a tiebreaker. You aren't required to pick the game correctly to earn the points for a five closest game pick.
#You must pick the winning team correctly to earn points from your five easiest game picks.

*Tiebreakers will work as follows: (1) Most Points from Correct Picks
(2) Most Points from Conference Placements
(3) Most Points from Conference Record Points
(4) Most Points from Easiest Five Picks
(5) Most Bonus Points
(6) Higher Post Count
