Pick'em
The main game. Every week we post a board of about 10 games.
- 1Tap the team you think wins in each game.
- 2Set a confidence on each pick from 1 to 10, where 10 is your surest pick and 1 is your least sure. Each number is used once.
- 3When the games finish, a correct pick scores its confidence number. A correct 10 is worth 10 points, a correct 1 is worth 1, and a wrong pick scores nothing. So put your highest numbers on the games you are surest of.
- 4Add up the most points over the season to win. Your standing updates every week on the Standings tab.
Game 2
Survivor
High stakes, dead simple. One pick a week, and one mistake ends your run.
- 1Each week, pick ONE team you think will win.
- 2Win and you advance. Lose and you are eliminated for the rest of the season.
- 3You can never reuse a team, so do not burn your best teams too early.
- 4Outlast everyone else and you win the pool.
The twist
Beat the SFF
We make our own picks every week, right alongside yours.
- 1The SFF sits on the leaderboard as its own player, "the house."
- 2Your real goal is not just to win, it is to finish above us.
- 3Beat the SFF over a season and you have earned bragging rights we cannot argue with.

- Picks lock at each game's kickoff. You can change a pick any time before then.
- It is completely free. No wagering, no real money, just bragging rights.
- You can start picking before you sign in. We will save everything the moment you do.
