Brief summary of the rules, which are pretty basic:
- Fifteen games to pick each week.
- Your entire slate must be entered by the kickoff of the first game of the selection
- Any COVID-related forfeits / cancellations will not count in the week's standings
- The tiebreaker game is one of the standard set of games. Therefore the first cut is the number of total wins predicted INCLUDING the tiebreaker game.
- First tiebreaker: Did you get the winner of the tiebreaker game correct?
- Second tiebreaker: How close was your predicted score? ("closest" is defined by how far away your predicted score is from the score, plotted on a graph of winner score vs. loser score. Illustration will be provided the first time we need to activate this tiebreaker)
- Third tiebreaker: Order of submission of picks (if you revise picks prior to the submission deadline, your order of submission uses the time of the last revision)

. Lots of back-and-forth games this week, so if you were following the action throughout the day Saturday, you surely had, as I did, flip-flopping visions of the thrill of victory and the agony of defeat flashing past your eyes. Onward to week two!
