POINT SYSTEM: Points are awarded based upon the selections of others. If all participants choose the same team and that team wins, each player is awarded the minimum 8 points. For each other player that does not select the same team, a bonus point is awarded. For example, if a player is the only one to have seleted the correct team, the maximum of 15 points will be awareded. Best Bets are always worth double points. The Michigan game is the only one against the spread.
