How scoring works

Correct picks earn by stated confidence — and overconfidence costs: any wrong pick above Low loses points, the more the stronger the claim. A Low pick is the honest “pass”: worth a little when right, free when wrong.

Lock +10 / -12High +6 / -6Med +2 / -1Low +1 / 0

Predicted ties score 0 and tied games are excluded. Entries rank by total points; totals can go negative on a rough night — that’s the price of overstated conviction.
