NFL Pick'em Contest Rules
How to Play
- Enroll in BMR Forum’s Splash Sports contest page.
- Each member picks 7 NFL spreads beginning Tuesdays each week and assigns confidence points from 1 to 7.
- Picks must be submitted prior to kickoff. The deadline for picks is Sundays at 1PM ET.
- You are not required to enter all 7 picks at once, but keep in mind picks are made in descending confidence order. So if you ONLY enter a play for a game starting before 1PM Sunday (i.e., Thursday night), it will automatically be 7*. If that is not what you want, you can rate your plays up to the earlier game and fill the rest later. Footnote: when you are done entering plays, hit the up arrow (^) on bottom left to bring up picks and save.
- It is possible to end up with fewer that 7 picks in a week, if that happens, you would still get the points that you entered and a 0 for the picks missed.
- Tiebreaker for year-end prizes is total WINS. If still tied after Wins, prizes split.

NCAAF ATS Survivor Contest Rules
How to Play
- If there is no single Survivor through the end of the regular season, then the Grand Prize would be evenly split among all remaining survivors.
- We will post point spreads in this thread every Monday, usually no later than 2:00pm ET, and those spreads will not change for the duration of that contest week. All spreads will have .5s, making Pushes impossible. If any games are missing at the time that lines are posted, lines will NOT be added later. EXCEPTION: For Week 2 only, Lines will be posted on Tuesday.
- Simply select one NCAA Football team to cover the spread each week. Once your team fails to cover a spread, you are eliminated. Whoever advances the farthest is the winner.
- Once you pick a team, you are NOT allowed to use that same team again for the rest of the contest.
- If you miss one week it counts as a Loss and you are OUT.
- Must post in this thread.
- If a game is Postponed to a future week or does not reach 55 minutes of play, there is No Action and you must make TWO plays the following week. If a game is Postponed within the same week, the play has ACTION until it is completed. Note that “weeks” end on Sunday, so if game is Postponed until Monday, it is considered a future week and would have No Action.
- Picks must be entered by 12:00 Noon ET Saturdays OR prior to kickoff if your selection is played at an earlier date or time. Exception: IF this contest is still going on Week 14, the deadline for that week would be 12:00 Noon ET on Friday, November 28th.
- All picks are FINAL once entered with No Replacements allowed EXCEPTION: If your original play gets postponed to a future week, you are allowed to (but not required to) submit another play prior to the Saturday 12:00 ET deadline. If you submit a replacement in time, the original play will be ignored. If you do not replace your play in time, refer to PPD rule above (you must make two picks following week).
- You will NOT be allowed to replace a pick made on a team you have already used, if you select a team for a second time, you are immediately DQed.
- No Editing for ANY Reason, EDIT = LOSS = ELIMINATION
