To determine results in league and overall competition, teams are ranked from first to last by averaging the number of team points per week. Each team's best 10 weeks are used to determine its average points per game. The highest average score of the ten best weeks will be used to determine standings.
Team, league and overall reports are updated weekly on the website by 5:00 PM CT each Tuesday and reflect results through the previous week's games.
Prizes are awarded at the end of the Contest to the top 50 overall teams and to the top 5 teams in each league with the highest average number of team points per week based on their best 10 weeks as follows:
