2024/2025 Decathlon: Event Summary: College Sports
Status: Completed
RULES: COLLEGE SPORTS
College Football The first several picks for the new NCAA event are football bowls! As always, we pick against the spread. This year, we will pick the winners of 20 Bowl games plus the semifinals and CFP championship. The bowls have been grouped roughly by date played and all picks for a given group will lock just before kickoff of the first bowl in the group: For each group, you must pick a winner against the spread for each game. The seeds only exist to ensure that you pick one team from each game. Points: All spreads will be x.5 pts so there will be no pushes. Each correct pick in Group1, Group2 and Group3 earns 10pts. Correct picks in Semifinals earn 20pts. Correct pick in the Championship earns 30pts. If games are cancelled due to covid, picks for both teams will earn 0 points. If games or matchups are changed, Decathlon Management will make an executive decision on how to proceed based primarily on how much time there is left to re-pick. College Basketball, Part1 You will make a total of 16 picks, one from each seed pool (one 1-seed, one 2-seed, one 3-seed, etc all the way thru one 16-seed) Each team will earn: ...5 pts per win PLUS the value of their seed † ...10 pts for a Final Four berth ...15 pts for a Championship berth ...25 pts for an NCAA Championship † so a 1-seed would earn 6 pts per win, a 7-seed would earn 12 pts per win and a 14-seed would earn 19 pts per win. Note about the play-in games. If you choose a play-in as your 11 or 16 seed, you get the winner of the play-in game. No points are awarded for the win in the play-in game and picks won't even have locked when those games are played. Picks will lock at the tip of the first game, 915a Pacific Fri 3/19 College Basketball, Part2 Sweet Sixteen teams are seeded - select 4 men's teams for no more than 21 seed points and 4 women's teams for no more than 17 seed points.
