Pro Football Confidence Contest Rules

1. All participants in the Pro Football Confidence Contest must be registered members of dirty-dawg.com Sports Confidence Contests. By registering, all members agree to and will abide by the contest rules as listed below. The dirty-dawg.com Board of Directors retain the right to revoke the membership and terminate contest participation of anyone that violates contest rules or fails to observe proper decorum on the dirty-dawg.com web site.

2. Each weekly game day will include 15 games except for the season ending playoffs. The dirty-dawg.com Board of Directors are solely responsible for choosing the contest games each week. For each game day (or game weekend), players must select the winner of each game and place a confidence number on that game from 1 to 15 with 15 being the most confident selection and 1 being the least confident. All picks must be received via the game entry form at dirty-dawg.com world headquarters by the time specified on the weekly game entry form. No late picks are allowed... and those players will be assigned a score equal to the lowest score minus 10 for that week. On those weeks where 14 games are on the slate, one game will be assigned "Blank Game" status. Participants are to assign a value 1 to 15 to the "Blank Game", but these points are neither gained nor lost in the scoring process.

3. Scoring is determined as follows: If the player correctly picks the winner of a game, that player is awarded the number of points equal to the confidence number placed on that game. If the player incorrectly picks the winner, the points are subtracted from the player's score. In each week there are a possible total of up to 120 points.

4. At the end of the season, a "Playoff Blowout" will occur in which the Playoff games will be selected for competition by the dirty-dawg.com Board of Directors. The "Playoff Blowout" will include the 12 teams in the playoffs, with a one-time confidence factor selection (from 1 to 12, with 12 being the MOST confident) on each of the teams before the playoffs begin. Points will be awarded (depending on your confidence level) for each game a team wins. Higher weighting will be given to the conference championship games (x 5) and the Super Bowl (x 10). You must participate in the "Super Bowl Blowout" to be eligible for the championship.

5. The player with the most points at the end of the season (including playoffs) will be declared the contest winner. If two or more players are tied at the end of the season, the player with the most wins during the season will be declared the winner. If two or more players are still tied, then the player with the most "Super Bowl Blowout" points will be declared the winner.

6. Weekly winners will be declared for those that score the most points for each of the individual contest weeks. In case of a tie the player with the most victories in that week will be declared the winner. If there is still a tie, the player with the most overall points will be declared the weekly winner. If there is still a tie, the person with the most points the following week will be declared the previous week's winner.

7. Any situations or conflicts that arise during the season that are not covered by these basic rules will be submitted to the dirty-dawg.com Board Of Directors for a decision and that decision will be final.
