RULES

CFGL SEASON 6 RULES

Members must select a Power Conference to be bet on a weekly basis. These games are worth 10 instead of 7 points for a win. You may use Independents as a conference.

BASIC RULES

Each member picks a max of 5 regular games a week and a bonus game. Your one weekly power game is worth 10 pts. Each regular game is worth 7 points, a tie worth 3, and each bonus “Dog Game” is dependant upon your bet. (See Dog Game below)

All games will use the official CFGL lines released on Monday morning. You can pick the spread or the over/under. Late spreads will be updated as they become available. The spreads won’t change throughout the week. All picks to be submitted by 5 p.m. (MT) Friday. If you are picking a game earlier in the week (M,T,W, Th), you can get that pick in before kickoff.

WAYS TO PICK

*Straight up is picking a game using the spread or over/under. If LSU is -3, they must win by more than 3 for you to win the game. If the over/under is 42, you bet either over or under 42- the total points scored in the game.

Going 5 for 5 in a week (not including your Dog Game) will get you a 20 pt bonus.

*Stacking games is the option of putting more points on a single game. If you love a game you can make it worth 2, 3, 4 or all 5 of your weekly games. A 3 stack is worth 21 points (3 games x7 points) etc.

*Parlay your picks for more points. For a chance to win more points parlay your games. To parlay, group games together for bonus points. You can group games in 2,3,4, or 5. Every team in the parlay group must win to get points otherwise you lose the entire group. Here are the extra points awarded for parlays:

Odds on parlay-
2 team- extra 5 pts
3 team- extra 20 pts
4 team- extra 35 pts
5 team- extra 50 pts

*Money line the underdogs to earn more points. If you like an underdog to win the game straight up without points, pick the money line and you win the points of the spread. So, if you pick the Irish money line on a +5 game and they win straight up, you win an extra 5 points on top of your game (12 total pts)


GAMES TO PICK EACH WEEK

*POWER CONFERENCE GAMES
Before the season starts, each member will pick a Power Conference. Every week you must pick at least one game from your Power Conference. This game will be worth 10 pts each week instead of the regular 7 pts.

Power Weeks will be chosen once a season. This means once a season you pick all 5 games from your Power Conference. All 5 games will be worth 10 pts per game instead of 7. Power Weeks must consist of 5 different spreads and they can’t be stacked, parlayed or money lined.


*BINDING CONFERENCE GAMES (7 Pts)
Each week, members will have to pick a designated conference game to ensure everyone picks from every conference throughout the season. So one week will be Big East week, then Mountain West week, etc. If you fail to pick the Binding Conference game, you will be penalized a won game that week. If you are using your Power Week during a Binding Conference Game you have to pick the Binding Conference the following week.


THE DOG GAME
Instead of betting a Top 25 game this year you will bet an underdog for the points they give up. If you take the Irish +5, you get 5 points if the Irish win. If they don’t win, you don’t get points but you don’t lose points either. This game is separate from your other 5 weekly game. It’s purely bonus, so no stacking or parlaying. (Basically a money line game without a penalty)
