One Point Per Game?

One Point Per Game?

How can I control the number of points? I just want each game of the week to be worth one point and then have the Monday night game be worth more. Is there a way I could do that?

The answer: No

jPickem requires two items per game/match-up. 1.) Winner prediction and 2.) Confidence points.

Example:

In a 16 game week, that means everyone will put 16 points on the game they are most certain about. They will put 1 point on the game they are least confident about. (The remaining points are applied to the other 14 games - each one having a unique value. i.e., You can't use the same confidence point value twice) If their selected team wins, they earn the associated points. So in a 16 game week, that would mean they could earn 136 points.

There is no MNF (Monday Night Football) bonus/tie-breaker. However if you wanted to make Monday night games worth more points, you could apply a point multiplier to that game. e.g., 3X would mean that whatever points they put there are worth 3 times the value entered. (This works well for games with evenly matched teams, not so well when the pick would normally carry a higher confidence point value.)
