Weekly Selections

Each week, the Front Office posts the official FOC lines and designates the eligible college conferences and NFL divisions. Those posted FOC lines govern the competition.

Each player makes 2 to 6 selections. Only one selection may be used from each designated conference or NFL division. Some weeks may allow all conferences and/or divisions.

Weekly Picks NFL Limit Over/Under Limit
2 Max 1 NFL* 0 totals
3 Max 1 NFL Max 1 total
4 Max 2 NFL Max 1 total
5 Max 2 NFL Max 1 total
6 Max 2 NFL Max 2 totals
*NFL selections are capped at 2 per week and may never exceed 50% of a player’s weekly selections.
Same-game exception: a game may be selected twice only when it appears under two different eligible conference/division slots and one selection is the ATS side while the other is the Over/Under. Each selection uses a different slot. Otherwise, the same game may be selected only once.

Weekly Scoring & FOC Lock of the Week

FLOW = 2x

Scoring Period Weeks 2 Picks 3 Picks 4 Picks 5 Picks 6 Picks
Regular FOC 1–7 ±2 ±3 ±4 ±5 ±6
Double FOC 8–16 ±4 ±6 ±8 ±10 ±12

The number of selections made determines the value of every pick that week. A win earns the listed value, a loss deducts it, and a push scores 0.

FLOW
Each player must designate one weekly selection as the FOC Lock of the Week. The FLOW is worth double the applicable weekly pick value. FLOW wins and losses are also tracked separately for the regular season.

Awards, SQI & Regular-Season Bonuses

Glory / Shame

🏆 Weekly Sniper Award (WSA)

Highest weekly score — +2 (Weeks 1–7) / +4 (Weeks 8–16). Tiebreaker: SQI.

💩 Bag of Shit Award (BOSA)

Lowest weekly score — -2 (Weeks 1–7) / -4 (Weeks 8–16). Tiebreaker: SQI.

Selection Quality Index (SQI): tracked separately from weekly scoring. It’s used for WSA/BOSA tiebreakers, the FLOW season tiebreaker, and the season SQI award. The calculation methodology is maintained by the Front Office.

Bonuses before Final FOC:

  • Best regular-season FLOW win–loss record: +10 (SQI tiebreaker)
  • Highest season SQI: +5. If tied, each tied player receives +5. If every player finishes with a negative SQI, no SQI bonus is awarded.

Final FOC

Survive & Advance

A player must finish the regular season with at least 3 points to qualify. Each qualifier selects exactly 3 games and may wager any amount of available points across them, but no more than 50% of the total points wagered may be placed on any one selection.

Tiebreaker: each player predicts the total score for one designated Final FOC selection. If the final standings are tied, the player closest to the actual total without going over wins.
