You'll be picking the winner of each game, with confidence points assigned. I wanted to find a contest with the spread involved, but I couldn't find anything.
 
I am in but have no idea how to do the "confidence" points. I know that I missed a week in Yahoo even though I thought I had saved it but Yahoo was so much more user-friendly than this site especially when it comes to this game. It is pretty frustrating and should not be.

It's pretty simple, as it turns out. Link below, but basically, you only get to use one point amount once--so you give your most certain choice the highest number of points. If you're right, you get the points. Most points from all the games picked at the end wins. There's a box beside each game that lets you click it to move the choice up or down so you can assign the points.

Link isn't for the ESPiN game, but I'm sure it works the same way.

One thing occurs to me, now that I look at the game page again--at first I thought I should put my favorite pick at the top: It's Number One. But, now I'm thinking that would mean I only gave it ONE confidence point. So, am I right that I want to put my #1 pick down in position 41, as in 41 points there? It's a little counter-intuitive to me, so feedback is welcome.

I will give it another try but I am having problems putting the points into the box.

You should put the game that you are most confident in at the bottom. That will give you 41 points and the one that you are at least confident in should be at the top. It goes from top to bottom 1-41. I know that much :biggrin:

I'm a bit ADD, among other things, so it took me a second look. Already moved some favorites to the bottom. Tried the points box--seemed to be working ok for me.

About the score--it seems it's only the winning score, not both teams the way it was on the weekly yahoo tie-breaker picks?

I would not worry about this because it is only used as a tiebreaker and I do not think a tiebreaker has ever been used in any game that we have played on BP over the years.

I finally figured it out by clicking on the box and then moving it. I guess I just like the drag-and-drop feature on Yahoo.
