Games

DiploBall includes, both, NCAA and NFL games in a combined Pick ‘Em format.  The season lasts 22 weeks, starting with the first week of NCAA regular season and continuing through the NFL regular season, NCAA conference championships and bowl games, NFL playoffs and Super Bowl.

Scoring

DiploBall is not merely about picking games correct.  It is about being confident in your picks. 

DiploBall uses a confidence based (Jeopardy style) scoring system. Essentially, players assign a point value to each game based on how confident they are in their pick to win.  The higher the value the more confident the players are and vice versa.   When a player picks the winner correct, they will receive the number of confidence points they assigned to that game, however, if they guess incorrectly, they will lose those points.

Picks

You can make your picks any time before a games kick off.  Each game has a different kick off time, so if, for some reason, you forget to make picks and miss a game or two, don’t worry, you’re still eligible to make picks for the remaining games that week.
