- Picks for each game will lock at the scheduled tip off time. If a pick is not made by the scheduled tip off time, the favorite team will automatically be selected.
- Underdogs are worth higher point values. The bigger the underdog in the matchup, the more points you can earn. Point values for each pick will be displayed next to the team name on the Picks Page.
