I have finished and saved mine twice, with no success. Looks like I might be out already!
it shows your picks are in 16/16 games. I can't see what they are to confirm, but this whole thing is new so still figuring it out.

I had to just close out and open again. No clue what was up, but all good now.

I entered picks for all the games except today's (i was too late) and clicked <save>. It says "incomplete" under Status but i assume that's because i missed getting today's game in. Also, i wasn't sure if we were supposed to assign a "confidence" number to each pick so i did. I couldn't find rules explaining how that works though. Also, it never asked me for the password when i joined the group which seemed odd.

Thanks! I'm in but also joined too late to pick tonight's game. Also, I'm having a problem with Tiebreaker 2. There's no place to enter my picks.

Question: do the "Confidence Points" need to be filled in? Not sure what the purpose of that is.

Yes, the confidence points are how confident you are in each pick. If its Brady vs. the Texans it is 16 points. If its a coin flip in your mind then only 1 point. Most confidence points wins. Chad (daBronx) and I are winning because we both put 16 points on Brady last night.

So is the final outcome based on total cumulative points or on the best average position in each week's standings?

I was in a league like this for a decade. There was a prize for thee each of the 16 weekly winners and then for the top three finisher at the end of the season based on total points.

I don't have the answers, really. I wasn't sure how it worked so I picked the confidence thing as sort of a tie breaker, but then they put in ACTUAL tie breakers, so whatever. We'll figure it out, it's just for fun, until DT agrees to the prize money.

The confidence points are great because you have to use your brain a bit as opposed to just picking all the favs and being done with it.
