Pick'em games are easy to play: Users try to pick the winning teams.  The college bowl schedule is an ideal option when you require a short-term promotion with a compact schedule of games. The bowl 'season' takes place over a month-long period beginning in mid-December and ending with the championship game in mid-January. All games are included in a single scoring period and, once the matchups are confirmed, games involving championship teams are added to the Picks page. This Pick'em game offers good bang for the buck during the traditional year-end holiday period when the focus is on football, food and family - not necessarily in that order! Get-togethers around the game are more fun when contest bragging rights are on the line. School rivalries make it all the more interesting! Look for our NFL Playoffs Pick'em Ready-Made Game, too! Noteworthy Game Defaults (customize as desired!) For any given game, the default deadline for users to make their pick is five minutes before kickoff. This way, users can make use of late-breaking injury information and analysis, if they'd like. Alternatively, you can create one firm deadline for all the games.  Users get one (1) point per correct pick of the winning team for all games played at neutral sites. For non- neutral sites, users get (2) points per correct pick of the winning team for the away team and (1) point for the home team. We display "pick percentages" once each game locks down, allowing users to see how popular their picks are. The final championship game serves as the Tiebreaker selection; visitors are asked to predict the total combined point total as a means of breaking ties for prize position(s).
