Rules for 2025-26 NFL GTS Contest

[cjs-sportscards]

Some of our SCFers know how our other GTS games work but for our new members, here are the rules and tiebreakers, all in one post.

On select days an SCF staffer (usually yours truly) will pick one or more games where you can attempt to guess the score and win some SCF Reward Points. This game is free to play. All members and staff are eligible to play.

SCF GTS Football Rules

1) Post the correct winning team and the score to win. A correct score wins the game; if no participant correctly guesses the score, the format used below will be used to determine the daily winner. Posts may be edited but not after the deadline. Posts edited after the deadline will be disqualified. Valid reasons include (but are not limited to):

• My guess was already posted previously by another member (someone posted the same guess 2 seconds before I did--drat!)
• I made a typo (I meant to type 35, not 99--darn keyboard!)
• I put the wrong team (Why did I think Colorado would be playing Golden State?)

2) Guesses must be posted by the stated deadline (all posts are time stamped). For example, if the deadline is 8:00 pm Eastern, then any guess posted at 8:01 pm Eastern or after will be void.

3) Only one guess per member.

4) Only members in good standing may enter.

5) Tiebreakers - to be used when no member guesses the score.
Determining factor - Actual score of the game, with the correct winner

• Tiebreaker #1 - Exact score of winner with the correct winner
• Tiebreaker #2 - Exact score of loser with the correct winner
• Tiebreaker #3 - Correct margin of victory, with the correct winner
• Tiebreaker #4 - Closest score of winner, with the correct winner, without going over
• Tiebreaker #5 - Closest score of loser, with the correct winner, without going over
• Tiebreaker #6 - Closest score of winner, with the correct winner, while going over
• Tiebreaker #7 - Closest score of loser, with the correct winner, while going over
• Tiebreaker #8 - Exact tie score (either team), without going over
• Tiebreaker #9 - Closest tie score (either team), without going over

Also, if this seems confusing you can go to the Baseball Contest forum and see past GTS games and see how the winner is determined as you may have multiple tiebreakers to determine the actual winner. If you have any questions, please let me know.

For each game contest 25RPs is the prize for each GTS win. If you are to predict the exact score, you will earn a bonus of 75RPs (for a total of 100 RPs for that game).

We are having discussions with the mods to see if we can have an additional prize for the overall winner for the regular season......Good luck!

If there is enough interest we will have a separate GTS Contest for the Playoffs.

And as I always as with the GTS Baseball contests always double check my scoring as mistakes do happen and if you think I am incorrect, please reach out so I can double check.

Is it too late to join this contest? I just seen this post, I didn’t think we was going to have one. I haven’t seen one in quite awhile. Thanks for brining it back.
