How Points are Earned

How to win big

Selection Description Scoring
Overall Winner The overall winner is the single contestant or team that is the final champion for that season. Episode Points:
You will earn 100 points for every episode that your choice for overall winner IS NOT eliminated.

Bonus Points:
If your selection for overall winner is the ultimate champion of the show, you will earn 1,000 bonus points.**

** In order to qualify to receive overall winner bonus points, you have to make your selection before the "bonus cutoff". The "bonus cutoff" is typically the halfway point of the season, and will be posted on the league pages.

Episode Winners and Losers The single contestant or team that is designated the winner or loser of each episode.

Episode Winner is the contestant or team that is designated as the winner. Winning an episode usually means winning the episode challenge.
Some shows do not have Episode Winners (read scoring examples).

Episode Loser is the contestant or team that is eliminated.

You will be able to make choices for both Episode Winner and Episode Loser before each episode.

Episode Winner Points:
You will earn 10 points times the number of contestants on the show at the beginning of the episode if your selection for Episode Winner wins that episode.

Episode Loser Points:
You will earn 10 points times the number of contestants on the show at the beginning of the episode if your selection for Episode Loser is eliminated that episode.**

** For shows that do not have episode winners, you will earn 20 points times the number of contestants at the beginning of the episode as opposed to just 10 times the number of contestants.
