Fantasy League Game Types

Advanced

Select a team of contestants each week and win (or lose!) points based on things they say or do, outlined in the rules below. You will set a new lineup for every episode, and you can choose the same contestants or mix it up each time. Picks will lock for each episode when the episode starts in Eastern Time.

First Impression

In a season-long challenge where picks are made just one time, choose the contestants you think will advance at each elimination ceremony all the way down to the winner. You will get to watch the first episode(s) of the season and gather your first impressions of the contestants. Brackets will lock for the entire season at the designated locking time, generally at the start of Episode 2. Score points for each correct pick, with the points earned equal to the elimination number (Ex: Elimination 1 = 1 point per correct pick, Elimination 2 = 2 points, etc.).

Week to Week

Select contestants who you believe will survive and advance through the upcoming elimination ceremony. You will make picks weekly for each ceremony. Score a uniform number of points for each correct pick, with the points earned equal to the elimination number (Ex: Elimination 1 = 1 point per correct pick, Elimination 2 = 2 points, etc.). Picks will lock for the next two ceremonies when each episode starts in Eastern Time. We always recommend making picks for the next two elimination ceremonies, in case an episode contains multiple elimination ceremonies. If a second elimination ceremony doesn’t occur, picks for the unscored ceremony will re-open after scores are published.

Confidence Pool

Week to Week, with a twist! Select contestants who you believe will survive and advance through the upcoming elimination ceremony. In addition, you will also assign point values to contestants based on how confident you are that they will NOT get eliminated at that ceremony. The higher the point value assigned, the more confident you are that they will advance. Score a varying number of points for each correct pick. Picks will lock for the next two ceremonies when each episode starts in Eastern Time. We always recommend making picks for the next two elimination ceremonies.
