Here's the First Round CFP Entry form
Welcome,
This is our annual College Football Bowls game. At one time many of us worked together in the same building, Bldg 578 at Brooks AFB, and the pic above is an official 578 PMS event. Yes, this is December in south Texas with Millhouse and Pup discussing the Bowls. Now the building has been leveled and our players have scattered. We keep our game going to continue those friendships and to make new ones. If you have friends to invite, forward the website and give them your name (they'll need it to enter).
Check out the Rules, Fees, & Awards below to see how our game is organized. We sometimes revise things so even if you are a long time player it's good to go over the rules again. The number and amount of awards will be set once we know how many players we have. The "Awards Table" sheet will show how many entries we currently have.

SCORING & RANKINGS:
If your picks wins, you receive the associated points. The points are based on the spread, money line and Sagarin rating. The points are then weighted, with the Championship by 4x, the semifinals by 3x, the quarterfinals by 2x, and the remainder by 1x.
Player rankings are based on total points.
Ties in ranking that affect an award will use the tie-breaker points to determine the final ranking. The player with the tie-breaker points closest to the actual total will win. If players are an equal number of points away from the total points scored, UNDER the total takes precedence.
ENTRY FEE IS $25. Follow the link in the form/receipt for payment methods.
Awards are 100% of all entry fees, there is no house cut.
The number of awards is based on the number of entry fees received, normally, 1st - 5th and LowMan with sufficient players.
The LowMan award is given to the player with the least points. LowMan award is ONE entrance fee. Entries missing a pick are ineligible. The tie-breaker rule applies if needed.
The League's intent is never to split awards. In the unlikely event of an absolute tie for first place, the first and second place payouts are combined and split evenly. The same process applies to the lower awards if applicable.
