HOW TO PLAY IN PFLU
PFLU SMART PIKSHEET
Left to Right
The Smart Piksheet is a new and improved version of the original piksheet.
It now reads left to right instead of top to bottom.
No Drop-Down Boxes
All side games are now open on the page.
No more hidden drop-down boxes.
Submit at the Top
The Submit button is now located at the top of the page.
Weekly Tie Breaker
The Weekly Tie Breaker is now above all the games.
16 Weekly Games
All 16 weekly picks are preset to 1 point each.
This appears after you submit and also shows on Players’ Picks.
18 Points Per Week
The Season/Weekly Lock and Upset are each worth 1 point.
That gives every player a total of 18 points per week.
SMART PIKSHEET MEMORY
Your Picks Stay Saved
After you submit your picks, the Smart Piksheet remembers them and shows them in green.
You can make changes without submitting an entirely new piksheet. Just update the pick you want to change and hit Submit again.
SMART PIKSHEET EXAMPLE
PIKSHEET BREAKDOWN
First Column — Picks Section
The first column of the piksheet is called the Picks Section.
This is where players make their 16 weekly game picks.
By completing this section, you are automatically competing in several major contests.
Weekly Prize
Weekly prize contest across the PFLU season.
Season Standings
Your weekly picks count toward the season standings and Top 10%.
Perfekt Week
Your weekly picks also keep you alive for a perfect week.
Low Man Out
Weekly picks determine who survives and who gets eliminated.
Regular Season Champion
The strongest regular season player is crowned after the regular season.
Saturday Cutoff
A lot rides on your weekly picks. Make sure they are submitted before the Saturday Noon Cutoff.
SIDE GAMES SECTION
The Second Half of the Piksheet
The second half of the piksheet is called the Side Games Section.
These four contests are stand-alone games and are completely separate from the Weekly Picks.
The Season/Weekly Lock and Upset are unique because they count toward both the Weekly Contest and the Season Contest. With just one pick in each column, you are competing in two different contests.
Side Game #1 — Lock & Upset
Each week, select:
- 1 Lock
- 1 Upset
These picks count toward both the Weekly Lock & Upset Contest and the Season-Long Lock & Upset Contest.
This contest runs through the regular season and the first two weeks of bowl games.
Side Game #2 — Survivor
- Pick 1 team each week against the spread.
- You can use the same team multiple times.
- Win → advance to next week.
- Lose → eliminated.
Survivor I, Survivor II, and Survivor III each run until there is one winner.
Side Game #3 — MOV
- Pick 1 team each week.
- No duplicate picks during the season.
- Point spreads are not used.
Pick the team that wins by the biggest margin, but choose wisely — each team can only be used once all season.
Side Game #4 — High 5
Each week, pick exactly 5 games.
- 1 win = 1 point
- 2 wins = 3 points
- 3 wins = 5 points
- 4 wins = 7 points
- 5 wins = 10 points
This contest runs through the regular season.
