1.Three picks a week
Pick an outright winner (2 pts), a team to cover (3 pts), and an underdog to win outright (spread + 2, capped at 12).
The core format every Dawg of the Year league uses.
Pick an outright winner (2 pts), a team to cover (3 pts), and an underdog to win outright (spread + 2, capped at 12).
A team can only be selected once all season in each category. Your one DOTY pick may reuse a team already selected in the underdog category. Unavailable options remain visible but disabled.
Early games lock Thursday night; the remaining slate locks Sunday at 1:00 PM ET. Picks can be edited until their group locks.
The commissioner posts one spread for every game. Those league lines do not move after publication.
Only the player can see a pending pick. Commissioner and other players see it only after that game group locks.
Once per season, designate your underdog as DOTY. A winning DOTY scores double, and the DOTY may reuse a team already selected in the underdog category.
Largest winning underdog spread first, then total wins across all three categories.
