League Rules

The core format every Dawg of the Year league uses.

Week 6 of 18

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).

2.Each team once per category

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.

3.Two weekly deadlines

Early games lock Thursday night; the remaining slate locks Sunday at 1:00 PM ET. Picks can be edited until their group locks.

4.Fixed weekly spreads

The commissioner posts one spread for every game. Those league lines do not move after publication.

5.Private until locked

Only the player can see a pending pick. Commissioner and other players see it only after that game group locks.

6.Dawg of the Year

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.

7.Season tiebreakers

Largest winning underdog spread first, then total wins across all three categories.
