What is the Head to Head Contest?
The NSPL's head to head contest is separate and outside of the main score predicting contest that has all the accuracy stats.
Observe the head to head roster and note your head to head team assignment. You must submit your score prediction on the game featuring your team AT LEAST 24 hours in advance. Submissions must be made by submitting your pick through 2nspl.com or posting your pick on the NSPL Facebook page.
NSPL will try to send out setups prior to each game but is not bound to do so in any way. Leaving a phone number and a best time to call will increase your chance of receiving a setup. A setup will contain details of what needs to happen for you to win your big game.
You will be pitting your score prediction each week against one scheduled opponent. If your assigned team is on a bye week then so are you. This may be subject to change.
If no pick is submitted then the game may be judged by NSPL as having been a forfeit.
If both picks are identical then another game will be assigned by the commissioner.
When the two predictions are compared one will be judged as being more accurate and therefore the winner. This is explained in the hierarchy below. NSPL's goal is to be fair and to simplify the rules where possible. These items are listed from most to least important.
A) Being the only one of the two opponents who predicted the exact score.
B) Being the only one of the two opponents who picked correctly straight up.
C) Being the only one of the two opponents who picked correctly vs. spread.
D) Margin Differential (Better prediction of the margin of victory)
E) Score Differential (Better prediction of the actual score earned by both teams)
If there is a tie, then the win goes to the home person.
OVERTIME RULE: Should the game go to overtime, all calculations regarding tests and requirements are out the window. If the two picks have differing predicted winners, sides of the spread, or predicted margins of victory (in that order) then a determination is made as to which way each side is leaning. All that needs to happen is for the team that you leaned towards to win the game. If both sides picked the same team by the same amount of points then the Overtime Rule is not in effect.
There are only 32 spots in this contest. Anyone may submit their desire to enter this contest. Submissions in excess of the 32 spots will be put on a waiting list and must make all the necessary picks for all the games until receiving one assigned team.
