How to Pick
For each game, choose ONE of four options: Favorite (to cover the spread), Underdog (to cover), Over (total points over the line), or Under (total points under the line). All picks lock when the first game tips off. 1 point per correct pick, 0 for a push.🔥 Lock of the Day (REQUIRED): You MUST pick your most confident game for Thursday and one for Friday. Correct Lock = +1 bonus pt (2 total). Wrong Lock = -1 pt. You must have a pick on the game first, then click the 🔥 button to lock it.
❄️ Ice (optional — sabotage): After picks lock, you get 2 Ices for the tournament. Target an opponent's specific game. If they're wrong, they get -1 extra. If they're right, you lose -1. First-come, first-served — once a game is Iced, nobody else can Ice it. Use them whenever you want: both Thursday, both Friday, or split.

Ice Rules
Each player gets 2 Ices for the tournament. Use them however you want — both Thursday, both Friday, one each day, or don't use them at all.
How it works: Target an opponent's specific game that hasn't tipped yet. Once a game is Iced, no one else can Ice it (first-come, first-served).
If the target is wrong: They get -1 extra penalty. You get nothing.
If the target is right: You lose -1 as punishment for a bad Ice.
Push: 0 for everyone. Ice is wasted.
Icing a Lock game: High stakes. If the target's Lock is wrong, they get -2 total (-1 Lock penalty + -1 Ice penalty). If their Lock is right, they get +2 and you lose -1.
