Pool eligibility
NCAA Basketball Pick'em is a Pools product and all participants must be 18 or older.
Eligible games
The weekly slate includes games involving at least one team in the applicable AP Top 25 snapshot. A ranked-versus-ranked matchup is included like any other eligible game.
Weekly ranking snapshot
The platform uses the AP Top 25 available for that scoring week's slate. The published slate is not rewritten merely because a later ranking changes.

Participants pick the straight-up winner of every eligible game. A correct pick earns 1 point and an incorrect pick earns 0 points.
Lock
Each pick locks at that game's scheduled tipoff.
