Welcome Back! The Pick-N-Win Game for the 2010 Outdoor Season begins today!

Check out the new features for the 2010 Pick-N-Win Game!

  • New Primary Picks & Backup Picks: Frustrated when an athlete you pick scratches at the last minute and causes you to get zero points?! Now, you can create a backup team that allows you to still possibly score points if your primary pick has no result. For instance, if you pick Jenn Suhr as your primary pick and Chelsea Johnson as your back up pick in the women’s pole vault but because Jenn Suhr gets injured and pulls out of competition, then the new scoring system would count Chelsea Johnson’s place (assuming she placed in the top six).
  •   Note, common examples of a “no result” occur when an athlete:
    •  scratches
    • does not finish the race
    • no heights
    • fouls out
    • is disqualified
  •  NEW Tabs – Easily keep track of your picks with the following tabs on your Pick-N-Win page:
    •  My Picks – see who you have selected for your primary and backup teams as well as make changes before the deadline
    •  My Friends – add your friends (or your enemies) to this page and see how your scores compare
    • My Score – conveniently see all your scores for all your picks in every weekly game
    • My Profile – enjoy quick access to a private page (only viewable to you) with your team name, email address, and other information so you can change details as needed  
    • Leaderboard – get the full cumulative standings so you can see how close you come to winning the Grand Prize of a $2,000 Visa Gift Card!
