Scoring
Users receive 1 win for every correct matchup chosen, where the player they selected ended up with more points in the game than the other player they were head to head against.
If players in a matchup both score the same number of points in that matchup, the winner of that head to head matchup will be the player on the team that wins the game. For example, a head to head matchup:
Users are ranked in order of total wins throughout the season long contest period
Users are also ranked in order of longest win streak during each streak period
A “streak’ is defined by the correct number of guesses (wins) in a row, based on the order of the matchups being displayed on the website from top to bottom.
There are three streak periods:
Game Cancellations or Player Non-Participation:
If an entire game where a matchup is taking place is cancelled or rescheduled for ANY reason, it will be removed from the Head to Head results.
If a player in any of the matchups does not play in the game, they will be automatically subbed out for another player on their team. The player automatically subbed in will be the player on the same team with the next lower PPG (points per game average) on the same team, however the substitution is at the sole discretion of the NBA.
For example, Boston Celtics PPG averages (for example only):
If a player plays in the game for ANY length of time, but does not complete the game for ANY reason, they will NOT be subbed out for a replacement. It is possible this player finished with 0 points, but if they dress and play for the game, they will be used in the matchup.
