Make your pick. Climb the standings. Take the pot.

Say it's Sunday and you like the Ravens to beat the Browns comfortably, so you take Ravens −6.5 for 1 unit. The moment you lock it, it's yours — nobody else in the group can take the Ravens' spread in that game. Baltimore wins by 10 and your pick hits: you gain units and climb the standings. They win by 3, or lose outright, and it misses — you drop the unit. That's the whole loop: one pick, auto-graded on the real line, win or lose on the final score.

Units are the scoreboard, not dollars. Your $50 buy-in is the only money you ever put up — it doesn't change whether a pick wins or loses, and you're never wagering game to game. The pot is everyone's buy-ins, and the final standings decide who takes it.

Lock in one pick per day — that's the ceiling. You're never required to play daily, but you can.
