SCORING_RULES

1 point — correct game winner (this is what the leaderboard tracks)
O/U picks — marked correct/incorrect each week (when a total line is set), but don't add to your season score
0 points — wrong winner pick, push, or no pick
Season champion — highest correct-pick % on winner picks at end of regular season (min 50% of games picked)

The Professor picks every game's winner — that's his record and the benchmark. Beat him for the week and you'll hear about it in the newsletter. Beat him for the season and you get a very embarrassing trophy.
