Confidence Pool

Confidence Pools let you rank every pick in a round by how certain you are — higher confidence on a correct pick means more points, but a wrong pick at the top hurts most.

​

How It Works

1. Pick winners for each matchup in the round
2. Assign confidence points — Give your most confident pick the highest number
3. Score — If your pick wins, you earn the confidence points you assigned
4. Highest round total wins

​

Scoring Example

If there are 8 games in a round:

• Assign 8 points to your most confident pick
• Assign 1 point to your least confident pick
• Each number (1–8) can only be used once

If your 8-point pick wins, you bank 8. If it loses, you bank 0 — and your 1-point toss-up might be what carries the round.

​

Strategy

• Stack high points on safe picks — Put your highest confidence on the surest things
• Low points on toss-ups — Save low numbers for games that could go either way
• Don’t chase upsets with high confidence — A wrong pick at 8 points hurts more than a wrong pick at 1

​

Weekly Scoring

Confidence pools score on a weekly basis during tournaments, with leaderboard rankings updated after each round of games.

Rewards

Each confidence pick earns 8 XP and 8 Pollen, regardless of outcome — making picks keeps you engaged and leveling up.
