# Confidence Pool

> Rank your picks by confidence and score big on tournament matchups

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.

<Note>
  Confidence Pools are available during select tournament windows. Availability varies by event — check the **Events** tab in-app during tournament season.

## 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.
