Additionally, you should complete the tie-breaker questions, in the event the Challenge ends with a tie. Not completing the tie-breaker questions will result in your entry being disqualified from participating in the tie-break, if one is needed. To complete the tie-breaker questions you need to predict the team that will winner (without the winning margin) and the final combined score for one (1) game, selected by CBSI, at its sole discretion, identified as of the "College Football National Championship Game," and must hit the 'save tie-breaker' button to save such score.

Scoring

Participants must select the team that will beat the Winning Margin in order to make a correct pick. A team will be considered to beat the Winning Margin in the following instances: the favorite team's actual score minus the Winning Margin exceeds the underdog's score; OR the underdog's actual score plus the winning margin exceeds the favorite's score. Eligible participants who correctly select the most teams that beat the Winning Margin in the Challenge may win the Prize (as set forth in the Prize section below) in accordance with these Official Rules. "Winning Margins" will be set by the Administrator once the teams for the College Bowl Games are announced. Once the Winning Margins are announced, such Winning Margins will not change for the duration of the Challenge.
