Contest Rules








How to play

  • Log in at www.umalumni.com each week and select the winner of each game involving teams ranked in AP Top 25 Poll. Remember, you're picking the winner of the game straight up, without considering point spreads.
  • Each game will be assigned a certain point value. Point values go up by 5 points every two weeks (5 points per correct selection in weeks 1 and 2, 10 points in weeks 3 and 4, and so on. Michigan football games are always worth 5 additional points.)
  • The per-game point values will increase as the season progresses, and, of course, games involving the University of Michigan will be worth more points!
  • Select your "Rout of the Week" and the point differential between the two teams will be added to your score.
  • You can choose winners or change your selections for any game right up until game time, at which time you can no longer make changes to that game (but you can continue to change your selections for other games that have not started).
  • The player with the highest point total each week will win the weekly prize (in the event of a tie, one winner will be chosen at random).
  • Weekly point totals will be accumulated and at the end of the season (not including bowl games), the player with the highest overall point total will win the grand prize, your choice of:
    • Two season tickets to U-M's 2009 home games
    • An exclusive U-M football weekend for two, featuring air, hotel accommodations, two tailgate tickets and two game tickets to any 2009 U-M regular-season road game.
