A tie-breaker will be explained when you receive your first entry form. Each weekly winner will receive a special prize! Photos of all weekly winners will be displayed at CZCC.

At the end of Week 18, all 18 weekly winners will be entered into a drawing. One winner will receive VIP seating and a $200 MWR Gift Card for themselves and 9 friends at Zama’s Super Bowl Party on February 15, 2027.

2. Cumulative Prizes

Your total weekly wins will be recorded throughout the 18-week challenge. Standings will be posted on the Gridiron Challenge Board at CZCC for everyone to view.

After Week 18, the top three players with the most wins will receive $200 MWR Gift Card for 1st Place, $100 MWR Gift Card for 2nd Place, and $50 MWR Gift Card for 3rd Place.

3. Playoff Contest

The Playoff Contest has two parts.

Playoff Picks: During Week 14, pick the 14 teams you think will make the playoffs. Once the playoff teams are determined, the participant with the most correct picks will win a $100 MWR Gift Card. A tie-breaker will be used if needed.

Playoff Games: Once the playoff teams are determined, pick the winner of each playoff game. The format will be the same as the regular season. Regular-season wins do not count toward the playoff contest.
