NCAA Football Scoring Rules
How is the scoring calculated for NCAA Football entries?
Common NCAA Football Scoring FAQs:
Rush + Rec TD refers to a player being the actual scorer. This includes a player who carries the ball into the end zone, catches a pass in the end zone, or otherwise possesses the ball in the end zone. It covers any touchdown type other than passing.
First TD Scorer is the player who scores the first touchdown of the game, not the first touchdown for their team. Each game has only one First TD Scorer, since there can only be one first touchdown per game.
Rush Attempts: The total number of times a player carries the ball on a running play. A lateral pass (not a forward pass) that a player then runs with counts as a rush attempt for the player who receives it, if the officials rule it a lateral. Kneel downs count as rush attempts. Sacks do not count as rush attempts for NFL entries. Sacks do count as rush attempts for NCAAFB entries.
Extra Points Made: The total number of PATs successfully converted by a kicker. Two point conversion attempts are excluded.
Field Goals Made: The total number of field goals successfully converted by a kicker. Extra point attempts are excluded. If no field goals are attempted, the pick settles as under.
Kicking Points: The total points scored by a kicker, where an extra point = 1 point and a field goal = 3 points. For example, 2 field goals and 3 extra points = 9 kicking points.
If a game is canceled, postponed, or has not started by 2:59 AM ET, the pick can be canceled and the entry refunded.
A game is considered "known" to be canceled or postponed once its status is updated by Chalkboard's Support team.
Cashout is available on Chalkboard entries prior to the start of the event. Once the event starts, the cashout option is no longer available. Cashout is only available on parlay-style entries, and cashout prices are calculated dynamically.
NOTE: Cashout is not available on every entry and may be temporarily unavailable at certain points in the game.
NOTE: If an entry is cashed out after a sufficient number of legs have settled, funds toward your play through requirement will not be considered satisfied. Any amount in excess of the play through requirement will be eligible for withdrawal or redemption.
Game Lines for NCAA Football are available on Chalkboard in SSP-approved states. Available markets include Total, Moneyline, and Spread.
Longest Reception (Rec) refers to the total yardage gained on a single reception. For example, a reception that gains 20 yards counts as a 20-yard longest reception.
Alternate lines are available on Football markets, providing more flexibility in your entries.
Does a two point conversion count as part of the drive?
No. Untimed downs such as two point conversions, extra points, and kickoffs do not count toward pick or drive-based settling.
Cumulative projections: Any projection joined by a plus (+) symbol combines those stats. For example, Rushing Yards + Receiving Yards combines both stats into one total.
Any stats, yards, or touchdowns accrued on special teams do not count toward any pick or projection.
