    Trying to cut down on ties, which is also why I added an extra Best Bet.

    Tier picks like you would a college bowl pick em. If you have 7 picks, you get 7 units for your best bet, 6 for your 2nd and so on. Not sure if you can do that or not but it would cut down on ties

    Nice thought but can't be done as far as I know. I believe all you can do is set the range, but you can't limit each unit-size to just one play each.
