DRUNKEN FOOTBALL MASTER

2026 SEASON — DON'T GET UPSET, BET ON THE UPSET

How It Works

  1. Pick every game. Choose a winner in all of the week's matchups.
  2. Every team has a price. The best team in a division is worth 1 point. The worst is worth 4.
  3. You earn what you picked. Pick a winner, bank that team's value. Pick wrong, get nothing.
  4. Picks close at first kickoff. The whole week locks the moment the opening game starts — automatically.
  5. Scores post themselves. Results come straight from the live scoreboard as games end.

Why Upsets Win

Picking chalk is safe and nearly worthless. The whole game is knowing which bad team is about to steal one.

Pick the 1-seed, it wins1
Pick the 2-seed, it wins2
Pick the 3-seed, it wins3
Pick the worst team, it wins4

Go 4-for-4 on favourites and take 4 points. Hit two upsets and take 8. Half the accuracy, twice the score.

Playoffs & Super Bowl

The stakes climb when the field narrows:

  • Surviving teams are re-ranked 1 through 7.
  • The Super Bowl is worth 10 points per team.

Which means nobody is safe until the last whistle — a cold streak in January can still be erased in February.

The Pot

Everyone puts in $25 at the start of the season.

1st 60% of the pot + the Drunken Football Master Trophy
2nd 30% of the pot + the DFM Medallion
3rd 10% of the pot

Last place: the honour of buying yourself exactly one beer from your local grocery store, opening it, and drinking it alone as a memento of your achievement. 🍺
