The other question is whether we want to do straight up or ATS?

I thought a confidence pool was a ranked pool where you assigned confidence level (ranked 1 to 20 or however many games there are) and you get points equal (or inverse) to your ranking for right answers.

I.e. if you are 100% confident Alabama beats Cincy and put it as your top rank of #1, you get 20 points for getting it right, 0 if wrong.

Whereas if you think Purdue vs Tennessee is a complete toss-up and you have no confidence in it, you rank it #20, and thus you only get 1 point if you're right, 0 if wrong.

If that's correct, then you ALWAYS do a confidence pool straight up.

Against the spread is fine for a pool, but that won't be something you rank for confidence. You just get 1 point for each correct call.

Correct, but I've played in confidence pools that used the spread. I'm fine either way, I just didn't want to make the call

I vote to go straight up with no point line if we are going to assign confidence points
