How it works
The entrant coming closest to the correct answer gets FIVE points. Second best gets 4 points, 3rd gets 3, 4th gets 2 and 5th gets a point. If there is a tie, say for 1st and second, the two entrants would split 9 points and get 4 1/2 each. If there is a 3 way tie, say 2nd, 3rd and 4th, the 3 entrants would split 9 points and get 3 each. The only exception would be a multiple tie covering at least 3 persons in 5th place. Then, each gets a half point regardless of how many of them there are. Example 3 people tie for 5th place. They each get half a point.

Here is where we have something that adds up during the season. You select the division leaders for each of the 6 divisions at the end of each month (April, May, June, July, August, September). The same 5-4-3-2-1 scoring will be used based on who has the most correct leaders. In the event of two teams being tied for the lead, either will count as a correct prediction.
This is 15 points per month or (15 x 6 = 90) for the duration.
That is a grand total of 1590 points for the contestants to fight over.
