  6. How To Play.
    • Overview. Players are assigned a rating value based on their 2022-23 season performances and projected playoff performance. Entrants must select one player from each of the twelve (12) player groups to form a complete active roster. Some selections may include a team defense/special team instead of an individual player. Points are awarded following each pro football playoff game (see Scoring System below).
    • Positions. Player position eligibility and designation is determined by H2H and may be changed any time by H2H before the start of the Contest. H2H Football Pro Playoff Pick'em participants agree to accept these designations and understand the final position designations may be different than a player's on-field position after the start of the Contest.
    • Final Entry Deadline. All rosters will lock at the official start time of the last Wildcard game on Monday, January 16, 2023, with flexible trading procedures for each pro football game that begins before the final deadline (see "Flexible Trading" below), and must be submitted, received and recorded by H2H's computer by the scheduled lock time. We recommend that you finalize your player selections at least three (3) hours prior to the trading deadline. Selections submitted after the deadlines listed above are considered invalid. H2H's computer is the official time keeping device for this contest.
    • Confirmation Number. To ensure you have the correct roster in place, verify your new roster when you have completed trading and are presented with a confirmation number. If you exit the website or phone call with a Sports Agent without confirming your roster with a confirmation number, your last confirmed roster will be the roster that is scored.
    • Flexible Trading. Some games may be scheduled to be played prior to the Entry Deadline, such as pro football playoff games scheduled for Saturday, January 14th, 2023. In these situations, you have the ability to choose a player or team prior to the designated NFL start time. Any players on your roster from those teams playing at the designated start time will be locked on your roster. After the designated start time, you will be unable to pick up or drop players or teams from the game(s) that have started. For the remainder of the period, you will be limited to choose from teams that have not played prior to the designated final registration deadline.
  7. Scoring. From all eligible entries received, the winners will be determined based on their ability to use their skill and knowledge of Professional Football to accumulate the most points during the Contest Period.
