Below are the formulas used to derive the scores in each category in the FPC:
Winning Average (WA) = # of winners predicted / # Games Played
Winning Point Average (WPA) = # winners by the spread / # games played
Exact Score Points (ESP) - The amount of points you get for predictiong a teams' score on the nose is based on the rarity of that score. The Following Point distributions apply for ESP:
| Score Predicted Correctly | # of ESP Points Awarded |
| 17, 21, 24, 27 | 3 |
| 7,10,13,14,16,20,23,28,31 | 5 |
| All other Scores | 7 |
Point differential Average (PDA) - This is a sliding scale. To compute your PDA, you must:
1. Calculate the total differential between your predictions and the actual scores
2. Divide your total differential from step 1 by the number of games played that week.
3. Take this number, which is your average PDA for the week and apply the table below to see your score:
| AVG PDA | 00-10 | 11 | 12 | 13 | 14 | 15 | 16 | 17 | 18 | 19 | 20 | 21 | 22 | 23 | 24 | 25 | 26 | 27 | 28 | 29 | 30+ |
| SCORE | 100 | 95 | 90 | 85 | 80 | 75 | 70 | 65 | 60 | 55 | 50 | 45 | 40 | 35 | 30 | 25 | 20 | 15 | 10 | 5 | 0 |
