Each week's pick % is the share of the entries still playing that week, so the season figure is those weekly survival rates multiplied together. A tie counts as an elimination, which is the standard pool rule. Weeks you entered in the pick % file are measured; weeks left blank are projected from the closing lines, and a projection can only say the field was on whoever the odds liked.

What these numbers mean

Costs you — how much of your best remaining season you spend by using this team now. It compares the best run of picks you could still make with the best one left after this team is gone, so a team is only expensive if a later week genuinely needs them and has nobody else. The three weeks listed on each row are what that number is made of.

Field edge — what share of the prize you expect to hold, against what an average entry holds. 1.00x is average. It counts the fact that everyone who picks the same team survives with you, so the popular team is worth less than its win % suggests and a quiet one is worth more. It needs a pick % to mean anything, and it is one week, not the season.

Pick % is the share of the field on each team, and the line above the board says where this week's came from. A week entered in the pick % file is used as entered; a week left blank is projected from the odds. Either way you can type over any of it with what your own pool is doing. A projection built from the odds can only re-rank what the odds already ranked — it cannot tell you the field is wrong about somebody. Real numbers can, which is the only reason the file exists.

Used — the share of entries still alive that have already picked this team in an earlier week, from the same pick % and results as the field numbers under the season path. Only survivors count: a team that lost took its pickers out with it. A high number means your remaining rivals cannot take that team again, so saving them for later is worth more to you than to the field.
