These Official Rules for Participation apply to the current Broadway Fandom Fantasy League ("BFFL") Awards Season unless separate written rules are published for a specific promotion, feature, or future season.
Before Tony nominations are announced, make up to five picks per category for who you think will be nominated. You can revise your picks until the nominees ballot locks.
Once nominations are announced, pick one winner per category and assign a confidence level. Higher confidence = bigger reward if you're right. Revise until the winners ballot locks.
Correct nominee picks, correct winners weighted by confidence, completion bonuses, and Spotlights bonus points all contribute to your leaderboard score. See How to Play for the full walkthrough.
If there is any conflict between How to Play and the Official Rules for Participation below, the Official Rules will control.
