Why?
ATS scoring is designed to grade picks using standard betting spreads, which include half-point values (ex: -3.5, +7.5). These “hook” spreads prevent pushes and ensure each pick results in either a win or a loss.
Because of how ATS grading works:
Hook spreads are required
They cannot be disabled
There is no override setting available
If you prefer to allow whole-number spreads (which can result in pushes), you would need to use a different scoring format instead of ATS.
If you’re unsure which scoring format is best for your contest, feel free to contact Support, and we’re happy to help.
