    Who's up for another Head to Head capping tournament?

    Those of you who have been with us a while can recall the old 64, 128, and 256 man capper tourneys.

    Would you play in one? What size / sports would you prefer?

    those were fun

    i'd play

    64 or 128

    256 seemed to take too long to fill and too many people didn't actually play

    10 plays

    Baseball definitely works well with the format. Keep the feedback coming.

    Basically with 128 posters enrolled, 64 first round matches get created. You must outscore your opponent in units by making X picks in X time (round length could be say a week). Winner advances to the next round against somebody else, and the field contracts all the way down until there's one man left standing.

    Thanks. that sounds fun. Going against one person is nice you don't have a huge field and know when you are screwed if you don't have a good start.

    also, it would be good to build this contest announcement release up, with the simultaneous release of a new "super hot" foreign female SBR employee.

    then make a big build up vid with original music and have an above average girl looking girl dressed in Jeans tell us the rules and format of the contest in a video.

    the 256 man baseball bracket contest was GREAT.

    128 would be fine though.

    Thanks .

    I won the 1st inaugural 128 man so I'm ready to defend.

    10 plays per week.
    1 optional 3x bet

    Would be in but prefer fewer plays (10-14). 2 plays a day is good. 30 plays means at least 4 plays a day which can be aggressive. Hockey should be in as well for sure.
