    Why so much to first?? You should give more to 2nd and third and 4th places.

    I would pay first a max of 50%. 30% second and 10% 3rd and 4th

    Also can we start tonight I it fills up?

    We are just 9 short but it is 5:00 ET so tonight is a no-go at this point. I would keep start day Thursday to coincide with start of NFL week.

    Also, you still need to make those changes to NHL/MLB.

    You make pics, all major sports, 20 minimum 25 max each week. You go head to head against someone, if you win more dough than the other guy you win and advance. Its like the NCAA tourney. You win you get matched with another winner and start over.

    Every round is a clean slate, nothing carries over.

    What I gave are the defaults and this is actually Bigdaddy's contest. Any manual adjustments would have to be done by SBR and not sure they want to get involved in a regular pool. Not like the SBR Sponsored contests that I set up (the Bet365 ones) where we assign the prize structures ourselves.

    And I see settings have been fixed, we will be ready to roll when it fills with no more adjustments needed.

    Bigdaddy, I would go ahead and set start date to Thursday, December 18 right now. If by some miracle it does not fill, you can always push that date back on your end. Set end date to Wednesday, January 28. Turns out MLB is unnecessary.

    That's just it, I CAN'T. The system will automatically pay out based on the defaults, and in order to adjust to the proposed percentages, I would have to take away points from the winner after he is paid by system and I do not have that power, would have to be done by higher-up. And they do not want to get involved with straight pool contests.

    Now I have never set up sponsored bracket contests before where SBR could set the prizes, but if I can I will look into it for the future.

    OK so I ran a test and yes we can set up payouts however we want for sponsored contests. Unfortunately it is too late for this one but next time you want to do a new one let me know and I will set it up myself with unique parameters. That can only be done at set-up which is why it is too late, and I doubt anybody would want to scrap this with 125 in and start over.

    My bad, end date of February 4th is correct, this is a 7-week contest.

    Just want to make sure I have the rules read properly....

    We make min 20 wagers or max 25 wagers in 7 days?

    We must make 3 Best Bet wagers in those 7 days?

    Is that it?

    Correct, first round ends Wednesday the 24th. You then compare units with your opponent, winner moves on, loser is out.

    Well get ready for these quotes on Monday.
    " I went 7-1 and was up +9.45. How come I did not advance?"
    There's going to be a massave amount of picks on the NFL today or people don't realize they need to make at least 20 picks.

    Yeah I forced a bunch of NFL picks yesterday because I couldn't get in Saturday. Gonna be betting NHL like a madman next three days. Whatever was going on with the site, I hope it's fixed.
