    I don't think it reads like this lk.

    You can only use a team once in the week. It doesn't matter how many runs they score.

But you can use that same team again in a following week. Correct?

    Example:
    Mon - I use let's say Boston, and they don't score 10+, on Tues(if they're playing) I can use them again? Correct?
    And keep using Boston all week if they don't score 10+, correct?
    But, IF Boston were to be used on Monday and they don't score 10+, and are used on let's say Tuesday and DO score 10+ - Now Boston can't be used again till the following Monday, correct?

    Basically there is no "once you use a team that scores 10+ runs, you can never use that team again" for the duration of the contest. Correct?


    And the tiebreaker is for the total hits in the game for BOTH teams combined, not just the total hits for the team chosen for that day, correct?
    No you pick teams DAILY and you cannot repeat same team during week (running Monday to Sunday). You can repeat same team once new week resets every Monday.

    OK - now I got it.

    I'll post a team daily and hope they score 10+ runs. And post a TB number.

    If I do something wrong it'll be pointed out to me.

    So you still eligible for end year prizes if you skip days, right? Not that anyone would want to miss a day but it happens.

    Correct, there is no minimum requirement for year-end or segment prizes since missing days is punishment enough for prizes based on cumulative points.

    Not sure what is so confusing?

    Cliff Notes
    1-Post a team and tiebreaker of total hits in that team's game daily. If the team scores 10 or more runs that day, you get the team's score added to your run score.

    2-The daily $100 BTC goes to the person that picked the team that scored the most runs that day (must be 10+) and won the tiebreaker. If tied in most runs and closest tiebreaker (TB could be over or under), earliest timestamp wins the BTC and all others that tied in both get a 100 Free Play.

    3-If more than one team ties for high score that day (must be 10+), the tiebreaker get applied to each team and the BTC gets split. So if Mets and Yankees each score 14 runs and are high for the day, BTC splits between Mets winner (after tiebreak) and Yankees winner (after TB).

    4-You cannot repeat same team during same week (Monday to Sunday)

    5-If no team scores 10+ in a day OR if nobody picked the team(s) scoring 10+ runs that day, there is no daily prize.


    Now are there any questions? Contest starts in 12 days so if someone does not understand, speak up now.

    I confused MYSELF here LOL so let me rephrase

    2-The daily $100 BTC goes to the person that had the highest contest score that day (must be 10+) and won the tiebreaker. If tied in high score and closest tiebreaker (TB could be over or under), earliest timestamp wins the BTC and all others that tied in both get a 100 Free Play.

    Reason for clarification is it is possible for team that scored the most run not being contest high score. i.e., Mets are high with 13, Yankees are second high with 12 and nobody had the Mets.

    So also amend first line if #3 to 3-If more than one team ties for high contest score that day...

    In theory your 1k must be worth 5k or so? I have a friend who is a computer science engineer. He can work miracles.

    You need a guy like that / pseudo engineer detective guy.

    Should have lost it when a bitcoin was only worth a 1000!

    A dumb question but just want to MAKE SURE. I work crazy hours, so if I post after midnight for that day (same day technically), we are all good correct? If I work really late I would miss out on a chance to pick the earlier games.

    Again, no big, gives me no edge but I just want to make sure. Thanks for the great contest!

    Yes that is fine. In fact, we will allow posting for the next day right after the final game of the current day starts.

    There is no penalty for missing days, you can play as many or as few days as you want. It is just that on days you skip, you obviously can't earn any points toward year-end or segment-end prizes.
