Maybe we get some side betting going on for this , since we aren't starting until monday.

Tried to mess around w/ different bracket software but it was copying right to SBR.

The numbers mean nothing, just randomly seeded the tournament.

Will send Pm's out to all after this post.

1) konck vs 16) SomeDayinBuffalo

8) numismatist vs 9) trytrytry

5) Louisvillekid1 vs 12) tto827

4) shaunovery vs 13) runner5k



6) yisman vs 11) Footballtime

3) RudyRuetigger vs 14) Mikeyanks23

7) InTheDrink vs 10) playersonly69

2) Duff85 vs 15) Erock87



I'm thinking we will make a thread for each matchup so we don't clog up one thread.

Any thoughts are welcomed,

Remember once you're opponent plays a side or total, you can not pick or go against that side or total

Tie Breaker will be action points...

[Mikeyanks23]

dont bury me rudy

[Louisvillekid1]

I was just thinking could we get a neutral party to post lines, because by me posting the lines the night b4, i have first chance to post any plays i like right after b4 my opponent.

Just want it to be fair that's all...

[shaunovery]

Gl all

[Erock87]

GL Duff85!

[Louisvillekid1]

Contest Starts Monday February 18th.

Each Round will last one week (Monday - Sunday)

Must make 15 and ONLY 15 plays each week.

Sides and Totals are accepted!

ALL plays will be 1.1 to win 1 unit

Will use SBR Overnight lines (all plays will be -110, even if listed differently)

Any EDIT's will result in a loss!

Once you're opponent makes a selection you can not pick or go against that play.

Deadline for plays will be before the listed OFF time of selected game.

Tie breakers will be total amount of action points during the week.

[trytrytry]

Do you mean LISTED OFF time?

Deadline for plays will be before the tip of selected game.

also any requirements on how the play is made? like do you need a rotation number? or just list the team name or abbreviation? do you have to list the number you see? anyone going to get in trouble and lose points if they just say

Gophers

[Louisvillekid1]

fixed

[shaunovery]

Will someone post up the overnight lines in this thread

[Erock87]

I like the idea of each match-up getting their own thread to make it easier to decipher. My only concern would be clogging up the entire PTs forum with it.

Maybe we just make two separate forums, one for the "North" part of the bracket, and one for the "South" part of the bracket? Or again, we could post all in here.

I don't see a problem w/ this either way...

I was thinking we'd use the betpoints forum for this...

PLus after the first week we will be down to 4 threads, then 2, etc...

Separate threads will be easier for me to monitor as well

[Louisvillekid1]

All the rules will be posted at top of each thread when we begin.

[playersonly69]

You could probably pay propicker a flat fee of 5 points per day to post the lines. He would get paid weekly. I guess for the second round, we could have one of losers to post the lines everyday. Those points would come from 1st place money

[Mikeyanks23]

if anything u can post the lines when they come out and no1 can make a pick til say 6 am or something.

i agree with try. if you get to the finals someone else can post.

[playersonly69]

Why dont we just use current lines at 5dimes when we make our picks?

It is very easy to check if the lines were correct or not.

By PTs I meant Points, haha (I now see how someone could confuse this for Players Talk).

Either way sounds good to me - looking forward to it!

[numismatist]

No fair..

trytrytry got the easiest opponent.

[shaunovery]

Think yis will be tough to best

[runner5k]

I want to wager that the winner will come from the number 1-8 seed

[playersonly69]

Early lines are out!!


Odds to win it all


trytrytry +250
yisman +275
knock +600
PO69 +1050
Rudy +800
Lkid +500 (certainly he wont forget about his own contest)
FBtime +2000 (plays yisman round 1, might as well quit now)
numismatist +2200 (plays trytrytry round 1, Faaagetaboutit)
Someday +8950
IntheDrink +600 (plays me first round, a virtual bye)
runner5k +700
shaunovery +1000 (tough first round match)
tto827 +1350 (plays Lkid1 first round)
mikeyanks +950
duff85 +600 ( a certain diamond in the rough)
erock +800 (might get a bye in the second round versus me, all he needs to do is somehow beat duff)




trytrytry and yisman get real high odds because we know damn well that they wont forget to pick all 15 picks. Also, they would probably win anyway even without defaults of their opponents

[playersonly69]

I want to wager that the winner will come from the number 1-8 seed

The odds of the winner coming from 1-8 would be like -300 if only trytrytry were in the top 8.

Without trytrytry, the odds on the top 8 move down to around -160

[trytrytry]

PO those lines are a joke..way to low on all..but some funny banter in there..

[Erock87]

I like how I'm mentioned twice!

[playersonly69]

Odds might be too high on you and yisman

[Duff85]

GL Duff85!

Should be fun!

BOL sir. Been looking forward to playing in one of these head to head format contests and always enjoy when LKid puts together a contest because they are usually fun and have some quirks.

[trytrytry]

im not sold on this blanket statement!

Lkid +500 (certainly he wont forget about his own contest)

[playersonly69]

trytrytry,

You and yisman are like FEDERER and NADAL! You being Federer! We all really dont stand a chance if you guys dont get injured

[tto827]

You mean like Tsonga yesterday you sonofa bitch

[shaunovery]

Someone lay me +1200 that I win it want 2k on it

[Footballtime]

So this is just full games totals and spreads correct? Just college hoops and once again only full game plays (Sides and Totals) right?

[Erock87]

Someone lay me +1200 that I win it want 2k on it

I'll take that!

If you win...it will probably take me a year to pay you...
