    BOWL CONTEST II -- for those left out & others

    Miss out on the SBR Bowl Contest?

    We will run another one here.

    Unlimited Teams & Entries

    prize breakdown of:

    1st: 55% of prize pool
    2nd: 25% of prize pool
    3rd: 15% of prize pool
    last: 5% of prize pool

    Buy-in: 1,000 pts

    Deadline to enter: Saturday, Dec 16 at 12PM ET.


    ---------------------------------------------------------------

    Contest rules

    *** Each entry picks 15 sides from lines posted in an official thread on Wednesday, December 13. Lines will not change. Pick denominations will be: Five 3*'s, Five 2*'s, Five 1*'s.

    *** All players MUST enter a 16th and final pick on the Championship game. The pick denomination will be 4*. An official PM collecting the 16th pick will be sent Tuesday, January 2. The final pick is due by Friday January 5 at 11:59PM ET.

    *** If two or more teams are tied, the most # of 3* wins is the tiebreaker. If still tied, prizes split.

    *** Pushes will return half of your bet. For example, if USC (-3) wins by 3, and they were a 2* play, you receive 1 star.

    why not just use sbrcontests for easier tracking and point posting?

    (by the way, that isn't a smartass comment...im just wondering)

    for the same reasons that sbr does not use the contests section. this is a different type of contest than the regular contests. some of the reasons:


    *** there is one fixed line for all the bowl games. in the contest section the lines are constantly changing.

    *** in the contest section they offer all of the bowl games including tier II. we have only the top 15 games to pick.

    *** sbr contests uses units won, based on the line. we use weighted (2*3*4*)
    star picks as scoring. cannot do that in contests section.

    ***payouts are fixed and different in sbr contests. they cannot be changed.

    I'll split a team with someone and you can make all the selections?

    I'm picking for my team and the group team in the other so I don't really want to pick for this one.

    4. you could just send to OP and make it a free contest, but yea many idiots would join without sending to you in first post

    ok thanks, i just wondered

    seems reasonable

    I'll be up for the next 12 hours handicapping the games for the main contest after spending the last 24 hours on the road, so may as well submit an entry here as well.

    Same deadline as SBR Contest? Unlimited entries, meaning I can pay 5 times and make 5 sets of selections?
