    ESPN College pickem contest,

    This message is from ttwarrior1 who is challenging you to play College Pick'em on ESPN.com.

    This game challenges you to select the winner of 10 selected games for 14 weeks during the NCAA football season using a confidence scoring system. You receive the amount of confidence points you assigned to each game, but only if you correctly selected the winning team. Best of all, it's FREE to play.

    Get in the action now:

    Group: SBR


    10 point entry, send the pts to me, then i send to Lou, send in this thread. There will be many contest so i figure to make
    this one simple and a low entry and to get alot of people in.
    Scoring. Each week during the Promotion Period, entrants will select the winners of ten (10) Saturday U.S. college football games. In addition, entrants will be required to assign each game a "confidence point" value between one (1) and ten (10). The higher the confidence point number you assign to a particular game, the more confident you are that the team you have selected will win the match-up. Each confidence point number (the whole values one [1] through ten [10]) must be used each Week. Points will only be received for correctly selecting a winning team. Entrants do not receive or lose points for incorrect picks. Entrants accumulate points from the date of their first winning pick. Entrants who begin participation after the start of the Promotion Period has begun will not receive points for the week(s) they have missed. In the event the scheduled U.S. college football games listed do not occur as scheduled (e.g., the game is cancelled, postponed, etc.) no points will be awarded. Ties will be broken in accordance with the tie-breaker procedure below.


    Espn prizes
    PRIZES. The approximate retail value ("ARV") of all prizes is $4,680. Odds of winning prizes depend on the total number of eligible entries received and the relative college football knowledge of all entrants.

    • One (1) Overall Prize Winner - The eligible entrant who accumulates the most season-long points, and wins any pending tiebreaker wins a $2,000 Best Buy gift card. (ARV $2,000.00)
    • One (1) Overall Runner-Up Prize Winner - The eligible entrant who accumulates the second most season-long points, and wins any pending tiebreaker wins a $1,000 Best Buy gift card. (ARV $1,000.00)
    • Fourteen (14) Weekly Winner Prizes - The eligible entrant that finishes with the most points each of the 14 weeks of the Promotion (and wins any tie breakers) will win an ESPN College Football Prize Pack. (ARV $120.00 per)TOTAL ARV for All Prizes: $4,680.00

    Do you have "Sticky" permissions TT?

    If you do, you should "Sticky" the contest threads to the top of the Fantasy Forum.

    If you don't, get a Mod to do it. So it is easy to find, and so the threads don't get buried.

    Just a suggestion.

    But I think it wouldn't matter if there were too many. Those contest will be the main reason people are visiting the Fantasy forum. It would be more organized.

    A little scroll wouldn't hurt to find the other threads so we can ask and answer fantasy questions.
