Round Structure
Rules
- All rounds will run from Saturday to Thursday. Fridays are the off day where the new round matches are put up.
- All rounds will have a minimum 8 picks, maximum 12.
- If you make less than the minimum amount of 8, one unit will be subtracted from your record for each missing pick. If you make over the max of 12, excess plays will be no actioned without a unit penalty.
Rules
- Sides and totals for: NFL/NCAAF, NBA/NCAAB. Full game only, no halves/moneylines/quarters will be offered.
- Picks are 'to win' one unit on favorites, 'risk one' on dogs.
- Contestants must use the plays listed in the Daily Lines thread. Lines for Pro Football/NCAA Football will be posted during the week when all lines are available in a thread titled "Daily Weekend Lines". Basketball lines will be posted overnight and the day of game day up to 4PM EST.
- Once you make a pick in your head-to-head match up thread, it is official and cannot be canceled under any circumstance, no exceptions will be made.
- You may "fade" or pick the opposite selection to your opponent, but you may not play the exact same side or total. You may also not play both sides to your own game to minimize losses to juice.
- Any past posted plays will NOT be counted. If the scheduled start time per the Daily Lines thread is 7:30, any plays at 7:31 will be disregarded. Plays at 7:30 will stand. All times listed in the Daily Lines thread are EST.
- The Handicapping Contests subforum automatically prevents any user from 'editing' posts, but in the event of a rare software glitch, any picks posts that are edited will incur a 1.50 unit penalty and count as a loss on their record.
- In the event of a cancellation due to act of God, weather, or other forfeiture we will simply not count the pick and consider it no action. If you are one short of your required number of plays and it is on the last day of the tournament and NO other games are available to be selected, we will not enforce a one unit penalty.
Congrats on the win, frost.
