I have for myself 10-27 -28.43...since I only lost 5 units yesterday...

As do I - just wish my effing fingers would co-operate with the mind.

Sparky says, "Fire it up!".

I think he wants to see some smoke rings.

I'm not surprised you're leading the pack - after all this is your contest and from what I've gathered how you wager while others are trying to adopt to your process for the contest.

Am I correct scores are reset after each round?

Guys - I think the tournament is moving very well as it seems everyone is following the proper rules etc. Im not monitoring each thread, so keep me informed if your opponent is mia, screwing up lines etc etc. suicide kings and i did discuss via pm that we would not carry over unit balances each round. instead we will start over at 60. i apologize, but it doesnt appear that we ever communicated that to everyone. what we will do to reward people with higher unit amounts is seed them vs the lower unit amounts (rather then follow the random draw i first posted)....so ie,

brandon laz has the most units at 85

peterpan has the least units (but won his match) at 40

that would be the 1 vs 8 seed for round 2.

hope your all cool with that structure.

• the contest will run month to month, with round 1 being from Monday 5/11 until Thur 6/11. 6/12 will be left open for tiebreaker games and setting up the next round - with the next round starting 6/13.
• ****Each player will have a starting bankroll of 60 units, and you must make a minimum of 50 plays for the round (no max). however, each day you can only play 15% of your starting bankroll for the day. ie, if you have 30 units going into a day, you may only wager 5 units (to win) for that day which can be broken up however you choose. The math comes out to 4.5 units (.15 x 30) but we will round up for any fraction > .50, and round down to the nearest unit for anything .49 or below. So if you are allowed 7.20 units coming into the day, you can play to win 7 units. 7.70 units – play to win 8 units. This will eliminate chasing, and will hopefully help us all use better proper money management techniques for our real world wagers.
• ****Since we have no official score keeper, it is up to you to keep track of your record AND your opponents. This will be our only obstacle for having a clean tourney, so pay attention to the following rules. Each day, both of the participants should be noting the results of the prior day, along with the net total bankroll (do it for your opponent as well so you have an extra pair of eyes). If its noticed that the results/lines etc from past days are incorrect, they can obviously should corrected at any time. However that will not have an affect on any units bet on games after that (the 15% daily limit). If the results from the prior day are posted correctly, however a player goes over the 15% limit for the day, the opponent (or any other sbr member) has until the next days first pitch to report the error. If reported in time, ALL BETS made that day are cancelled for the person who broke the 15% rule.
• all lines will be the opening consensus from sbr (far left), and plays must be posted 5 minutes before the start time of the first day game/night game (anything before 6:00 eastern is considered a day game) ie, if the first game is at 1:05 eastern, the plays for all afternoon games must be posted by NO LATER then 1pm. Night games will be considered anything that starts at 6pm eastern and forward. So for a normal night with 7:05 first pitch, those plays for all night game (including west coast) must be in by 7:00. a lot can happen in the first few at bats, so make sure these picks are in on time.
• all bets must be for the full game and can consist of moneyline, runlines or totals. No reverse run lines.
• we will be betting the team, not the pitcher - so a late scratch of the pitcher stands unless you cancel the bet prior to first pitch (here you can cancel a west coast game if your pitcher is scratched)
• ML = moneyline - RL = run line. When betting a total, make sure you assign the proper money line per SBR. On the totals, over/under section – you will see a total mentioned with a 2 moneylines next to it. The top moneyline is if you take the over, the bottom is if you take the under.
• If there happens to be a tie after 6/11 has concluded. Each player will have to make 5 picks on 6/12, all for 1 unit each. If that doesn’t end the tie, then the same thing the next day, and so on.
• Once down to 0 units, you are out of the match.

ie of a daily record update:

Monday 5/11: +5 units

Net: +65 units

ie of selections made:

Monday 5/11:

mets -1.5/+110 (2 units)
over redsox 10/-120 (5 units )

No where does it mention a re-seeding in the above original rules. You made brackets and now want to change how the contest is played while it's in progress. They don't re-seed the Men's NCAA Basketball Tournament after each round do they? If they don't fo it, why should it be done here?

Added Rule - if a game is called for rain (but if *official* after 5 inn) we will only count the side and not the total. the total is a push regardless if you're over got there, or if you're under lost.

*lets make sure to keep accurate records and post your updated record each day, as i will be doing an overall standings at the midway point on 5/25

You should have had that from the beginning but adding it as an in-progress contest was wrong.

I'm not surprised you're leading the pack - after all this is your contest and from what I've gathered how you wager while others are trying to adopt to your process for the contest.

Am I correct scores are reset after each round?

That was asked at least a couple weeks ago and remained without an answer until your changing of the rules again post yesterday.

Guys - I think the tournament is moving very well as it seems everyone is following the proper rules etc. Im not monitoring each thread, so keep me informed if your opponent is mia, screwing up lines etc etc. suicide kings and i did discuss via pm that we would not carry over unit balances each round. instead we will start over at 60. i apologize, but it doesnt appear that we ever communicated that to everyone. what we will do to reward people with higher unit amounts is seed them vs the lower unit amounts (rather then follow the random draw i first posted)....so ie,

peterpan has the least units (but won his match) at 40

that would be the 1 vs 8 seed for round 2.

There you go again changing the contest while it's in progress. Had you posted there would be re-seedings after each round, I'm 100% certain contest wagers would have been made differently.

I sent you a pair of PM's to which there was no response - other times you responded within minutes. You already declared peterpan the winner, yet this first round runs to June 11th. The original concept of the contest was acceptable. Changing how the game is played while in play, is not. I then therefore effectively and immediately withdraw from this contest based upon the principals I have. Congratulations peterpan on winning round one and good luck in round two.
