    Do all 15 picks have to be made before kick off of the 1st Bowl Game?

    All picks are submitted at once in one post.

    Let's keep the other thread clean of question(s), etc.

    Keep that stuff here.

    That should just be each team's entry and grading if SBR is doing that again throughout the games.

    The first 3 games on 12/21 are not on the list. Will they be added?

    Secret stash will take the place of ra77er on the team. Thanks.

    Yes. Just like last year it allows more time for new entries.

    So stupid that we can't pick the first four bowl games. No totals as it is, we might as well just flip a fukkin quarter for this thing.

    I'll make a large wager that 0 non-SBR controlled accounts sign up between 2 eastern and 8 eastern.

    Can you refund my solo entry please due to the fact that 2 of my five star plays were going to be from the 4 games that apparently aren't worthy of being part of this contest.

    People know when the bowl games start. You could set the deadline at any point in order to "gain more entries" but doing so after the games had already started just doesn't make any sense. If anything it's more confusing that the contest would begin midway through the first day of Bowl games.

    I can't imagine SBR would hold an "NFL Playoff" contest and then not allow posters to bet the first Saturday so they could gain more entries and then start the contest on Sunday, but that's essentially what's happening here.

    Was the exact same way last season too. But we already have plenty of teams so more teams are not really needed. Plus they had a month to prepare

    Also glad they didn't add totals. Keeping it the same was a good move it didn't need changed at all

    It's a fun contest and should be great again.

    Hopefully the same big prize winners too

    They should have cut sign-ups off December 18th when lines were released and done picks due by December 20th 11:59 PM so all the games are in, but they didn't.

    No use crying over spoiled milk. If you feel like you had an edge in one of the first 3 games, simply pick another game or drop out.

    SBR should of... but... I'd rather have more entries for the possibility of more prizes.

    Did SBR mean to show the teams and all picks already? Would of thought they would wait intel all teams posted there plays. guess it doesn't really matter that much.

    Yes. The contest is transparent and run through the forum. The format is a tribute to the late founder of MajorWager.

    Exactly. Also the deadline was posted from the beginning and never changed.

    Good luck gents.

    What does the deadline have to do with anything?

    Lots of contests you have here allow you to make picks BEFORE the entry deadline, not sure why this is different?

    You can set an 8pm deadline, but as long as you post your plays before any of the games kick... I fail to see why the first few games aren't included?

    And just to show you... You've already lost 1 entry due to this decision plus who knows how many others that didn't sign up.


    Sure hope you get at least that number of signups back between 2-8pm the very last day on a contest with a large entry fee that's been up for weeks (which you won't)


    *And can I get my 2,500 points for my solo entry sent back please.

    Wait, just to clarify because it's a little clustered reading posts and I'm tipsy......
    we make all of our picks before the first game? And they are all able to be seen by everyone all at once?

    So, you will likely see a barrage of entries right before the deadline.

    Don't think anyone ever said the deadline was changed, I knew what it was and chose to participate anyway. Bottom line is that it doesn't make any sense. It will still be a good contest and I appreciate it, this is just constructive criticism for making it better.
