    To avoid disputes, the terms are we have to receive the betpoints directly from the team members who are splitting. You sent us 2,500 directly so we listed you as a solo entry. If you want to give franklee168 half of your entry, he should send us 1,250.

    According to this post the last 3 spots are for Solo entries only right? As of the moment i posted the OP has mpaschal34 as the 79th spot, and alta + blackbart signed up as a team after which I'm guessing doesn't count because of the solo entry rule. Let me know if i managed to sneak in and if not, no worries and just return the points.

    I did show interest when this first became full-- in the future maybe it's worth giving those who posted and said they missed the original 70 a priority for a few days to see if they check back and get to join? Regardless of whether or not I get in now, i would've missed it if i didn't check the forum today and it feels a bit unfair given I (and probably others) had shown interest very soon after the original's 70th spot was filled up.

    Either way, amazing contest as usual and good luck to everyone!

    Yes you're correct, the extra space provisioned was for solo entries only. You are the 80th and final entry.

    Alta and blackbart have been refunded.

    When are the official lines going to be released? Only a few days until the deadline to submit, and obviously we need the official lines before we can submit! Hope those will be posted soon. I mean if in a certain game SBR chooses to make the line 3.5 when conceivably they also could have certainly made it 3, well that could be a big enough difference that one might be inclined to choose the opposite team. So even if the general lines are known, we really do need the official lines if we are going to make what we think are the best choices.

    Nowhere in Post#1 where your edit stated, "1 Spot Left", when blackbart and I submitted entry, was there any condition that entry had to be solo.

    That's back to back contests where SBR has not stayed true to Contest Rules stated in Contest Post #1's.

    Umm, looks like they said that, and not only did they say that, they said it in bold when they added the extra entries. Not seeing the dispute here...

    This is extremely difficult to get any return as it is. If the rules stated there would be 73 or 85 entries i would have thought twice about soliciting a loan and tying up betpoints here for many weeks.
    I believe darys was one of the players who were not supposed to get in but did. Fortunately I only need Alabama to cover -6 to make this a non-issue. And edawg who was #78 on the list of what was supposed to be a 70 player field is going to beat me regardless of the outcome of the final game.

    I would like to remind everyone that rules are rules. If you are unable to submit your final pick you don't need to be in contention to begin with. Thanks SBR!
