    Team NASCAR for The Hawk's NCAA Bowl contest

    Who wants some off season entertainment in here?

    Team NASCAR to show the rest of SBR how this is done?!

    You make 15 picks. Five picks will be designated as a 1 star, five picks as a 2 star and five picks as a 3 star.

    SBR will award the winner $5,000 cash
    2nd place 50,000 betpoints
    3rd place 25,000 betpoints


    http://www.sportsbookreview.com/forum/players-ta...-cash-1st.html

    (SBR has confirmed they will split the cash prize and send checks to everyone individually)



    5 people at 500 points per person to make up one 2500 point entry. If we get 10 people we can make two entries.


    Deadline to submit Entries is 17th December, so you will need to commit by 10th of December so we can organize who is picking what, and come up with the 500 points by 16th December.

    So far in other threads Shaunovery, 5mike5, CarolinaDaze and myself have said they want to play, so we only need 1 more person to make one entry. But let's see how many actually might be interested?

    Oh shit, I didn't think about that

    Sorry mate.

    If I had stopped and thought at all I would have offered to hold onto them for you in case you wanted them sent anywhere in a chunk.

    I guess a 3 star, 2 star and 1 star pick each is the simplest way.

    But am open to suggestions.

    i think when we had decided the memners of the team we could use the private chat function to decide arange a time we could all meet up and discuss picks

    That should be fine Stash. We still need 3 more for a second entry. But this is supposed to be a little something to keep the NASCAR regulars together over the off season, so I hope you won't mind being bumped if 4 more turn up wanting in.

    After a little thinking here is what I propose. Assuming we get 10 people to play.

    Shaunovery and I are the team captains, and get to draft the other 4 players for our team one at a time in turn.

    Each team member will submit 5 picks to their captain by PM.

    The picks should be 1 star 2 star or 3 star.

    If you rate yourself a good Bowl capper, and feel strong about about all 6 picks, it's fine to make them all 3 star.

    Conversely, if you are not confident in your college football skills, it's also fine to make them all 1 star.

    This will give each team a ranked list of picks. (if we don't get 15 unique picks each Captain goes back the team to do it again with the remaining matches)

    Once we have done this I suggest both teams post their lists in this thread to discuss the merits of keeping them in that order or not.


    I'd also like to suggest that if we have two entries each player should own 75% in their own teams entry, and 25% in the other. (so $750 if your entry wins or $250 if the other entry wins)

    What did you change your mind about so long after posting it Mike?

    It's cool to say you don't like the ideas there if that's what it was.

    Be surprised if they get more than 30 entries when the crunch comes.

    30 entries covers the points prizes fully, so guessing that's the number they expect too.

    Hopefully between us we will be involved on 3-4 teams at least so that gives us a 1 in 3 chance of winning

    That's dumb. Gonna be hard to figure out who sent who now and how to split it up.

    I'm down to put 500 in for a 5 person or all the way up to 1250 if someone wants to go half

    i agree

    im starting to think i might just try and get a small 2 or 3-man team together seperate

    just too many people and and when u think about it, its going to be very hard to win with so many players picking games on each team....ur going to need to get hot to have any chance at this contest....just my 2 cents

    im still thinking, but might go that route
