Whens the deadline?

Points transfered when we make our picks?

Optional · 08-07-10, 02:09 AM

Deadline = Racetime (unless there is a good reason to make it earlier?)

And yeah, please post the points when picking.

5 points to play.

Winner takes all.

Pick the winner of these 5 matchups;

Edwards v Biffle
Hamlin v Kyle Busch
Kahne v Allmendinger
Jeff Gordon v Johnson
Ron Fellows v Boris Said

And predict the race winner, to break any ties. (split prize if still tied)

Please post your points when you pick, anytime up until race start time.

Biffle, Busch, Kahne, Gordon, Said. Winner, Stewart.

I'd be in but don't know about....how do you post points when picking??

Optional · 08-08-10, 09:23 AM

Click the little coin symbol at the bottom of my first post to "Give Points" to me. (then enter 5)

It will show up in the box at the bottom of the post to show you have paid. Like Hawk's does.

Then reply to this thread with your selections.

Will be closing in 5 minutes if anyone else wants to jump in late.

Optional · 08-08-10, 12:25 PM

Ok that's it, just the 3 of us for a big 15 point pool then. :-)

Looks like you paid twice for some reason Rickie, will send it back to you when we settle up.

Optional · 08-08-10, 03:19 PM

Edwards v Biffle
Hamlin v Kyle Busch
Kahne v Allmendinger
Jeff Gordon v Johnson
Ron Fellows v Boris Said

rickie65: 4 out of 5

Congrats Rickie. Transferring you 15 points winnings + the extra 5 points you paid now.

Hopefully!

If we get a decent number of regulars it might help convince SBR to add NASCAR support to the SBRpicks site too. (and put up odds in SBRbook every week)

hawk 5 · 08-10-10, 06:39 AM

I'll be in.

rickie65 · 08-10-10, 09:03 AM

I"ll be out of town this weekend so probably not in, unless you post choices by thursday night than I'll put the 1/2 educated guess out there though to keep the pot active

No worries, Thursday it is.

CarolinaDaze · 08-10-10, 12:47 PM

I'll check in Thursday.

avssakic · 08-10-10, 08:44 PM

Ditto. I game this week. Thanks Optional

onlooker · 08-11-10, 12:07 AM

I didn't even open this thread till now. If I remember I will play this week.

Optional · 08-11-10, 02:07 AM

Sounds like we have some potential now! I'll post a thread in the competitions forum to try and get a few more too.

hawk 5 · 08-11-10, 06:30 AM

Should be fun.

I'll keep an eye out for it

CarolinaDaze · 08-11-10, 07:52 PM

Maybe we should put up 10 points instead of 5. Either way im in.

avssakic · 08-11-10, 11:49 PM

Yea up the pot, fewer people but more points

CarolinaDaze · 08-12-10, 01:20 AM

I think upping points will bring more people in. Everyone has 10 points to spare.

Optional · 08-12-10, 02:43 AM

I'd be happy with 10 points too, in fact I'd be happy to go with 20 or more. But after only pulling 3 starters last week maybe it would best to keep it low another week or two? I suggest we go with 5 points again this week, see how many play, and I'll ask everyone that enters to suggest their preferred amount for the following week when they post their picks.

If anyone thinks there should be a 2nd place prize say so. I was thinking it wasn't worth doing unless we got at least 100 points in the prize pool.

Someone suggested increasing the number of matchups. But I think keeping it the simpler the better would be best. I could add a line price to each matchup, and judge the winner by units profit, which might make it more interesting, but is also not as simple.

Anyway, I'm kinda for leaving it as is and just increasing the entry points to a level that most people like. But please let me know what you think about all that too.

I'm about to put together my stats for this week's race, so will post the game thread after that, in a couple of hours.

hawk 5 · 08-12-10, 06:33 AM

I vote all or nothin and keep it simple.
