    Disappointed with operation of SBR 128 Man Contest
    Quiite surprised that, since SBR operates a very well managed BTP Contest with everything laid out in black and white, that the 128 Man Contest is the poster child for inconsistencies. Major flaw, with no standard from day to day what time the Daily Lines will be posted. Like we all have all day and night to stay glued to our computers, refreshing to see if and when lines are posted. No contest should be operated without having an designated time when lines will be available for each days action.
    Saturday NCAA football lines posted on Friday at 5:17pm.
    Sunday NFL lines posted Sunday at 8:17 am.
    15 hour difference in Line Posting times. NO EXCUSE for this!
    Like several others, all my primary Sunday picks were for the early NFL games. Due to prior committments, unable to post anything for those games. Rarely do I ever voice an opinion of disapproval with the operation of a web based sports contest, but feel it is warranted in the way this contest is conducted!

          Yt's why i didn't play in this one, you would think after 3 tries they would have most things ironed out. But it is free and there is good money up for the winners so can't do much complaining.

                Thanks for the evidence supporting my disapproval.

                  Free contest put on by SBR and advitizers. I'm out in round two
                  and appreciate the effort to put this together. Yes NBA lines could
                  have been put up on one occasion I can think of. Oh well bring on
                  the next contest SBR thanks.

                    There's a significant difference in resources put into BTP vs the 128 man.

                            Have no idea what that has too do with having a set time each day to post the Daily Lines. Football Lines are out Monday or Tuesday for games played Saturday and Sunday.
                            No need to kiss ass where ass kissing not warranted.

                              The fact that SBR has paid what I would imagine is a somewhat significant price for the programming/setup of the BTP site and it's live lines feature while the 128 man is still run on the board might be a hint.
