Handicapping Contest

[Jayvegas420]

Now that I am a Pro, am I able to organize a a Handicapping Tournament?
I was thinking winner take all. 5 bets minimum. 100 points. NFL, NBA,NHL, NCAAB.

Something like that

[xraygord]

So you can bet across many different leagues? Or one different league for NFL, NHL etc?

[yisman]

yeah you can, go to contests.sbrforum.com and you can create one

Would this be a 1 day tournament since it would only be 5 picks? Sounds interesting and i'd probably be down

[dynamite140]

Do nfl only for it

[ProPicker713]

Do NBa only, doesnt make sense having nfl with 2 games only.

[Jayvegas420]

I was thinking a one day Tourney across all sports.

[xraygord]

Sounds cool, I will be interested. Keep us posted.

Not sure a one-day tournament works because you would have a ton of ties with a low minimum, and if you raise the minimum too much a lot of guys would force plays and defeat the purpose of the contest.

[Mitchell88]

why not make it a three day tourney still short but more choices in games

[Jayvegas420]

OK, I'll get on this tonight.
I think I'll do 3 days, 3 sports, mandatory Super Bowl pick, no minimum selections.
100 point entry fee. winner gets everything except 100 points which is returned to 2nd place.
Anything else I am missing?

I'll start it 3 days before the Super Bowl.

When does Grapefruit & Cactus Ball start?


LT has to put up 200 points!!!!
LOL

[Shortstop]

[Grits n' Gravy]

So I assume you are running this manually and not through sbrcontests. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

[Jayvegas420]

Whats the difference between me running it and SBR?

[Jayvegas420]

Also I need a brief explanation of what the difference is between a League & a Tourney?

[Jayvegas420]

Actually I'm just gonna run a preliminary Tourney & a Preliminary League.
No cast to join. It's just what I'd call a test run so, I can get a feel for the two different types of contests.

The Preliminary Tourney:
Max Members : 64
Round Timespan: 3 days
Max Round Plays: 0
Min Round Plays: 5
Bet Range: 2
Base Betting: no
Best Bets Required: 0
Show Pending: Yes
Grading Method: Net Units

Does this make sense?

[Jayvegas420]

Won't let me complete.
im confused

At contests you can't customize point allocation unless SBR does it for you and you can't "force" anyone to play the Super Bowl.
