    You set up a bracket contest, I don't think that's what you want is it?

      Other than that, Money Line grading by Wins is perfect. If guys have to pick every single bowl, set minimum and maximum to 39.

        Oh you can't customize the prize payouts either, defaults are in Post #1 of all my weekly contests.

          lt are you talking about the min/max amount of plays?

          also I don't see how I set up the points distribution for winners.

          really don't know what im doing but thought it would be fun to just have a pickem

          thanks for you help

              Yes but they will default payouts. Those are as follows:

              Members 10-19
              1st: 60%
              2nd: 25%
              3rd: 15%

              Members 20-49
              1st: 50%
              2nd: 20%
              3rd: 15%
              4th: 10%
              5th: 5%

              Members 50+

                    I also just realized there is no way to leave out FCS/Division II/Division III games. I will leave min/max at 39 and guys are allowed to pick those games if they want to and skip some bowls.

                      I cancelled your contest, you should have gotten your 100 back. Sit tight I am creating now.

                        we could change it to 25 or 50 points if you think more people would get involved that way.

                                  I knew what I was doing the whole time, I was just testing LT's moderating skills, which are TOP NOTCH.
                                  You passed the test LT, well done sir.

                                          I will open up this contest, as well as the two bowl contests I am running, shortly after 8:00 ET Friday night, as that is kick-off of the last FCS Playoff game that night. As mentioned, FCS/Division II/Division III games are fair game for this contest from Saturday on forward, but you still must make exactly 39 plays total. If you skip the sub-division playoffs and literally play bowl games only, it will be exactly 39 once the Championship Game is set.

                                              Only 6 entries? Remember this contest closes when the first game starts Saturday, let's at least get to double-digits so that this is not a winner-take-all.

                                                  I invited everyone from my regular bowl pool contest, look like three of them have joined since I sent invites out last night.

                                                    Didn't invite me, and I'm in the ALL the other contests. Right now the whole system has some sort of bug. All the selections say "Not Available". That is all of your contests. Is there a fix coming soon? Click image for larger version
