NCAA Bowl Contest 2016 II

[daneblazer]

sorry i missed that. just wondered if same rules as the SBR contest 1 solo aand 1 mixed team thats all.

seems its FREE RANGE here!

will we however use the same lines and that same BS rule for 4* on the national championship game in this contest?

ie same rules and lines and time limit etc etc? Or will you publish similar but your own rules to this? like payouts will be different obvioulsy!

I intended to use the same format & lines as the SBR contest but I'm open to changing that. Particularly the last game being 4*. At this point I'll prob have to create another thread anyway.

[toga toga]

Really annoyed I am locked out of the main contest, one of the best reasons to be a Pro. Nevertheless, will join this contest and hope for the best.

[playersonly69]

I also dont like having to play the last game as a 4 star. I will play if I cant get the points in time

[daneblazer]

Need to determine the final game too since it seems to be unpopular.

3* or leave it alone 4*? ...or don't play it at all. Need to figure that out as soon as possible to avoid confusion

[astro61200]

I think the final game as 4* is stupid. Essentially means you have to get it correct to win. You let people find their 15 favorite games to pick from out of a decent slate, then force them to pick a game they might not want to just because it's the championship. Then compound it by forcing it to be worth the most.

It's like the stupid gameshows where they spend the first half of the show playing meaningless rounds because it only matters if you win the final one.

[trytrytry]

if two are tied in points after the real format use that as the first tiebreaker, then have them give a total as well as second tiebreaker imo thats the only thing on that game you should consider using.

[playersonly69]

I would say dont include it at all since we have already picked our favorite 15 games. And usually the final game is not the 16th pick

[chico2663]

I put the 500 points in. I'm partners with mpaschal and he will be doing the heavy work.

[daneblazer]

Sounds like the last game is unpopular...

So only as a tiebreaker we'll do last game then the total

just do the 15 bowl picks. I'll PM all the entrants when bowl lines are available

[daneblazer]

[trytrytry]

will put in 4 set of picks. 2000 sent

[daneblazer]

4500 point prize pool now.

Bowl lines posted guys

[playersonly69]

I dont think that i will have the points in time. Good luck guys

[Ra77er]

If Stash is reading this I will pay the 500 and join but only as a team.

[astro61200]

In for 1. Also brought TNF Squares back for a lowly 5 point entry where the winner gets a entry into this. Figure that should boost awareness of it and allow people who want to play but are too broke a chance to get an entry for only 5.

[yisman]

I sent for one entry

[rainmaker82]

I'm in.

[LT Profits]

Maybe if LT joins. Probably just a poster contest tho

I joined but no to added points.

[LT Profits]

Do you have a separate thread for picks only?

[daneblazer]

Do you have a separate thread for picks only?

We Could make one... whatever is less complicated

[LT Profits]

We Could make one... whatever is less complicated

Probably a good idea for picks only while keeping the lively banter (as well as buy-ins) here.

[daneblazer]

Will make one tonight. If anyone puts picks here I'll paste them there

[astro61200]

Hoping we get more. May want to tier the payouts like 1-10 people is what you have listed, 11-14 is different, 15-19, etc. May convince other people to join if the it's only a person away from a 4th person getting paid.

If we get a bunch I can chip in $25 in Red Robin GC's. Still have like $400 left from last year haha

[daneblazer]

Once we hit 20 we can add some more to the payout structure. Can do it similar to a regular SNG

[astro61200]

Going to allow late entries? Then they just pick what's left?

If so could do more satellites for SNF or MNF, etc

If we are following same rules, all 15 games are due by 1:00 ET Saturday. That is probably best for record-keeping purposes too, the lines used will only get staler if we allow later entries, so late entrants would have unfair advantage.
