    What kind of baseball contests would everyone be interested in?
    anything involving teams? 3 cappers make up a team, you get 3 a max of 3 picks a day, you have a minimum per month and so on. could be tourney style, could be just adding up the month, could be whatever everyone wants. we have some ideas, but what would everyone like to see. we're going to kick some things off and give away prizes.

    I think more people would play if it was kind of a do it yourself style. I would say that the most $ should be given away in that fashion, similar to a BTP style. The teams are an interesting idea but it's much more convenient to be antisocial and not bother with anyone else, if something like that is done make it for smaller amounts than the main contests.

      anything you can dream of Id trytrytry

      simpler the better for the graders!

      post lines night before and play everyone uses same lines to avoid confusion.

      3 picks a day max sounds good.

            Big contest = do it yourself style like BTP

            small ones = maybe 2-3 man teams, custom user title above avatar for bragging rights, maybe tickets to a regular season MLB game of choice.

              it should be a fun season, we want to create ideas that have people wanting to participate, wanting to win, and something that creates some discussion. discussing games is a reason for the team idea. no concern with how difficult it may be to grade, i'll take care of that, we just want to have whatever is the most fun to get us from hoops to football season.

                maybe something that involved the entire series as opposed to the individual games. You could get rewarded for picking underdogs to win the series or something like that.

                BTP style is nice as well.

                  2-3 plays a day max. 1 unit each. no favs more than -200.

                  monthly and seasonal winners.

                  top 5 each month play against eachother in SEPTEMBER for the grand prize.

                    ** -200 or over are fine those lose the most cash long term in baseball. no reason to fear those games if others want to take them...

                        fine..

                        so we can allow that.

                        i think the contest i wrote up is a nice format.

                        what do you think?

                          Is this a thinly veiled insult of some sort?

                            Any and all, but teams seems like a strange and not good idea.

                            How about though, at the end of the baseball season, the one top winner gets some kind of bracelet-type thing like in poker. Doesn't have to be a bracelet, but something like it, with some kind of official sbr stamp of authenticity or whatever.

                            I love the bracelet concept in the WSOP, it would be cool if there were similar status stuff for handicapping.

                                I found nothing wrong with last year's monthly contest, except for the 30-play max. I say let's do the same thing with no monthly max, just a max of 3 plays per day.

                                  I'd say,

                                  2 plays a day (max)

                                  1 unit per play

                                  5 plays per week (min)

                                  1 BEST BET per week worth 2 units (required)

                                  Most units at the end of the month wins,

                                    we'll have a max per day and a minimum. we'll also be awarding each months highest and lowest finishers. that way you're not out of it if someone goes crazy for a month and you can try and tank it for a prize.

                                        'Yes' to maximum amount of plays per day.

                                        'No' to minimum amount of plays per day.

                                        'No' to a best bet set-up. All plays should be 1 unit.

                                        Fuck teams.

                                                    why don't we do suicide pool each week. you can't pick the same team twice for that week, and you have to pick 7 teams.
