CONTEST RULES
1. ENTRANTS MUST PLACE A WAGER ON EVERY MATCH.
ANY ENTRANT WHO DOES NOT MAKE A SELECTION FOR A MATCH WILL BE GIVEN A 1.5 UNIT PENALTY. ANY PICK MADE AFTER THE LISTED MATCH STARTING TIME WILL ALSO BE PENALIZED THIS 1.5 UNITS.
2. ALL WAGERS ARE "TO WIN" or "TO RISK" & MONEY LINES ONLY
Example here is say it's Federer -300 vs. Roddick at +250. If you want to bet on Federer, you are risking 3 units to win 1. If you bet on Roddick, you are risking 1 unit to win 2.5.
3. ONCE THE GROUPS ARE ANNOUNCED, ENTRANTS WILL PICK THEIR FOUR SEMIFINALISTS, TWO FINALISTS AND A CHAMPION.
EACH CORRECT SEMIFINALIST = ONE UNIT BONUS
PICKING ALL FOUR SEMIFINALISTS CORRECTLY = 6 UNIT BONUS
PICKING BOTH FINALISTS = 8 UNIT BONUS
PICKING THE CHAMPION = 12 UNIT BONUS
4. PRIOR TO THE FIRST MATCH BEING PLAYED, EACH ENTRANT IS ALLOWED TO PICK ONE PLAYER FROM THE LIST OF EIGHT AS THEIR WILD CARD.
What does this mean? It means you accrue bonus units based on your player's record. Each win they pick up as a FAVORITE nets you an additional 0.25 units. Each win they pick up as an UNDERDOG will net you an additional 0.50 units. Each LOSS your player picks up when listed as a favorite greater than -110 results in a LOSS OF 0.50 units.
5. WINNER WILL BE DETERMINED BY THE PERSON WHO HAS ACCUMULATED THE MOST POSITIVE UNITS AT THE CONCLUSION OF THE TOURNAMENT. IN EVENT OF A TIE, HERE IS THE TIE BREAK PROCEDURE:
IF THERE IS STILL A TIE AFTER THESE TWO PROCEDURES, POINTS WILL BE SPLIT AMONG THE ENTRANTS TIED FOR A CERTAIN POSITION.
6. ALL PICKS MADE DURING THIS CONTEST CANNOT BE MODIFIED AND/OR DELETED.
IN OTHER WORDS, ONCE YOU MAKE A CHOICE - YOU ARE STUCK WITH IT REGARDLESS OF WHETHER THE MATCH HAS STARTED OR NOT. ANY PICKS THAT ARE MODIFIED AND/OR DELETED WILL NOT COUNT TOWARD YOUR TOTAL AND APPLICABLE PENALTIES WILL BE APPLIED.
ALL PICKS FOR THE MATCHES MUST BE MADE IN THIS THREAD ONLY! ANY PICKS MADE ELSEWHERE WILL NOT COUNT TOWARD YOUR ENTRY AND ANY APPLICABLE PENALTIES WILL BE APPLIED.
7. SBR MEMBERS ARE ALLOWED ONE ENTRY ONLY INTO THIS CONTEST.
8. ALL GRADING WILL BE DONE BY EAGLESPHAN36. ANY DISPUTES ON MISTAKES IN GRADING SHOULD BE BROUGHT FORTH TO EP36 VIA PRIVATE MESSAGE AS TO NOT CLUTTER THE THREAD.
9. ALL LINES FOR THIS CONTEST WILL BE POSTED DAILY BY EAGLESPHAN36 AND ANY LINES USED OTHERWISE WILL NOT BE COUNTED TOWARD AN ENTRANTS PICKS. APPLICABLE PENALTIES FOR USING NON-SANCTIONED LINES ARE THE SAME AS NOT MAKING A PICK FOR EACH MATCH OUTLINED IN RULE #1.
All lines will come via Pinnacle Sports. I will post the lines & starting times for the following day's events as close to the same time each evening as possible to allow for some consistency in lines. I realize the starting times listed may not jive with the actual starting times for the matches, but for the purposes of this contest - ALL PICKS ON MATCHES MUST BE MADE PRIOR TO THE LISTED START TIME FOR A PARTICULAR MATCH.
PLEASE CONSULT THE NEXT POST FOR INFORMATION ON WHAT YOU NEED TO DO NEXT TO ENTER THIS CONTEST.
