Sox Fan on Cape

OK, we're back to the normal Sunday and Monday Night format. But I've made some changes, so read the rules again. You must follow the rules to avoid conflicts. The rules : Enties close Saturday 9/16/06 @ 6:00 PM EST You must have 200 posts or more to enter. There must be at least 15 entrants in each category. Winners must contact me by PM with their name and address within 24 hrs. Use the templates provided ( any edits/corrections use your original post and post the changes so that I can make a correction on the Master list ). Template are provided in the start of the thread. I'll also make and maintain a Master list of the picks for Monday Night Football Total Points in the second post on page 1. Please examine the Master List before and after you post your selections. This is to avoid duplicate Tie Breaker picks ( which pretty much negates the purpose ). Duplicates picks in any other category are fine. Indicate when you pick if you're just for recognition ( I assume everyone else is playing for prizes ). Select your picks in BOLD. You can pick up to three picks ( one in each category ). There are three Prize Categories : 1) Spread Category : You're picking the favorite or the underdog. Choose the favorite then you're giving the points to the underdog. Conversely, choose the underdog and you get the points. 2) Straight Category : Very simple, just pick the winner. 3) Total Monday Night Football Points Scored : It's very easy, pick the total number of points that you think will be scored by both teams. This total is not only a separate prize Category, but also serves as a tie breaker in the other Categories. Hence, there will be no ties allowed. Again check the Master list before and after you post. The Prizes are : $ 25 for each Category. The purpose of this contest is to have some fun, bragging rights, and a little pocket money. So have fun and if you have questions, post them or PM me. Week Two NFL Football Spread - NFL Game Dates 9/17 - 9/18, 2006 Spread Category Date & Time...... Favorite.............

I believe his ERA would be a tad over 3.33 ( off the top of my head ).

Maybe you should take the time to quote who you are responding to.

Congrats to Stocker323 who won the Thursday Night Football Total Points.

Stocker, you sly dog. Ah, the advantage of choosing late.

You're good to go. Thanks, Rick

Two things. One submit your pick or it doesn't count. Two as it says check the master list before and after posting. You selected 31 which has been taken, check the master list on page 1, post 4, and choose again.

Small point, but you mean Sanchez don't you ?

Thanks.

That's correct. But most people will try that first. Just following what the message said.

Are you going to fix the rest of the site ? Contests and Prizes forum would be nice if it worked. Like this message : No Thread specified. If you followed a valid link, please notify the administrator

OK fellow sports fans, football is about to start and I'm pumped. Last year we ran a weekly contest that was a lot of fun. Since, the first week this year has a somewhat odd schedule, I'll adjust the rules next week when things settle down. You must follow the rules to avoid conflicts. The rules : Enties close 9/7/06 @ 6:00 PM EST You must have 200 posts or more to enter. There must be at least 15 entrants in each category.

It's very easy, pick the total number of points that you think will be scored by both teams. This total is not only a separate prize Category, but also serves as a tie breaker in the other Categories. Hence, there will be no ties allowed.

Thanks, I feel better on a couple of levels.

I have'nt heard much about how bad it is. Do have any source ?

Maybe you could do the same for league #1 ? The $100 prize and custom user title applies to this league also.
