New proposal to continue contest after this weekend
1) Last unbeaten money gets paid, presently worth $ 325 per team
2) Each strike gets paid $ 1,000, presently worth $ 1,170
3) Presently there are 10 strikes remaining, so that means $ 1,700 remains in the pool until we crown a champion (or not)
4) If strikes are earned this weekend, more money goes into the jackpot since less money would be paid out for the $ 1,000 per strike
5) Here's the beauty, no problem if someone wants out, they get paid and the pool is adjusted accordingly with the exact same rule. Everyone else gets $ 1,000 per strike, the rest goes into the ongoing contest
PLEASE RESPOND IN THIS THREAD BEFORE 4:35 pm SATURDAY 1/16/2021
Anyone who does not respond is assumed to be out and will be paid whatever he or she has coming to them

Just remember, this becomes more of a crap shoot after this weekend, you may have used the surviving teams and you can get fucked heading into the SB
So it becomes less of a skills game and more about luck. Or we may all just run out of teams and wind up splitting the pot anyhow

It is more complicated, that's why we're paying out everyone who has money coming and playing for much smaller balance for the remainder of the contest. Winning this weekend is far more important
I tried the two strike option twice, it failed, nothing changed since then. It remains 1 strike this weekend with changes coming next year. Two strikes beginning in the playoffs, which will only run for the first two weekends like this year.

So far two people are in, four to go
Curt is in, waiting on three

The proposal can be summarized as follows
1) Last unbeaten teams split $ 1,300, as always
2) Each remaining strike gets paid $ 1,000. So if you have zero strikes, you get $ 2,000 and if you have one strike you get $ 1,000
3) the balance, which would be $ 1,700 as of this moment, stays in the contest and we continue the contest through the playoffs (warning, this can get funky, but we're all in the same boat and most of the prize money will have been paid out)
4) If somebody wants out and / or doesn't respond, they get paid in full and the prize pool is adjusted accordingly

I'm making another minor tweak to the expanded playoff pool. Any remaining strike gets paid $ 1,100, up from $ 1,000. That means everyone is contributing $ 70 per strike and the prize pool is currently $ 700
I'm going to cap the expanded playoff prize pool to $1,500. Anything above that will be paid to remaining participants prorated based on their remaining strikes (as always)
I'm doing that because it's possible that there are six strikes this weekend, and I don't want the expanded playoff prize pool to grow by $ 6,600. That's not my intent
Right now we have three people in and three who haven't responded. If we have less than six in, the expanded playoff prize pool decreases accordingly
It's all simple math, nobody will get cheated

Assuming nobody gets a strike this weekend, you're owed $ 1,170
You receive $ 1,100
You're in the extended playoff contest for $ 70. (somebody who has no strikes receives $ 2,200 and puts $ 140 into the contest)
It's the same site using the same rules and the same history. There is NO reset, yahoo runs this contest as they have it setup through it's fruition
picks get funky after this weekend, so I'm working to make this a just for fun thing, see if somebody can "win" this thing
Thus far 4 out of six are in, and as I've posted already, we will proceed with just four. The other two will get paid whatever they're owed after this weekend
And to be clear, the last unbeaten prize portion of this contest ends this weekend, that would have to be run separately since not everyone is unbeaten
Probably has the most picks, stating the obvious
Captain Lee and kywildcats are NOT in extended playoff contest
