I like top 5 and NO last place.

Not sure how you would enforce last place anyway, since the rules state that if picks arent submitted, you get an 0-4 record for that week. Couldn't someone "forget" to post their picks if they are near the bottom towards the end of the contest?

I know Carib makes a rule that you must post picks every week to be eligible for the last place prize. I am voting no, but if the majority is yes, I strongly encourage you to adopt this rule.

Thanks for running the contest.

The ONLY way last place would be allowed is if the person selected games every week, someone who missed a week would be ineligible for last place prize, if we do it.

My vote would be top 5 are in the money.

Yes to "Last place gets $300"

It would give the bottom five or six guys something to enjoy contesting from week 11 on. I need something to look forward to, don't ya know....

Great idea.

good luck.

TOP 5. I guess Fish also would like to see last place receive cash, since I believe he at least shares that position after week one.:puppy: But I

also vote for the last place person to receive some cash.

Definitely against paying last place. Would rather see the money go to sixth than last.

So, Top 5 and NO to last place is my vote.

Xpanda makes a great point... if top 5 wins the vote I will go with top 6 because it was pretty close.
