Contest is limited to players who posted up with Olympic Sports in accordance with our registration rules, deadline for entry is Noon, est. Tuesday, December 6th.......Contest starts on Saturday, December 10th....

For details on how to enter, check the thread offshore...

http://forum.therx.com/showthread.php?t=321592




1. Each week, each player will pick 15 games ats, no totals

2. The top 3 each week, will win small weekly prizes, and also gain an entry into the "bracket finale" during the tourney

3. Each week will be graded seperately, so a bad week, only hurts you once, or if u miss a week, the only penalty is that you didnt have a shot at the weekly money or the entry for THAT WEEK.....

4. The contest will run for 8 weeks, meaning there will be 24 entries vying for the big prizes at the end...

5. Each week, players will pick the "total" of a designated game, to be used as a tiebreaker.....top 3 will be based on win % of the 15 games, due to the fact that we will have some "pushes", in other words, a person going 10-4-1, will beat the person going 10-5, even tho both had 10 wins for the week....

6. Lines will be posted on Thursday or Friday, based on how many "available" lines there are.....Deadline for picks will be 11:45 a.m., est on Saturday......

7. When posting plays, please try and keep them in rotation order....it is not necessary to copy the lines, the easiest way for me to grade it, and the most helpful, is to simply list the rotation number, and team name....no other "stuff" in the post....makes it much easier, and will be appreciated...

8. There is NO EDITING of posts at all, and all plays must be in ONE POST....So please make sure you have your plays correct before submitting.....If u dont pick (15) games, you will recieve a loss for any games you are short, and if u pick more than 15 games, your entry for the week, will not count.....


Once we know exactly how many people we have, i will post the exact weekly prizes, and grand prizes.....


The BRACKET FINALE will work just like a "local" bracket contest, where u pick all the games beforehand, and are awarded points on a graduating scale throughout the tourney.....Olympic is working on gettting some software so we can post the plays online in a bracket, but if that doesnt come through, then we will do just like we have the last 2 years, and i will start threads for every round of the tourney, and you will list your "winning teams" for that round in the thread.....it has worked VERY WELL both years of the contest, so we are fine if we dont get the software....I will post more details on the bracket picks, once the time gets closer.......


Any questions, please ask here....


Good Luck, and thanks for playing...

And thanks to Olympic for their generous sponsorship..:money:

U can use the sunday games as well....

What i did last year, was use the closing lines from scoresandodds.com so that everyone could make their picks early if they wanted......i didnt have to post lines that way...

and ask that everyone put their plays in rotation order..

I was wondering when the new revised list of players for the contest will be up. I'm pretty sure I sent the emails before the deadline along with my username,etc. Bucsfan can you let us know if you got in touch with Karol. Thks

Yes, Vikiing611, they do.....On Friday, u can click at the top on "tomorrow" and it has the opening lines/line moves for all the major sports, in rotation order...The reason i like to use them, is once games are over, they list the final scores, with final line right next to it, in rotation order, makes it quite easy for grading....

Used them for this contest last 2 years, and it worked great...

Bucs, I just checked out http://www.scoresandodds.com/ and clicked on "Tomorrow" , but no college bb odds are posted. I did notice a couple of players have already made their picks so they must be getting the lines from somewhere. Did I miss something?

They are up there now.....Not sure when they go up....You can look for lines anywhere, but for the "contest purposes" we will be grading by the closing lines there, which are always right in line with the book's consensus....

Its hard to get lines way ahead of time, i suggest you make your plays on saturday morning, or late friday night, or just check the lines u see, and base them on that, knowing they will be VERY close....

You do not post lines with your games, so u dont need to have an exact number before posting....

am in confirmed on this? sent in the cash and emails...


Yes try, the thread was posted in offshore, as i said it would be, was up last week....

Make sure to get picks in next week....its not a "continuing record" contest, so you wont be at any disadvantage by missing week 1....Each week is a new contest....

good luck

Same with me Bucsfan I assume? I know I missed the first two weeks but can go ahead and jump in now without further penalty other than disqualifying myself for those weeks?

I will assume as much unless I hear otherwise. Thanks man, appreciate it. Great contest and a great sponsor to boot. I will make sure to remember to get them in this week.
