THE 8th ANNUAL 2019 LV HILTON STYLE NFL SUPERCONTEST (Picks & Standings Thread)

[shale]

Sheesh The usual around this site. I said I was in the wrong. I strongly disagree with the rule only because I just can't see any possible reason not to let the picks be made until Sunday morning. I ask a simple question about the reason why the deadline is the day before. Of course no answer. Just a snide remark. Would expect nothing else as no one is ever cordial on this site so why start now. Once again I'm fine with it. As ridiculous as I think it is. One way or the other I do enjoy these pools and appreciate you guys for running them. If I do mention ways that I feel they can be improved I will still post my thoughts. If they are ignored fair enough. Nothing wrong with trying lol

Cry me a river dude! You signed up, you read the rules, then it is your responsibility. Don't like them then don't play period. Tired of hearing people complain about times this times that. JOH and company put on a great contest year in an year out. I am happy to donate my funds to have that opportunity to play in and win in them.

The only thing I propose for change in the future is to add the admin fee at the end of the contest entry fee. Add that 8% or 10% fee to the 100$ or 200$. That extra couple dollars to the admins should not hurt any ones wallet, but will give full value on the prize pool.

Didn't think I'd hear this proposal come out. The 8% was shared amongst 3 of us in a pro-rated manner... full disclosure.

This is ran the exact same way as the SC. Picks are due at 2pm ET every Saturday. So we actually have an additional 2 hours.

 

[okie77]

Ok all good. I will just have to find a way to get my picks in during the week. Will text the gf my picks and hopefully she doesn't screw it up

Missing a deadline sucks...has happened to myself thru the years. However, if the deadline is moved it should be shortened...certainly not extended. It has been modeled to reflect the Westgate.

The major flaw with these contests, including the Westgate Super Contest, already is that it has more to do with line moves than actual handicapping. Having deadlines closer to start times only would increase the current flaw.

 

[okie77]

Yeah I see that I guess. To be honest I just assumed that because they moved the college picks deadline to the morning of the games that they did the same with the NFL. My bad for assuming. Live and learn. Let the comeback begin next week.

Same, sets you back but still so early its just a smack in the face that will hopefully remind you "GET THEM PICKS IN!"

fletchisrhsm, trytrytry.... wrong codes

:headbeat:

No idea what this means. It accepted them. Does this mean the picks didn't count? I'm lost

Check your PM. It accepts anything you put in there. The purpose is to provide security. A wrong code might mean someone else put in your picks. To be honest I should void picks with the wrong number. Frustrating tracking down the culprits.

I feel you bud. Thanks for the clarification. Total error on my part.

Hey JOH, I just looked at the prize pool and is the payout 84% or 92%? Thought there was just the 8% admin fee, and that $184 of the $200 entry fee went towards the contest. Is there an 8% admin and an additional 8% other? I suppose the other 8% could be for the silly questions, dealing with wrong codes and dealing with the bitching of the deadline for picks.....lol.

 

[Willie99]

It's 8%, and 8% of 200 is 16

We all have those moments

 

[jwp2006]

I figured it was an oversight just wanted to make sure.

 

[sherwood]

The 3 that missed the deadline Week 2 had no issue getting in on time Week 1 yet the deadline Week 2 becomes an issue. Can't win.

It wasn't an issue for me JOH. I missed it on my own a and blame nobody

just use the same time as the contest in Vegas

not a fan of the extra time to put in picks
