Thanks Mission for running a fun game! Thanks BBB and Ed for taking up the laboring oat on the money and scorekeeping.

Congrats to DJ and the other winners!!

Glad I played.

Kinda sucks I didn't get to bet my team more often, but I really think the Seahawks aren't great bets ATS.

Is 62 losses the all time record for futility?

Terapined,

Sure thing! Thanks for starting the thread! I'll put the official thread together sometime this week. I'll probably be kicking in a little less for prize donations this year than I did last year, last year I was basically just trying to keep up with WoN's donations. I didn't like the idea of him donating more to the game than me when I'm the one who invented it...lol

Anyway, my donations will probably be:

Winner: $50
Most Average: $50
You Suck: $50

I think that I'm going to do the flat entry fee again, but we're going to go back to the honor system. I think it was a condition of WoN's donation that I collect the entry fees prior to the start of the contest, but I could be wrong about that. Either way, there's really no good reason I should need to hold everybody's money for seventeen weeks. It's honestly more of a PITA for me than anything else, because half of it is in the form of Amazon Gift Cards. I thought only a little of it would be. I really don't need that many Amazon Gift Cards...lol

I've never really understood why I should donate more to the winner, even though it's been my choice. The winner gets the prizes from everybody else anyway, so what does the winner need a big donation for?

Do I recall correctly that mission said he was a no go for running this contest again this year?

Quote: Mission146

I may have said something like that at some point, but I think that may have been an overreaction to some complaining that was happening, or suggestions for different ways to run it, whatever.

As I recall, I suggested if someone wanted to run the game in a different way (using CBS Sports or some equivalent) that I would not be running this game and they could just run the game. If that doesn't happen by August 15th, I'll likely set this game up again with the same contributions to prize structure.

Also, I really don't know that anyone holding all of the Entry Fees will be necessary, but I'm not opposed if that's what most people want to do. I won't be the one to hold them, though. BBB can probably do it again if she wants to.

Quote: Johnzimbo

BBB already has my $25 from last season. Do I win anything for being the early Bird? 😁

Quote: onenickelmiracle

Possibly if you win the Prozema Bowl.

Quote: prozema

I have a bowl?

Quote: GWAE

Took 2nd with random picks last year. Looking forward to doing it again

I have a bowl?

Quote: onenickelmiracle

Are you Kentry? You are looking forward to completely random success? Maybe that's better than being delusional with a system.

Quote: GWAE

Well the 3 prior years I was something like 40 percent sonic figured why not just make it random.
