just an idea but how about instead of a post count tie break, have the tie break go to the player that posted his play first.

It's very simple, yet it gives amateurs like myself ample time to scout out the top player's picks well before game time. It also takes skills to post your plays early.

Post count is a horrible tiebreaker. There's already been an exponential increase in the number of worthless posts since the contest was announced.

The best tiebreaker is time of submission. This would give back some edge to those that can handicap and form an opinion early rather than just taking advantage of bad numbers at the last minute.

I'll be for all this if the picks can be concealed until the first kickoff.

Great suggestion RS.

The problem with that is that the line changes and I know on the contest it is set from tuesday... but anything can happen... a player could get hurt or something to that affect... Makes the world a difference...

for those of you with high post counts, just think of this from a perspective of a low poster by less than one hundred post from another.

Not considering the rare chance of a tie, I have to hit my 2 unit play and go 3-1 for 3 units just to have a chance at a prize iff the Prick doesn't score 3 points or more.

Others with high post counts don't have to hit their 2 unit play and go 2-2 to win a prize if the Prick scores 0 or less points. The scary part is they can monopolize the tie-breaker.

It's good to have 200 or more post counts I guess but how is a 200 poster that just joined 2 weeks ago any different from a 25 poster that joined 2 years ago? Did they actually contribute to the forum by spamming 199 posts?
