Arrow Bowmans - WIN TO STAY IN $100 Weekly NBA Challenge - Thursday, Feb.16th - Picks Here

This is a last man standing/survival weekly contest. Starting each Monday each contestant will select either a side or total from the lines posted. If your pick wins then you advance on to the next day. If your pick loses then your are eliminated for that weeks contest. Winners keep advancing until there is one contestant left. Monday through Thursday contestants will select only one side or total. If there are multiple players remaining on Friday then contestants must play every side on the board and pick the total points scored in a pre-determined game chosen by a moderator. If for example there are four players remaining on Thursday and everybody gets eliminated on that night, then those four players would try again the next day.

• Contest will run each week from Monday to Friday.

• Picks will be chosen from the Bowmans lines, posted by SBR Forum moderator.

• Pushes count as a loss.

• If you advance and fail to submit a pick for the following day you will be eliminated for that week.

• All picks must be submitted before the day’s first tip off unless otherwise indicated.

• The contest thread locks each day at 6:50PM EST unless otherwise indicated.

• Players that enter an incorrect game will have that selection automatically marked as a loss.

• All participants must establish a Bowman’s account and PM their Bowmans account number to me or email me at: onlooker@sbrforum.com .

• Contest winner must have at least $25 in Bowmans account to redeem $100 prize.

• 4x rollover applies to $100 prize.

• Either Sportsbook Review or Bowmans may deny entry or prizes for any contestant with out cause and rules may be modified without prior notice.

Hey there guys. Sorry I should of noticed that and made it like a friday night.

You guys did good on posting both ways. I will make the BOLD game the total tiebreaker now.

If your still around darkghost, please make your guess for the total of the above game in BOLD. Thanks.

Sorry for the confusing day guys.

This means, that if more than one person has a correct pick, than who guessed the total of HOU-PHO closer to the number wins, am I right?

(so only 1 pick, and in case of tie, the closer number wins...?)

Everyone picks a side on each game. Plus the total points scored in the bold game above. Tiebreaker is the person closest to the total points scored in the bold game above.
