Mods - I will move this thread/contest to the proper forum as the season approaches. I just want the ability to edit my posts for now.

Here are the rules for the 16 man contest.

• each player will start with a bankroll of 60 units per round. you will be allowed to bet 30% of your bankroll on sundays, and 15% on any other days. ie, i have 72 units going into a sunday, i can man make up to 22 (round up from 21.6 units) units wagered that day. all bets must be minimum of 1 unit. you must make a minimum of 15 plays per round. **see below edit made for final day % allowed.
  
• we will be using the opening line from sbr as our lines. we are only allowed to bet the side or total of a game vs the spread/total. no moneyline wagers and all bets are -110 per 100 bet.
• it is up to you to keep track of your records. i am not an official scorekeeper. though anyone can catch a mistake and let me or the participants know. after each day, there should be an updated unit total in each thread. if a player breaks the daily % rule, then we subtract the units he went over from his most recent play posted. (ie, you're allowed 20 units, but have bet 22 - your last bet posted was jets for 3 units. that play is now adjusted to jets 1 unit so please use a calculator and pay attention to what your opponent is posting. you must catch % rule mistakes before the next set of games begin on an upcoming day. errors on lines/totals can be corrected at any time during the round, but we wont worry about how that change affetced the total % allowed since it can get too confusing depending on how far we go back for a correction.
• plays must be posted 5 minutes before the 12-1pm eastern games for ALL afternoon games (including west coast at 4pm eastern). 5 minutes before the scheduled start time for the sunday night/monday games. daily % total cant be adjusted going into night games. it is what it is going into that day.
• if there happens to be a tie after the round is over, the player with the best % will move on. if there is still a tie, then we have entered the twilight zone
• once down to 0 units, you are toast.
• though we will start each round over at 60 units, we will reseed each round based on the totals number of units accumulated for each player. win % is used as a tiebreaker for units. ie, going into round 3, we would total the units from round 1 and 2, then reseed. round 1 will be drawn from a hat. the winner of the tournament gets cocknocker from oakland during the entire playoffs. the 2 will be allowed a max of 20% of their roll each day. ck has proven himself to be a beast during any playoffs, so i think this would be a fun/tough culmination to the contest.

Round 1: 9/10-10/5
Round 2: 10/11-11/2
Round 3: 11/8-11/30
Round 4: 12/3-1/3

To eliminate someone getting lucky on the final day, the % will be lowered on the last day of each round:

round 1 (final day is monday 10/5 - only 10% is allowed on that day)

round 2 (final day is monday 11/2 - only 10% is allowed on that day)

round 3 (final day is monday 11/30 - only 10% is allowed on that day)

round 4 (final day is sunday 1/3 - only 20% is allowed on that day)

guys - let me know if i have missed something important as far as the rules go. though we wont be changing the general set of rules outlined above.

this is not an open invitation tourney - sorry guys. a bunch of us have already agreed to this months ago. though feel free to copy the structure and start up another contest. shit like this lights fires under us, and gives an edge vs the books.....imo

Sexymit and I are gonna have a rolling bankroll/record NFL page this season, so it may be a conflict of interest if I have the plays here and there at the same time. I wish the contestants well. I will demolish the winner in the NFL Playoffs if that is okay!

[TodaysAction]

Thanks for the invite and you can count me as in.

you got it.

**Here are the only rule changes for the NFL playoffs in which the winner of the season long challenge will face Cocknocker:

- each participant will start with 50 units, and can bet up to 20% of your roll each day. however, on superbowl sunday you may only bet 10% of your roll (again, to negate the "chasing" aspect)**

[overdose.fR]
