    Trophy 500* Point Contest Rules & Sign Up Thread

    The date selected for this one day contest will be Wednesday, October 28, 2009.
    There will be games from M.L.B., the N.B.A. and the N.H.L..
    All you have to do is select the winner.
    Those games will be posted by Monday evening.
    Players can begin posting up now.

    Condition One
    * There are two levels of prizes.

    * Level One: Player(s) gets everything correct and gets the entire pool split evenly if there are multiple winners.

    * Level Two: The most likely outcome, the top three (3) with the most correct will get a prize depending on the number of players provided the minimum number of players is obtained. The prize structure is as follows: 1st place will win 60% of the pool, 2nd place will win 20% of the pool and 3rd place will win 10% of the pool. The other 10% is withheld if there is a tie for any finish. If there is not a tie a portion of the points will distributed to the winners.

    Condition Two
    * There must be at least five (5) people in the contest who will pay the 50 point entry fee or twelve (12) people who will pay a 20 point entry fee or twenty-five (25) people who will pay a 10 point entry fee. Who ever posts up first, once the thread/book is open, for the contest determines the minimum number of players and the fee that are needed to run this. It's all on the players and yes you can buy a second entry with the appropriate fee. In the event the minimum number of players was not obtained, all points transfer will get a full refund and a win/risk point wager at the following day's TA's Multi-Sports Book (certain restrictions apply). The amount of the win/risk is unknown at this time since it's based upon the number of players who entered this contest.

    Condition Three
    * Each player must make a selection on every game.
    * There will be between 10 and 20 games that are all on the same day.
    * There will be games from various sports for the day.
    * Players pick the winning team.
    * Get everything right, you win the Level One prize.
    * If the Level One prize is not won, the Level Two payout structure will be used.
    * Players must post all their selections at one time in one post, even if they have paid for a second. Just make certain there is a clear distinction between your choices.
    * Selections must be time stamped 10 minutes before the first game for the day.
    * Winner(s) will be paid between 12:30pm EST and 12:45pm EST the next day, if not sooner.

    You may now start posting up to have a chance to win 500 points. Good luck.

    Good morning betme,

    As long as you post up/transfer me points to the first post in the thread, yes. Currently, since nobody else has joined, if you sign up you'll determine the cost and minimum number of players needed for this to be a go. If it's not a go, you get your points back and a free win/risk wager at the book I run good. The free wager is good only on Thursday, 10.29.09. So by all means, post up and you're in.

    The buy in prices are 10, 20 and 50. I presume you're going with the 20 point fee since thats the closest to what you've transfered. You only need 3 more points transfered which can be done when you get a few more. Thanks for joining and good luck.

    007Fatty has set the stakes for this contest. The buy in is 20 points and as listed above, we need at least 12 for this to be a go. He is one, leaving but only 11. The more people who enter, the higher the prizes go.

    ...and thankfully for me NO football... I don't bet it or follow it which leaves me on the outs with most of the contests this time of year...

    I smell a "ringer". Originally I was going to run this on another date but didn't remember,, we have plans that night and I know how much time is need to grade a contest like this and will need to stay on top of each players card as the day unfolds. It should be fun and I'd love to see someone grab the Level One prize - that would make my night.

    Done. If I'm going to gamble the points anyways, I might as well shoot for the big prize. Ten NHL games, twelve NBA games, and game 1 of the world series to choose from... Whoo.

    Who knows, you might just walk away with all of the points. You've got as good of a chance as everyone else.

    You can't fool me. Anyone who skips football must specialize in the sports going on at that time of year.

    Sorry to inform you but as of right now, you're not "in". The fee for this contest is 20 points. You have transfered but 1 and are required to send 19 more to be "in". I saw you have enough under your avatar to cover the cost in full with one fee.

    The thread will be posted once the minimum number of players has been obtained.

    After thinking this over the last few days and nights, a decision was made to run this contest with how ever many have signed up and are paid in full. If the previously mentioned minimum is not met, all those (paid in full), will still get a free play from Thursday's book I'll be putting up and the prize structure will default to the Level Two prize distribution.

    Not a problem dogcity. It's just my way of saying "thank you" for your participation to those who joined. There are certain restrictions on the free, one being if the wager loses the player does not this added to their rebate total. The others will be listed in that days book.

    Yes, your points show in my history. It's just much easier to have players use the coin at the bottom of the first post. That way it eliminates any possible doubt that a person singed up and paid. Good luck to you.

    Not a problem, as you have a copy of the points sent in your history as do I in my history. People know me well enough to realize I call it the way it is.

    Not that big of a deal shantystar, just send 19 more from your 88 listed and you're in.

    It's Contest Day.

    Make certain you get selections in on-time.

    This will serve as "Last Call".

    Are you supposed to pick one side in each and every NBA, NHL, and MLB game for tomorrow?

    I have a strong feeling no one knows what is going on.

    Why not run this in the normal tournaments and just select those three sports and put a min/max amount of picks at
