Congrats Rex!

I completely fell apart at the end...makes me worried for my trip to Vegas next week.

Should I go ahead and paypal winnings?

[Yard of Junk]

Saved my best week of the season for the last week, but not enough to catch Rex. Happy to squeak out 2nd, though. We did a modified version of this for the tournament last year..... anyone inclined to put it together again?

I probably wouldn't do it, but I will play again next year. This was fun.

[Keg]

Congrats, Junkyard. Should I go ahead and paypal your $50?

[Keg]

Nevermind, I just saw your PM. Funds are on the way...

Spreadsheet: " onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;


Official Rules:

1) Each player must make 100 picks.
2) Each player must make 10 picks per week (20 picks in Week 9):
- If less than 10 picks are made, each game missed is counted as a loss
- If more than 10 picks are made, all picks beyond the 10th pick are treated as having never been made.
3) One pick per week must be designated as a best bet (2 points).
- Failing to make a best bet within your 10 picks results in losing the right to make a best bet pick (i.e., you can't go back and designate one of your picks as a best bet
- If you make more than one best bet in a week, the second best bet (and third and fourth, etc.) is treated as a normal bet.
4) All picks are to be posted to the contest thread.
- No edits
- Picks in blue are official
5) The official line for each day is the line posted to the thread. We used the NY Post odds last season with no issues. We should continue using them.
6) You may make picks at any time of the day, and multiple times per day, AS LONG AS each pick is made before that game tips off. A late pick is counted as a loss.
7) Picks must be in before the listed tip-off time.

Anyone willing to run the show on the 2015 contest? I haven't seen it mentioned, but I'd be in again if it gets put together.

[Keg]

Count me in. Hopefully we can get more then 4 people to join...

[Giff]

I'm down.

[Rex]

Any interest in revving up the tournament edition of the SuperContest this year? I didn't have time for picking regular season games this year, but I just had a fortuitous clearing up of my March schedule.

[Keg]

Count me in.

[Pruitt]

Yeah, I need a reason to watch the games.
