3. Actual cash prizes will be based on total number of contestants ( will be posted on or around Sept. 5th )

4. This Contest is based on picking winning teams against the Spread. Contestants must select Six teams per week. ( Sides Only )
(a) Contestants may not select both sides of the same game. Any violation results in a double loss.
(b) Any selections that are duplicated will be graded first by the actual outcome and any subsequent duplications will be automatic losses.

5. Please note all Contest Lines listed in the drop-down menu are playable, even if the game goes OTB (Off the Board) at Pinnacle at a later date.

6. Contest winners will be determined by the total number of points accumulated during the NCAA Football regular season. Each winning selection will be credited as one point. Ties (pushes) count as one half point.

7. Contestants must submit their weekly selections by 8 pm Eastern time each Friday Night. * ONLY Saturday Games will be Used. Any contestant who fails to submit weekly selections by 8:00:59 pm Eastern time on Friday will be awarded zero points that week. This time deadline will be strictly enforced.

8. Weekly Lines will be Posted Each Tuesday Night ( will use Pinnacle Lines )

9. Only RX Members can Enter to Play ( You MUST have an RX User name and have at least 10 Posts )

10. Tie-breaking rules:
Tie-breaking rules will be applied to determine first place only. Entries tying for second through 10th place, will equally split aggregate prize money from the respective place. If ties exist after the NCAA Football regular season for first place, the champion will be determined based on the entry that accumulated the most contest points during the final three weeks of the regular season. If total points accumulated during the final three weeks is equal most points accumulated during the fourth to the final week will determine the winner, and so on weekly (in reverse order), until the tie is broken.
In the unlikely occurrence of a tie after the tie-breakers, co-champions will be declared and the aggregate prize money will be split equally.

* A Google Form will be provided to make your Weekly Picks. They will appear on the accompanying Spreadsheet, released after the 8pm Friday Deadline.

not much of difference from what we have been doing. Still pay the Top 10, and all I did was take 5% from the Winner share and split it between 5th and 10th
This is how it should have been at the beginning ....

tanner12oz · Sep 3, 2015

I dont care..im cool with either

bounceback · Sep 4, 2015

Im cool with spreading it like you did betall...Thank to you and JOH for running this man

easy_money · Sep 4, 2015

So I think I used the correct 4 digit passcode but I'm not sure. Is there anyway we can check what we originally put down when we signed up?

Not even close. Check your PM. Good way to check is write it down and store it somewhere. lol

Why are there games listed and posted on pinnacle that I can't select in the drop down? Ex. AZ State. Thanks

AZ St was off the board when the lines were posted Tuesday night. No games are added after the original posting.

401kHedge · Sep 4, 2015

Why the strict adherence to Tuesday line postings? Wouldn't it lead to more competition and overall enjoyment if games were added through something like Thursday? Or does it become a maintenance issue?

401kHedge · Sep 4, 2015

Not sure if there's room for interpretation or an opportunity to put to a vote, but if it's a one and done, I'd vote to wait until at least Wednesday, if not Thursday to pull the lines and get a much larger card to work with...

Like most Vegas Contests, we use the early lines. It's usually Wednesday's lines but we use Tuesday Night ( not much difference between the two ) and we do that because the Deadline is TONIGHT
by posting / going by Tuesday Night lines, it gives the players about 3 Days to look over and 'Cap" what they like.

You also have to remember JOH is doing this on his own Time. So if he posted on a Wednesday, it might be the Morning, Afternoon or even at Night. giving Players less time.

Even the Big LVH NFL Contest posts their lines on Wednesday ( Afternoon/Night ) for a Saturday Deadline

401kHedge · Sep 4, 2015

Thanks for the response! Fair enough. First time doing a contest like this so that's good to know.

Appreciate the hard work in putting this together, if I place you can count on 10% going to the house!
