The RX Presents:
The 4th Annual Hilton Style CFB Handicapping Contest


Introduction:
Welcome to the Rx's 4th Annual Hilton Style 2016 CFB Handicapping Contest. Last 3 years, we've had 48, 65 and 62 entries. Largest pot was in 2014 with $4950. This year we are setting new all-time records. The 33% bump in entry fees has not deterred the faithful as post-ups are flying by the previous highs. Four days to go and the sky's the limit. Previous winners were thekeyman (2013), The Computer Group (2014) and defending champion is ML Dog.

Final Breakdown of the Prizes
:
Prize Pool : $6,500 (65 entries)

1st Place ......... (40%) ...... $2600
2nd Place ........ (20%) ...... $1300
3rd Place ......... (10%) ...... $650
4th Place ......... (7%) ........ $455
5th Place ......... (5%) ........ $325
6th Place ......... (4.5%) ..... $292.50
7th Place ......... (4%) ........ $260
8th Place ......... (3.5%) ..... $227.50
9th Place ......... (3%) ........ $195
10th Place ....... (3%) ........ $195


Setup:
* Contest Runs for 13 Weeks from Sept 3rd - Nov 26th.
* Only Saturday cards will be used.
* The season long Non-Refundable Entry fee is $100.
* Entries accepted thru Fri, Sept 2nd @ 7pm EDT and payments must be received no later than Sat, Sept 3rd.
* Max 2 entries per poster.
* Only RX Members can enter (You MUST have an RX User name and have at least 10 Posts).

Contest Rules:
1) This Contest is based on picking winning teams against the Spread. Contestants must make 6 selections per week. (Sides Only)
2) Contestants may not select both sides of the same game. Any violation results in a double loss.
3) Any selections that are duplicated will be graded from left to right...leftmost by the actual outcome and any duplications to the right will be automatic losses.
4) Each winning selection will be credited with one point. Ties (pushes) will count as 1/2 point. Contest winners will be determined by the total number of points accumulated during the NCAA Football regular season.
5) Contestants must submit their weekly selections by 8pm Eastern time each Friday Night. 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.
6) Weekly Lines will be posted each Tuesday Night (Pinnacle Lines will be used).
7) 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.
8) All paid entries should have selected a 4-digit code when signing up. Enter this code at the bottom of the form when filling out your card. This serves as extra security so that we can confirm your identity. Be accurate! Wrong code means invalid entry and plays will not count.

Format:
* A Google Form will be set up with a link to submit your selections.
* An accompanying spreadsheet will accept your responses with picks hidden until the deadline.
* Standings will be posted on Sunday mornings on a viewable Google Spreadsheet with tabs for Weeks 1-13, making it easy to go back and reference your progression.
