Thanks JOH

is this the one with a parlay allowed but must be two different games and is optional? and all plays 1 unit - 3 units? 30 - 45 plays no max per day or is there a max?

can we have the official NHL contest rules one place for reference. I think there are baseball rules in the NHL thread as an example.

thanks JOH

Everything is correct above other than there is a 4 play max per day.
The rules will be inside the picks form which I will post later tonight when the lines come out. Easily accessible.

Question to see if something is allowed

Are you allowed to make picks at different times of the day? For instance - select 2 games in the AM, and then go back in later when the rest of the lines are posted and select 2 more? The football contests are basically one and done, so you need to have all of your picks at the same time. This contest a bit different due to late line posting.

Thanks.

Yes, since you can only submit one game at a time, you can submit them at any time as long as you beat the deadline. I DO appreciate it if you don't plan on making any picks for the day, submit the "No Plays" selection. This will allow opening the hidden column sooner.

minor question

what is the special choice of "no play" , continue in there for ? When would a player need that or use it? you dont actually need to check in daily with something right? I had not seen that choice in a JOH contest before.

Yeah it's somewhat new, trytry... I used in the Baseball Contests also. It's there so you guys can let me know if you have no intention on making a play that day, that way I don't wait around wondering and therefore allowing me to open the plays up for viewing sooner. Didn't think it was too much to ask. If you don't show up, I just have to wait until all games have started.

another JOH contest invention. superior idea. so if you make a couple picks early, then wait, make one later, but then think thats it for the night would you try to help and make a no play selection?
so you know thats it? is that no play click binding?

If you're sure you won't be making picks on a certain day, select "No Plays".

ok I see this now in the rules, rules are as you stated on the pick page and cover No Plays. Got it! good invention.

haha, I knew you were going to ask that. I guess you could do that after 3 plays but I wouldn't force you to. As far as binding, in the spirit of fair play, I would say "yes". No penalty if you change your mind, but hopefully you don't.
